Beware if you are near 40 years old.
Beware if you are considering LASIK and you are near 40 years old.
After you correct the far vision, you will *instantly* lose your near vision!!!
After the surgery doctors will say this happens because your muscles are not as flexible
as younger people. Well, its too late, isn't it?
So be ready to wear glasses to see near items.
Remember you may need glasses to read labels on yiur shampoo bottle while you are in shower.
Are you willing to wear glasses to do *all* your near work?
Ask the doctor about this 25 times and try to get truth out of him before you say "yes" to LASIK.
Otherwise just say NO to LASIK.

Dr. Wang
I agree with "Dennis of TN" above. Dr. Wang in Nashville, TN is one of the best LASIK doctors in the world. In fact, people come from all over the world to see him for help with difficult LASIK problems. I asked him a question on his website (www.wangvisioninstitute.com) and he responded personally! No other doctor I've seen has ever done that!
As this article says, if you want to avoid being a dissatisfied LASIK patient, then you need to go to the best place, and from all the research I've done Dr. Wang is clearly such a place.
Eye Surgery
Lasik & Lasek. Two different types of proceedures. I had the Lasek surgery about 5 years ago and could't be happier. Had to wait for about 3-4 months for my eyes to totally adjust but that is normal and now everything is perfect. I opted for mono-vision and now the only glasses I buy are sunglasses. Would do it again.
Bad Lasik
Had lasik about 3 months ago and I'm not pleased at all with my decision thus far. After reading through the various different internet forums and articles after the fact I now realize that is was the most reckless decision I've made in my life. Especially since my correction was only a mild one. Currently I'm in constant pain, it's the most annoying when I try to read or work on the computer but it never stops even when I sleep. Figure it will be extremely hard to forgive myself. It's so hard to think positively about the future, I'm trying but it's hard.
I have an extreme feeling of loss, my vision is worse off than it was previous to lasik and then there's the extreme pain. The only place I feel comfortable right now is in bed with my eyes closed. I can't socialize anymore and I can't real work.
Guilt is another major problem I've been dealing with, I feel so stupid for letting somebody do this to me and the fact that I paid them to do this to me. I can't talk to any friends about this because I'm so embarrassed by the whole situation and feel they'll think I'm completely nuts for having undergone the procedure.
I'm really scared about what the future will be, may have extreme difficulties at work and away from work. I don't think I'm going to enjoy many of the simple pleasures of life like I used to anymore.
Hopefully my eyes will improve. I've been seeing a counsellor and a psychologist so hopefully some of my dealings with them will allow me to cope better with the whole situation
Surgery 4 years ago.
I had my surgery with Dr. Wang of Nashville, TN
He was the first at that time to introduce bladeless lasik surgery to the area.
The most severe surgical flap complications are related to problems with flap creation using a surgical blade. Reports in medical literature document increased safety using the bladeless Intralase technique and Dr. Wang felt this method is superior to previous blade technology.
I heard that more than 3,000 physicians and other doctors have received treatment from Dr.Wang
If other doctors can trust him then so can I!
if you in the Nashville, TN area that I would recommend Dr. Wang
just check out his website!

LASIK Screening, Technology, and Your LASIK Surgeon Can Improve Your Results
LASIK Surgery has helped millions of Americans decrease their need for glasses and contacts. However, it is not for everyone. It is important to screen for dry eye disease, keratoconus, and other ocular conditions. It is also important that patients have realistic expectations about the surgery. A good LASIK surgeon will turn away patients that are not good candidates. For more information, visit http://www.2020sandiego.com

fourth corrective surgery to come
My daughter had the procedure done by a big, expensive reputable firm in the Washington/D.C. area. The same one that Tiger Woods used. Too bad I didn't read this article before hand, since it clearly states that "large pupils and severe nearsighteness, which would disqualify a person from the procedure." We were told repeatedly that my daughter had very, large pupils, but also that she was a "perfect candidate" for the procedure. They are still trying to correct the problem over a month and a half later. Monday will be her fourth surgery. I wouldn't recommend it to any one after the pain my daughter has endured. What a deal at almost $4,000.00!
lasik
I just had LASIK perfromed on 1/21/09. My right eye is already 20/20, but my left eye is only at 20/40. This is still better than where I was pre-op, but how likely is it that my left eye will too be 20/20? Or am I just paranoid??
