Well, I can say my right eye is still going strong. Unfortunately, my left eye isn't quite up to par, and I'm getting minor headaches when driving or focusing on far objects. I'm disappointed because it seems like everyone else I know still has great vision or at least made it 10 years before they started considering glasses again.

This surgery is high risk surgery at great cost with many unknowns. People do it for different reasons but it does in some cases it feeds off societal insecurities of image and appearance and the idealism of a miracle cures. It steals control from a patient and places it by proxy into a Drs hands, possibly making healthy eyes sick, creating a perfect storm for the medical industry creating more work.

I just finished my last follow-up LASIK exam, and I'm still doing well. From here out, I will see my own optometrist annually. I could have an annual eye exam at the LASIK office, but I want to take advantage of the vision plan my insurance provides—it's financially more agreeable.
On another note, my boyfriend and I will be taking scuba lessons in the next month or so. The friend that ultimately helped me choose Dr Rothman a year ago, has become passionate about diving and has had no problems with mask or dive pressure. She also started diving in as little as two weeks after her LASIK. I'm pretty excited, so hopefully I have the same great experience with my LASIK below water as above.

Would you do Lasik knowing that a rare condition called “Corneal Neuralgia” develops after Lasik? And those who developed Corneal Neuralgia From Lasik Contemplated Suicide ?
I regret doing this.

After a couple of months, I've lowered my use of drops substantially. I also no longer feel the habit/urge to remove my contacts before I go to bed (scary right?).

Just wanted to thank you again for your really detailed review, and with pics too, which is so hard to find for Lasik reviews! :) How are things going now? Everything still good?

Happy to help! I still wake up with a slight bit of dryness, but a single drop in each eye does wonders. I experience no other dryness throughout my day. I'm actually coming up on my year follow up, but I feel great!

Thank you, THANK YOU for this detailed and informative mini blog. It's hard to find real testimonies after the post surgical glee that most people post about. I'm glad and relieved to see that you posted up to 6 months after your surgery. I am also very glad that you have adjusted to and are enjoying your new eyes! I have been saving to get this surgery and also have about 20/400 vision with severe astigmatism. So thanks again and best wishes to you!
I've only just started thinking about having lasik eye surgey as I notice that I am struggling to see smaller print though I am near sighted. Your reviews have given me answers to questions I didn't know I had yet! :)
Do you consider the surgery to have been worth all of the drops etc, even as now you are noticing less that perfect vision in your 1 eye? ...If you had it to do all again, knowing that you would receive exactly the same results, - would you have the surgey?
Thanks again!
