Answer by David ELASIK can be done even if you wear toric lenses. The price will not be any higher. Prices range from $ 1000 per eye for a pretty basic procedure (Like the one I had 11 years ago and still love) to $ 2000 for state of the art. You may need to be out of your contacts a little longer before your procedure. Toric lenses are thicker and distort the cornea more than others.

Recently it seems as though my eyes have gotten worse. My glasses work fine when i have them on, but i’ve been noticing that when i dont wear them, its getting harder & harder to see things i once could.

Question is, how old are you supposed to be to get this done? If i get it done now, and say a year or two down the road it starts getting worse again do they do ‘free touch ups?’

Also, if anyone knows, how does sitting in front of a computer affect your eyes? I’m a writer, so i spend plenty of time in front of the screen.

Thanks! Also, how do i find a Lasik eye specialist near me..and how do i know they are legit & safe?

18 is the magic age so you’re fine there. you eyes will get worse with glasses as you’ll become more dependent on them as time goes on. once it’s done, it’s usually good for life. my sil had this done quite a few yrs ago. she had coke bottle glasses and now needs nothing. she uses a computer all day and has no problems. of course each person is different. find a good opthamologist in your area. he can refer you to a good center for this. we have a lrg eye clinic in our area which deals in nothing but diseases of the eye. don’t reley on the ads you here on radio and tv. i don’t trust those guys. have it vhecked to see if you’re a candidate. i can tell you, if you are to farsighted, they probably won’t do it as lasix doesn’t work on that. that’ the reason i couldn’t have it done.
good luck

Answer by LissacalI am in CA, so I cannot answer your specific question regarding surgeons in AZ, but I have some advice….

My advice would be to talk to everyone….talk to your family, friends and co-workers. Then ask your family, friends and co-workers to talk to their family, friends and co-workers….you get the idea. I found my surgeon by word of mouth. I asked everyone I know if they had Lasiks (or knew anyone who had Lasiks), and what doctor they went to. Almost everyone I talked to in my area went to the surgeon I ended up going to, and everyone was perfectly satisfied. I went into the procedure very confident!

Just one other thing….I went to a doctor who used computerized, laser equipment. No knives were involved. But, it cost me a pretty penny. I paid $ 5500 for both eyes, but I was not comfortable going to a doctor that advertised in the newspaper for $ 500 per eye.

Answer by JessieeIt depends on how long ago you had lasik, if it was recently, I don’t recommend doing inversion therapy. It is best to just try to relax where you are and not disturb the eye’s healing process. But, generally inversion therapy will not damage or affect your eye.

With the Baby Boomer generation now reaching their retirement years, the number of Americans who need some sort of corrective lenses may be even higher than the earlier estimated one in two who will require them at some time during adulthood.

As a result, any medical procedures which can enhance defective vision are receiving considerable attention, and at the head of the pack is LASIK. LASIK has nothing to do with high blood pressure, and is actually the acronym for Laser-Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis. Now you know, but you don’t know much.

LASIK surgery is designed to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It may also help with a number of less common optical defects, which can remain hidden for years without affecting a person, and require a professional optical exam to discover them.

How LASIK Procedures Work

While LASIK surgery is not cheap, it is usually amazingly fast. It requires the eye surgeon to cut a flap in the first or first two, layers of the cornea, lift the flap, and expose all the tiny tissue irregularities that accumulate over time within or beneath the cornea. These bumps, fissures, and wrinkles will hinder the proper refraction of light entering the cornea, and poor vision is the result.

If the accumulated tissue forces the cornea into a steeper than normal angle, shortsightedness ensues. . . . → Read More: An Introduction To Lasik]]> Article by Wade Robins

These bumps, fissures, and wrinkles will hinder the proper refraction of light entering the cornea, and poor vision is the result.

If the accumulated tissue forces the cornea into a steeper than normal angle, shortsightedness ensues. If the cornea is too flat, farsightedness ensues. And if the excess tissue is just clogging thing up without reshaping the cornea, astigmatism, accompanied by halos, starbursts, ghost images, and poor night vision, ensues. Depending on the condition being treated, the eye surgeon will either reshape the cornea, or clean it out.

The obvious benefit to having LASIK surgery is that your sight will be so improved that you can give up your eyeglasses or contacts. And the entire procedure, amazingly, normally takes less than sixty seconds, one little minute, per eye.

The Cost Of LASIK Procedures

All that magic, of course, has its price. As the technology of the lasers involved in LASIK surgery advances, so does their price, and so does the amount you’ll pay for a LASIK procedure. In parts of the US, LASIK surgery can be as much as a thousand dollars per eye. But if there is an older procedure which will work for you, and you’re not someone who feels comfortable only with state-of-the-art technology, you can have LASIK surgery at a much reduced price.

You should also educate yourself on the side effects which sometimes come with LASIK surgery; they range from dry eye and inflammation to infection, oozing, and even a reappearance of the original defect. But the incidences of all LASIK surgery side effects have decreased greatly over the past decade, as LASIK surgeons gain experience in the workings of the human optical system. For more info see http://www.2020lasikeyesurgery.com/Articles/Lasik_Eye_Surgery_Risks.php on Lasik Eye Surgery Risks.

Finally, you’ll need to determine if you are a suitable candidate for LASIK surgery. Anyone under eighteen is not, because the human eye continues to change its shape for at least eighteen years. Expectant mothers also may experience pregnancy-related vision problems which correct themselves after delivery. The only way to determine if you qualify for LASIK surgery is to consult with your ophthalmologist.
