Post by: rogwar on June 07, 2011, 02:36:09 PM
Money is a little tight with the economy and all so I thought about giving this a whirl...

Yikes! 

I don't know that I could bring myself to do that.  My vision, even as poor as it currently is, is pretty important to me.

I'd have it done professionally, it seems to be a great alternative to wearing glasses.

I heard that Lasik surgery by a professional isn't worth the cost because you eye actually grows back to its old shape...
Not sure how credible that is though...

Reminds me of an old saying:

"If you think it's expensive to hire a professional, you should see the cost of an amateur."

Not to mention there is a small risk of your eye sight getting worse or going blind.

Ya know, I wonder if those are the same people with the "Remove Hemorrhoids At Home", "Home Removal of Appendix & Tonsils Made Easy", and "Triple Bypass Surgery on Your Own Dining Room Table--Sure Ya Can!" website?

Lasik is a viable treatment to prolong lense flexibility.

Muscles will still weaken, lense still stiffens, age *will* take it's toll.

Cost effective? .. just how much is it worth to not wear corrective lenses?
Opinions Vary :)

Yeah it has to be a joke. During real lasik a thin layer of the cornea is sliced and the lasers reshape underneath that flap. No possible way it could be done at home LOL

Not very, I would say.

I had professional Lasik done about 10 years ago.

It was one of the best things I've ever done, I was driving without glasses the next morning, haven't worn glasses since.

I only wish this technology had been available when I was in my 20's.

My vision with glasses was a little better than it is today without them, but it was worth the small difference.

I will still need reading glasses someday, as that is not a function of eye shape but losing lens elasticity due to age.

However I probably won't ever need bifocals.

I highly recommend it, but I didn't go with the lowest bidder.

No place for bargain priced surgery IMO.
