Since this question is coming up all the time: Yes, I am still VERY happy with my decision to get the surgery. It's been around 10 years now, my eyes and vision are still great, I never regretted my decision and I would do it again in a heartbeat 🙂

[@jaredgarbo3679]

How was the pain managed and did it work? Is there any recommendations for before surgery, I plan on taking some codeine shortly before.

[@5croobius]

Great to hear how well it went! Thanks for doing these blogs, Its great to see how things are done in a totally different culture

[@Drag0nwind]

Hope you have a smooth recovery Khaldor, thanks for the update.

[@Steveo007]

Looking great man, glad it went well, I have an appointment next Tuesday, hope everything goes well 🙏

[@RonnyKeil]

You just made me get the surgery as well. I think more people than you realize appreciate those videos.

[@graciefields898]

Thank you, that was so helpful. I'm having my eyes done in three weeks and found your video very reassuring. Thanks again.

[@thebird9766]

How did it go?

[@Flothyy90]

so happy for you!

[@brandonwillson5344]

Good video to watch a couples days before surgery. Thank you 👌

How is your vision now please

[@Omega068]

I'm happy to hear the surgery went well! And it was interesting to hear what they do in the recovery process. I've never heard of the blood-eye drop thing.

[@xdpelpel1]

I had a Lasek surgery as well. Its almost 2 months after it and im feeling great, any problems excluding 2 days of pain at beginning, but now its very good. Changed my life for sure. Hope It will be fine for you as well! :)

[@souleymeneabbadi3891]

How is your vision now please

[@TimeWolf26]

Thanks Khaldor. I'm a person looking at eye surgery in the future but I'm pathetic as fuck so I've been really scared of it, but you've really cleared up a lot of my fear. I'll be sure to rewatch this before I go in

[@GhostyMist]

Don’t ever call yourself pathetic.

[@setitup89]

best of luck on the recovery khaldor.

[@Xiloscient7]

Wow. I'm happy for you man. I'm 28 and always wanted to get it done myself, but never had the spare cash. And yes, *everyone* who wears glasses or contacts can relate. You should totally go swimming sometime too! Not being blind at a pool must be awesome!

[@matiasmarcucci7900]

You did it?

[@h4nkyy]

Weiterhin gute Besserung! ;)

[@Joshieboy150]

Thanks for the upload. It's interesting to hear about the before and after feelings. As someone with pretty excellent vision, I love hearing your perspective on being able to see more easily in times you once were not able to. Hope your recovery is speedy. Excited to hear more about the recovery process. Cheers

[@MrSauron19]

Khaldor is on stimpack :D. Kidding. Good recovery man!!!. Can't wait to see you back in action :). glgl

haha I wish ^^ I'm not allowed to go to the gym (or do any other sports for that matter) for 7-10 days

[@odiliyah]

I had lasik done back in 2005. Im looking at retreatment with Lasik again very soon. 1st time was painless but a bit apprehensive this time!

[@kevinnam4637]

thanks for the videos kahldor, originally being from korea i always wanted to go back and get the surgery, this video was very informative :) just a few questions tho, i heard you should wait till your 25 to get it done when ur vision stops changing as much, is this true?? also did u need like a guardian to take u back after the surgery? /

[@BTVS666]

Thanks for sharing your experiences with a LASEK surgery. I'm sick of my glasses and unfortunately my eyes won't accept contact lenses, so I'm thinking about that surgery. I'm still on the fence in terms of the risks involving a surgery but now I'm more confident.

[@thebird9766]

How did you go?

[@dadafub]

I thought exactly the same (these veins, man) :-) Good to see you ok, Khaldor!

[@yomedrath]

Good to hear that it's going great! Good Luck with the next couple of days, hope it doesn't get too bad. Did they say anything about cooking (fumes/onions and stuff xD)?

[@jeffhesser1]

That is a great deal. I checked with 3 places and this was the lowest by a fair margin (plus they offered 0% financing for 12/mo). Enjoy the new eyes. Mine was about 2 yrs ago and still perfect vision. The halo stuff fades over time but that takes a bit.

[@acelsheppard8348]

Thank you for sharing expirience sir .tomorrow my.laser both cataract so lessen my nervouse.

[@sarahk.6115]

This is really helpful thank you!!!

[@jeffhesser1]

Sounds pretty similar to my surgery. No contacts were put in for me though. Cost about $1500/eye for me. Best money ever spent. Lasik Plus was great and they are everywhere.

[@osnapitzcupcakez2]

I know exactly what you're talkin' about with the not being able to see thing. I really want to get similar surgery, gonna look in to it knowing it's that easy & painless. Expensive here in the US, but I think it'll be worth it.

[@dlgntrprs]

Good for you in this decision. It's been a year now since your Lasek surgery, I hope your vision is still doing OK.

Still perfect, no regrets

I think Lasek is worth it since it is half the price of Lasik! Is everything ok with your eyes two years later?

[@callumfuentes99]

I’ve got my LASEK surgery on 4th October! How long did it take for your eye sight to become 20/20?

[@maili-talks296]

How are your eyes now? I've just paid the deposit to get mine done - but its long term I'm most curious about considering the amount of money you pay

[@BrendanBeckett]

I have trouble focusing my eyes on a point for a long time, they involuntarily twitch and look around periodically.

[@Eisenfuerst]

yeah..i think you're right^^

[@hayman122]

Second day off lasik im 20 did it all laser was quick and after surgery you can see pretty well but its after a bit first 2hrs your eyes will feel like filled with soap and you have to wait it out was kinda bad but it wares off next morning im doing well they offerd a xanax but i didint feel any effect. I didint do any blood tests though. But god damn this is amazing iv had glasses since 8. Gl all

[@mkamb2159]

hi! what was your eye prescription? thanks!

[@testthewest123]

That "eyedrops" must be just your serum. It contains some antibodies (and should be sterile if handled correctly), perhaps they add some further antimicrobial agents as well. Because if you get an infection at this vulnerable site, you really in for some problems...

[@kmtbritton]

oh no! Your gains!!!!!

are there any downside to Lasek? It sounds like a miracle o.O

[@TheDedloc]

woah.... she touched your arm?! This story is heating up!! Wish i had a warning in the description sheeeeesh!

[@DF-ss5ep]

Just came home from mine. Surgery is a bit scary, it's anxiety inducing, your vision goes dark at a certain point, and the walk back is annoying, having your vision all blurry. Right now I'm tearing up a lot, I have an eye protection, but I notice that I can still see farther, but not the license plates at the end of the street. Hopefully it will improve even more. That said, it's mild, as far as surgeries go.

[@nobrokies9030]

How is it now?

[@DF-ss5ep]

@@nobrokies9030 Recuperation was straightforward and I had no symptoms after a few days. I did have one problem, which is that at far distances, one of my eyes sees better than the other. There was still a big improvement to my vision, of course. Make sure your doctor measures your sight correctly so the results are optimal.

[@YourFLPs]

Could you walk immediately after the surgery or you had to wait?

[@Khaldor]

I was in a dark room for maybe half an hour to give the eyes some time to rest and then went home by myself using public transport. Better of course if you have somebody with you, but yes you are good to go after the procedure is done.

[@98gardyl]

Greetings from germany, schwerin, ur the best Caster and u need to had hair in time =D

[@Stefanuslol]

What's the difference between Lasek and Lasik and which is safer?

[@maili-talks296]

Lasek dissolves the top layer of your Cornea (the Epithelium) off, and then lets it grow back under the protective contact lens. This is usually used when someone's cornea is quite thin. Lasik slices the top of the cornea and makes a flap, which they then flap back over once they've finished the laser treatment. Typically heals alot faster and is more popular due to this, but can't be done on everyone

[@xTimpi]

pretty sure that khaldors "slight discomfort" already means "unbesrable pain" for others :D

[@Hala.H]

How are your eyes now , is everything still okay ?

[@Khaldor]

Yes, still great and still happy with the decision

[@drewfsu1]

I wanted to ask you a couple questions about your experience with LASEK. I had my procedure done 18 days ago at a surgical center in Florida. From this time in the recovery process, what was your experience compared to mine on the following subjects: 1. Clarity: my right eye seems to be pretty clear but my left eye has this constant haziness. It's not crisp. 2. Night vision: my vision at night, low light, is really bad. It's extremely blurry and can almost be jarring. Lights have a very large bloom. 3. Reading on electronic devices: I've noticed that black text on white backgrounds is hardest to see. The effect is similar to all the text having a shadow4. Visual improvement: after getting the contacts removed my eyesight was awful for a couple days. It then became much clearer. However, over the past week I have seen little to no change in either left or right eye.

[@hayman122]

Well shit man r u ok now? Sounds like weak recovery or need for a extra surgury to fix? Read my comment my vision is pretty strong but not 20/20 its been 1 day im 20yrsold i did get LASIK

[@vatnalament6585]

Hi, can I ask you why you choose lasek over lasik? Thank you

[@jackfuller7801]

Vatna Lament some people are unable to have LASIK due to the thickness of the front layer of the eye. If it’s too thin they have to do LASEK, or some people can’t have it at all.

[@vatnalament6585]

@@jackfuller7801 hi, thank you for the reply. I've been offered to choose as my cornea is ok and it looks like lasek is a overall better option
