Has anyone had bad experiences with lasik eye surgery?Candace
I am 43 years old and would like to have it done so I don't need to wear reading glasses and have another pair for long distance. I also have one lazy eye. Will lasik work for that eye too?

I had lasik done last year, at 42, for moderate to severe (20/675) myopia. I'm a hair away from 20/20 now, and am very pleased.If you see an experienced surgeon and are screened for risk factors for the surgery, there should be very little risk of a bad result. Of all the people I know, only one has had a problem afterwards, and that was chronically dry eyes. However, she had it done 6 years ago with a blade, not laser, and was told she was borderline (too flat an angle) for the surgery anyway. The lazy eye can be done if the laziness is not too severe. You'd have to be examined by the doctor to know for sure. I don't know where you are, but I had my eyes done in Canada. They are 5 years ahead of the USA as far as lasik experience, and it cost half of what it would have cost here.

My sister had Lasiks, and She is one of the statistics that had a bad surgery. She is now seeing more than one eye specialist. I would recommend you do your homework and research the procedures first, get more than one opinion on your eyes, and research the doctor your going to use very well. Report Abuse
