My eyes suck. I need to find out about lasik.

Anyone had Lasik? How was before and after? How bad were your eyes?

ouch thats rough, im a -2.5 and thats plenty annoying. Good luck learning more on lasik I couldnt imagine having eyes that bad.

I know a few people who have had it done and they are very happy with it. That said, their are two factors to consider.

1. It's generally a good idea to wait until at least your mid 30's because your eyesight tends to worsen less (unless you've had the same rx for years)

2. If your rx keeps changing every year, you will likely want to wait on any surgical procedure.

My dad had Lasik done.

One surgery he is back at 20/20 in both eyes and hasn't had any problems or degeneration over the past 8 years.

He had HORRIBLE (to the point of not seeing 5 feet in front of him without glasses) eyesight.
