Anyone have experiences recently …?
Going in for eval Jan 2
at Schaumburg office
scheduled with Dr Horn
Please give results please …
I would like informative responses
Well, at one point I would have considered it, but I was doing some service work in an office that does the procedure. I noticed that most people being scheduled for the procedure were given Sunday appointments.
I thought it was unusual for any doctor’s office to be open on Sunday, and was told they only do that procedure on Sundays, because there are less heavy trucks and tractor- trailers on the road in front of the office on Sundays!
Wiggles the laser, I suspect 
My brother had Laser Eye Surgery done. Mostly because he’s too much of a baby to wear glasses… he’s clumsy and breaks things.
He has no complaints, just have fun not being able to see for a day or two after you get it done.
I haven’t had it done, nor know of anyone who has had it done.
Ill just say this, Lasik is one cool little operation to watch one tv! 
Informative Responses Please
Dont Post Here If You Have No Relevant Input
My mom had it a couple years ago. The procedure was fast and from what she said didn’t really hurt. She had to wear sunglasses for a period after it but see had a big improvement in her vision. It’s more effective when you get it done at a younger age so I’ll probably end up getting it done to when I’m in my 20s.
How come?
LOL couldn’t resit. My dad had it a couple years ago went well the only thing is that they set his vision for distance i.e. he can see just fine but he needs reading glasses.
Well that was subtle. But, yeh, don’t have it done - I saw this documentary about it going wrong and this guy feeling the laser ripping through his eye - he lost sight permanently and it was all very bad. 
Figures all the immature brats in this forum would be the only replies I receive
Let me know when you kiddies are willing to drop 4 thousand dollars for a life changing event.
Maybe then, you would understand
okay I won’t post here then
I’ve reported every one of you little punks to Gilby.
My hope is to have this thread locked.
And I probably wont be back here again.
I hope you all get coal for Christmas from your mommies and daddies
Gee, thanks, but you can manually add each person to your ignore list. No need for me to do that for you.
Man, who cares? Would you rather have zero replys to this thread, then a bunch of replys that aren’t perfect?
What kind of information are you expecting?
Oh, when he cuts into your eye with the laser you shouldn’t move. Disregard the caution sign that says Power outages lead to eye loss.
The only responses you’re going to get are, “Yeah, it went well” or “It went horribly wrong for me, how am I on a computer telling you this?”
You would care …
IF:
- You were born blind.
- You had eye surgury at the age of 3 to straighten eye muscles.
- You had to live with getting new glasses every 2 years for 46 years since the age of 4.
- You could not see without glasses, even after 40 years of correction.
- You had save forever to afford the surgery.
I could go on …
Let me know when you go blind … maybe then you might be in my shoes
Okay, sounds like you have an interesting situation, I hope you don’t report me, but honestly I don’t think anyone has had your situation, therefore none of us will be able to help you, maybe you can find an eye doctors forum somewhere though.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
You have saved up 4k dollars and you are asking us for advice?
Simple enough …?
It was written in my original post
OK Dave, here’s my experience. I had it done 2 years ago and LOVE it and think it’s the best thing ever and would recommend it to everyone. It is well worth the cost and pays for itself over time (glasses, contacts, solution, etc…). It was pretty much painless and the only thing I didn’t like was the burning smell (like burnt hair) and then when the suction goes on your eye and you loose vision for a couple seconds. I went home and slept after the surgery and woke up with perfect vision and no pain. Your eyes will be dry for the first month so you use drops but after that they should be good. My eyes are a little more sensitive to light now but not too bad. Hope this helps…
