Hi everyone! Dr Woo actually reached out to me and let me know that lasik can actually be a lot less than $6k especially during their promotions! It’s way more affordable than what I originally said and Laser Eye Center also offers no interest monthly payments as well so just come in for a free consultation! The price totally depends on what surgery you qualify for 🥰

omg we have the same vision (luckily, i don’t have an astigmatism)!! i love when people say their vision is bad and then i tell them my vision and they’re shook, lol!! you just gave me hope. I’m going to start looking into this.

Hahaha my entire life has been convincing people my vision is *actually* that bad. Lasik changed my life!! Hope you can have that soon too 🤍

I have the same exact vision as her also and I did not think I can get Lasik surgery because one of my eye doctors actually told me I couldn’t because my prescription was so high

Thanx for sharing your experience, i also got Silk surgery done in Dec. My specs power was around -6D. Dr, Rahil from Eye7 Hospital performed my surgery. Now my eyes are perfect and now i can see much better than my glasses.

im getting lasik in 3 days. i literally can’t wait. my vision is -6/eye with an astigmatism. it costed me $5,000 here in Orlando, Fl. so far everything is going great. my cornea is a little thin but thick enough to do Lasik (rather than PRK).

Hi Christine! Thank you for sharing your video. There are not many shared experiences out there from people with higher prescriptions prior to the surgery. It looks like you didn't need any touch up after your first round? I did LASIK in Oct 2022 and my prescription was also on the higher end (R: -7.5, L:-6.5). Its almost 3 months now and unfortunately, my results are not as clear as expected. I went in for my check up to learn that I have some myopia left (on the lower range of -1.00). So now I have been told to wait for a little longer to see if the prescription stabilizes and I can make that decision for enhancement again. It is a sucky situation because while my vision has improved a great deal, it is still not clear to be enjoyed without glasses. Yes, I am back on glasses especially when its dark or when I am watching TV.

@jackw4887 Жыл бұрын

LASIK is a well marketed surgery. Everyone ends up in glasses again down the road. Also your eyes are 2.4% as strong and your corneal nerves thay produce tears are destroyed indefinitely.

I know lasik is definitely worth the investment, so hopefully I can get it within the next few years!! I’m so tired of contacts and glasses haha

But when I got my glasses to wear, it was broken. It broke in my purse because I didn’t have it in a carrying case. I had to figure out how to tape it to wear for the rest of the time plus traveling home. Ugh 😩 i

I’m going for a consultation this week, I’ve been watching reviews and confused. They say you can get halos or glare after surgery but I have astigmatism and was hoping the surgery would help with glare as it’s so bad at night trying to drive. As you have astigmatism can you say if it’s has helped with glare or got worse?

Wow my optometrist where I used to get my contact lenses kept telling me for YEARS that my eyes were not stable enough, they were too dry to get LASIK, I would need to keep waiting, the last time I went to get my eye test I was told the same thing again and I decided to go to a specialist. Immediately they told me I’m ready and a good candidate 😑 I told him my optometrist kept telling me I’m not ready and he said they’re told to do that so they can keep selling you contact lenses. To anyone being told the same thing, GO TO A SPECIALIST and a get an opinion, don’t trust your contact lens supplier, you’ll be waiting your whole life. I could’ve gotten it done 5 years ago! Regardless, getting it done was the best decision in my life

the reason why I'm considering laser surgery is honestly because I'm tired of losing my glasses..... 3rd time is the charm, I don't think my vision is bad because I can "see" blurry from far, even at night. I just can't read text from afar, I could literally drive without glasses at night even though I see blurry, life just seems to suck more when you somehow keep losing the same bullshit!!!!!!! I just turned 31, 3 months ago btw.....
