I was tired of my Ortho-K lenses and wanted to get rid of them.
It has been 2 months since my first procedure and I couldn't be happier! I'm enjoying life in a way that I could never have done before with my Ortho-K lenses. I needed to wear them every night so they could...

I always believed my vision was just fine, unaware I had been adapting to a fuzzy world for years. I didn’t even realize I was constantly squinting in order to see, but eventually I couldn’t get by that way any longer and there began my unwanted, yet necessary relationship with...

I went into have eye surgery, and felt good about my decision. When I saw the eye surgeon, he informed me that my corneas were too thin, so rather than the typical procedure, where they cut the cornea and flpa it over, in my case, he had to laser right through my cornea. He told me I'd have...

I chose PRK because I wanted to avoid the flap issue, and I understood the pros/cons of the procedure. Now, I am confused about whether I actually had PRK or LASIK. And, I'm not sure how to approach my doctor about the issue.This is a question regarding PRK. Last month, I underwent what I...

I didn't have the Lasik procedure done, but a similar laser surgery here in Canada where the eye isn't cut (thus called no-touch). Much the same as Lasik and the results are fabulous. Had only my right eye done to see for distance and still maintain my reading vision in my left. Sounds weird I...

Four months ago I had a brown spot removed from the white of the eye. I removed it because the freckle in my eye had grown in size and got darker over the years, which ruined the beauty of my eyes and caused me to be embarassed when making eye contact.My eye now has a red line in it where the...

I am so happy to not have to wear contacts or glasses any more. I was fairly nearsighted -3.25 and had astigmatism in both eyes as well. The only down side is strictly vanity, as you go without eye makeup for 7-10 days prior and about the same after. Seemed like a horrendously long time to me,...

Laser eye surgery: was it worth it?
Laser Eye Surgery Information
Laser eye surgery-- including the popular lasik surgery-- involves the modification of the cornea. By changing the shape of your cornea, the focusing power of the eye is improved and refractive errors such as near or farsightedness and astigmatism can be corrected.
During laser eye surgery, your surgeon cuts a flap in an area of the eye, leaving a hinge at one end. Once the flap is folded back, a laser changes the shape of the middle section of the cornea. The flap is returned to the original position and the procedure is finished. There are different specialized procedures that correct focal problems. The most common are LASIK and PRK.
