[@K00711]

I regretting for not watching your video before my smile surgery 😢, Now 1yr after smile surgery, i have same problems u have, also i have vision issues in all distances, its was my worst decision in my life Doctors also suggested another surgery for me, its most risker, even most safe smile surgery cause this kind of worst complications means then that second surgery will ruin my life, Corporate hospitals doing this surgery for sake of money😢

[@shanecle]

I'm so sorry to hear this, brother. I canceled my LASIK surgery last week after researching what they actually do to your cornea. I hope you can recover.

If you are young you should go for SMILE

[@granadosable]

@@ThenameisOskar Don't do any surgery on healthy corneas.

[@chrisvig123]

@@ThenameisOskar they’re all essentially the same and they all carry the same risks 😮

[@ThenameisOskar]

@@chrisvig123 With SMILE they make a very small incision. With LASIK they make a big incision which can cause an eye trauma. Also the healing process of SMILE is very chill. No pain or whatever. You can do everything again the next day.

[@ThenameisOskar]

@@granadosable Too late. I was nearsighted. Now after the laser treatment my vision is perfect. It has been about 9 months, I’m still happy with it

[@PeppermintCats]

You described the issues I have almost exactly. I got Lasik rather than Smile and have all the same issues. Truly hellish surgeries. I know how hard it is, wishing you all the best in the future.

Is not about lasik and smile, all refractive surgeries can cause these complications 😢

Hello . Unfortunately, I had the Rolex Smile operation two years ago, and it was not successful. I have exactly the same symptoms that I experienced. I wish you from my heart a speedy recovery. I will follow you to see your health condition as a motivation for me to cling to hope for treatment. I wish I had seen this video before the operation, but this is God’s will. I advise people not to do this operation.mehdi from Morocco

كيف انت الان هل ندمت على اجراء العملية.

[@watercool5]

Had SMILE about 4 months ago and I love the results. I'm still experiencing some dry eye, mostly in the morning, but I'll be using drops and doing warm compresses and hopefully the dryness will go away. Even if it doesn't I wouldn't go back. I love seeing clearly without glasses or contacts. It's a miracle.

[@Maruth]

How long it took to get nearsight back?

[@danolson1144]

LASIK destroyed my eyes as well. Sorry this happened to you. I hope you can recover.

[@nkl009]

Sorry..what happened..

[@onetwo4181]

What happened, bro ?

[@Xcf_341]

Uff so I guess, I don't want to do that anymore…

[@NicolasPiperMusic]

Thank you for sharing this! I wish you luck, brother! Stay strong!

[@TravelTechie415]

I had SMILE, no dry eyes (incision was made from top, underneath eyelid), no pain. I see absolutely perfect outside daytime, good night time just a little bit of starburst with car lights. Indoors lowlight is fine, but Indoors with bright artificial lights is where I have issues / signs look a bit blurry from afar / grocery stores.

[@mrburot]

What is the update bro ? It's been 4 years now

[@moniqueh7948]

Hi David. Great video. Please make more. You are helping so many people to avoid this criminal surgery. I believe that in five to ten years there will be some good stem cell treatments which will reduce some of these symptoms. Take care.

[@diehard200]

Maybe in china

[@JK41O1]

How will Stem Cell Therapy fix this? the Cornea isn´t damaged that the body will want to fix it. I think this wont happen near future.

[@blind_warriorr]

Start making videos again. The truth needs to be heard.

[@alexanderpeter1703]

i had smile on monday, no light sensitivity or any side effects, night vison got better than with my glasses. best decision ever, paid 5500 euro, but with the best laser and best doctor in my region. its only the first days and it also gets better day to day. first day was like looking through a milk glass that getting thinner every hour. day after surgery milk glass was gone and only near vision wasnt that good but now a few days after it got well. my floaters are gone since the operation. one thing could be better, its the sharpness sometimes, but this got also better every day now, so few month and it will be perfect

[@alanmt8819]

So happy for you, man! SMILE is supposed to be a safer alternative to LASIK

Thanks for your testimonial, there aren't many feedback on this online.

[@death2theworld]

You need Laserfit sclerals they are made specifically from a scan of your eye to correct the visual night aberrations you're seeing. There is only 3 laserfits in United States as far as I know but it's the only treatment I am aware of this problem. Normal sclerals do not work as they are made by guesses and estimations not a scan of your eye..

[@EramShaikh21397]

What is your current situation now...

[@junaidkabir4284]

Underwent SMILE yesterday , and my vision started improving from yesterday itself , and it’s a lot better right now , it was the best decision I made , there is no pain or itching except for a couple of hours after surgery . It will take about 2-3 weeks for a full 6/6 vision . Not everyone can undergo SMILE / LASIK , only those who have power up to -8D ,normal retina , corneal thickness and corneal topography are eligible for it . Those who have thinner cornea are prescribed IPCL

[@Maruth]

Hey, how long it took to get the nearsight back

[@philaman1972]

Hi. I just saw your video. It's very sad that the doctor who performed the surgery on you either did not do their due diligence and tell you that you are not a suitable candidate or they blatantly lied to you. Nevertheless, I am sorry you have to wrestle with these complications. Can you provide us with an update? Do you still have the issues you discussed or did you seek further treatment to correct them?

[@HarshChoudhary-pm4sx]

I felt the pain god bless you

[@waltersteyger1215]

Did they measure your dilated pupils before procedure ?

[@stela_solar]

I am sorry about your many problems. I also have floaters and am trying the treatment in a natural way (with bromelina) and would recommend you reading about it. About the halo, I also had for a while and with time it disappeared naturallly, that‘s why I would leave a surgery only as a last resource. Wish you good luck. 🍀

Have you tried Autologous Serum Tears for your dry eyes?

[@alsaghirabdallahmansour4578]

Very good choice for treating dry eyes.

[@noviamiproperty]

How are your eyes now?

[@Serenadio]

Dude, also use something like EyeLeo when working at computer

[@andwoe1752]

Hi David, could you clarify what kind of surgery they suggested to you? PRK perhaps? And why does it cause earlier cataracts? I'm suffering from these complications too due to large pupils and hoping for some solution. PS: don't get the vitrectomy, it's far too risky.

[@oscarmunoz9391]

I also think my problems are due to my large pupils. Did you find a solution?

[@andwoe1752]

@@oscarmunoz9391 some use pupil-constricting eye drops (miotics), but they come with their own side effects and afaik, they are not safe for everyday use. For me, they cause severe discomfort but I have to say they reduce the starbursts significantly. It's worth a try at least. The solution you're looking for are scleral lenses. Unfortunately they're expensive and a bit cumbersome to put in and out, but they're very comfortable and provide the best possible vision for cases like ours. You'll need to find an contact lens specialist that is able to properly fit you with such a lens, though.

[@andersbrandbu]

How is there a risk of becoming nearsighted or farsighted when undergoing a surgery to treat night vision problems? I suffer from the same problems as you and would want to undergo another surgery to treat double vision etc.

[@Odank]

Look into wavefront guided / optimised method of correction.

Have you tried phakic icl surgery? May be it can recover you.

[@Sureshkumar-mb1xf]

What is phakic icl surgery???

[@waterfallhunter9642]

How big are your pupils?

[@ReamsX]

My pupils larger than opic of icl (phakic). Thus, I had starburst and ghosting at reduce light condition.

[@26DeislerFCB]

i heard blue eyes not very good with eye laser surgery is that true?

[@DicerX]

My man checked every box for what could go wrong. Sadly you are 1% of the 1% of patients that get these results. You had an inexperienced/incompetent doctor who didn't assess your situation and did you wrong. I hope you can sue them to the ground, but fearmongering the surgery itself is unwarranted.

[@churchofsatan2041]

Pay so much money just to get your eyes fucked up

[@tanker242]

This could have been avoided with a treatment like Contoura PRK where my treatment area was 9mm… also having smaller pupils help. Thankfully my doctor said I have small pupils. PRK is also less likely to have chronic dry eyes when compared to LASIK. Apparently SMILE is good for dry eyes too, but the laser cannot treat as well as the excimer laser used in Lasik and PRK.

[@Odank]

Contoura is topography guided only. Topo-integrated wavefront optimised is usually the go to for normal eyes without notable abberations.

[@thelostresponsibility]

Not really. Here I am with wavefront guided PRK and the same exact issues as the author of the video. Your pupils are small, that's the only reason you don't experience these issues.

[@TOMLINBISH]

BULLSHIT!! PRK/LASEK causes chronic dry eyes just like ALL other unregulated refractive eye ops! 😡

[@TOMLINBISH]

ALL types of unregulated laser & other refractive eye surgeries (lens replacement & Implantable Contact Lens) are massively more risky than anyone is told prior, and NO SURGEON in the world can fix serious complications & I've found this out the hard way! 😡 USA FOX DETROIT weather presenter Jessica Starr committed suicide shortly after having had 'SMILE' 🙄 with this being touted as the next great advance in laser eye surgery but it damages patients just like all the other types & ALL of them are just acceptable casualties to the surgeons & industry involved in profiting so much from these ops! 🤬
