RE: Way OT - Anyone here had Lasik? How has it impacted your daily work (looking at screens, keyboards, etc)

2011-01-26 Thread Garcia-Moran, Carlos

I just got it done in December best money I've ever spent, after looking into 
prices and tech, I ended up going to Canada, it was $3500 minus $400 for being  
a US citizen, I got the Custom Wavefront bladeless which was the current best 
surgery and I can get it done a 2nd time if needed, The place I went LasikMD 
was recommended by two coworkers who had gotten it done there before. It 
guarantees 20/20 and the surgery I got covers all checkup's and 2nd surgery's 
if needed for life. Also I submitted to my bill for FSA reimbursement no 
problem since it's an approved expense even though it's outside of the country.

I actively Kick box 3 times a week and do some swimming. You can't have direct 
trauma to the eyes for 3 months, outside of some dryness on my left eye, I can 
read at night with no issues.

Not athletically active, but had mine done with assistance from my FSA account 
12 years ago. My eyesight beforehand was 20/400 in one eye, and 20/425 in the 
other. It cost $2k/eye. I gulped hard and did it.

Afterward, it was 20/20 both eyes.

I am so very glad I did it.

Of course, I instantly needed reading glasses, (I was over 40 at that
point) but being able to see the road signs while being driven home from the 
operation brought more tears to my eyes than could be accounted for by the 
operation.

I got it done on a Friday, and by Monday was good to go, and have always told 
folks who ask that I would do it again in a heartbeat.

I was a "practice" patient - the surgeon who performed it was at the time the 
president of the board of ophthalmology for WA STate, but was being proctored 
for this procedure by someone. He is/was an amazing doctor, who performed RK on 
my then-wife a few years earlier and worked a near miracle for her as well.

I say, ask a couple of ophthalmologists who don't perform this particular 
procedure who they would choose if they had to get it done, and see what they 
have to say.

RE: Way OT - Anyone here had Lasik? How has it impacted your daily work (looking at screens, keyboards, etc)

2011-01-25 Thread Jacob

Got it 10 years ago in my left eye. Right eye was 20/20.

Best $3000, yes $3000 for one eye back then, I ever spent. I have had zero
problems.  My wife has Lasik about three years ago and LED headlights are
sensitive to her eyes.

The worst part is the first few days after the surgery.

You might want to ask about increased chances of retina detachments as the 
result of lasik or lasek treatments...

Cataract replacement (I had no choice - each eye was seeing triple!) 
increases the risk.  I'd not wish what I was put though on ANYBODY!

Same here - 11 years ago and its so great not to need glasses. I actually just 
went in to get my eyes checked and the doctor prescribed reading glasses for 
close up for both eyes.  I did have them both done differently - one for 
distance and one to help avoid glasses for a while. But it was the greatest 
thing I could have done.

RE: Way OT - Anyone here had Lasik? How has it impacted your daily work (looking at screens, keyboards, etc)

2011-01-25 Thread Jamie Cullen

I agree, you should get this done if you are contemplating it and have bad 
vision. I got mine done about 8 years ago and also suffer from the nighttime 
starburst vision but it is worth it to see clearly any other time. I have no 
regrets and would do it again in a heartbeat. I have better than 20/20 in both 
eyes and had really bad vision before. It took about a day for my vision to 
clear and two weeks for my corneas to heal in which time you can't rub your 
eyes, and you have to be really careful in the shower. 

My husband got it done last year, the Lasek kind, and his recovery was a lot 
slower but the procedure is more in depth. His cornea's are thin so the doctor 
recommended the Lasek and it took him about 4 weeks to get to 20/20. He has no 
regrets either.

+1  Just over 5 years here.

The only downside is I am apparently one of the rare "nighttime starburst" 
sufferers. Doesn't make nighttime driving unbearable, but low-light conditions 
aren't as nice as they used to be. Spending endless hours in front of monitors 
- rock solid.

Sure is awesome to go swimming and see across the pool!

Went from 20-200+ to 20/20 and 20/30.  Knocked out 90% of my astigmatism, I 
wear glasses on rare occasion (couple times/mo maybe) to get the last piece of 
crispness.

have an astigmatism in my left eye). I've heard great stories, and I've read
about not so great experiences.

One of my co-workers had Lasik (by the same surgeon who would do my
procedure) 8 years ago and claims zero regrets and no long term ill effects.
I probably wouldn't do it, because for me it would be a luxury, but I'm
positioned to lose up to $2,600 that I have siting in a Flexible Spending
Account if it isn't used by March 31 of this year (I checked, and even
though the plan was for last 2010, my plan has a grace period that allows
for Date of Service until March 31, 2011). The surgeon I'm considering is
Karl Stonecipher, who claims having done well over 50,000 procedures.

So, any stories, good, bad, or otherwise are welcome. I'm particularly
interested in any stories for anyone who is athletically active.

My Lasik cost $1500 per eye and I did both with no issue. No direct water in 
the eye for a week but otherwise nothing special. I drove myself home from the 
Drs office.

I had Lasik, Note, there is a difference between Lasik and Lasek. You
should check your surgeon for an explanation. One heals faster than the
other and one is more involved than the other. Do not get both eyes done
at once! In spite of the propaganda. My results were mixed. The left eye
was perfect the first time from day one. My right eye had 4 (four)
retreatments and still is worse than it was when they started. Not by
much, but still worse. That being said, I would do it again in a
heartbeat. My right eye is an exception, and even then, it is not bad.

My experience was tempered as well by getting a deal. Doing it at a
teaching hospital saved me all except 300 dollars total, not per eye.
The is a savings of about $5600.00 at today's cost of $4000 per eye. The
doctors just do the exam and make the calculations. The laser technician
actually does the surgery. There is a bit of surgery done at the
beginning and at the end to roll the top skin layer off the cornea and
back on, but it is (as I understand it) minor. They put a soda straw
(OK, maybe not) with a rubber tip on the eye and drop Alcohol into it
for 30 seconds to separate the flap of skin. Then they cut around that
flap and roll it back. This exposes the cornea for the laser to do its'
work. Then the laser program that has been entered into the machine
shapes the cornea, the flap is rolled back and a clear contact lens is
put on to protect the flap while it attaches. I 1-6 days (lasek vs
lasik) the thing is pretty much done. With the easier of the two (forgot
which is which) you can see immediately. With the other, you will have a
blurred vision for a while, perhaps up to 2 weeks. And a gradual
improvement over the next 6 months. All is painless. Remember though
that you WILL need glasses. Not the big coke bottle ones like before,
but you will either get both eyes for distance, in which case you will
need reading glasses, or monovision (one distance, one near) in which
case you will want a pair to drive with at night, to even out the near
vision eye so you can see distance at night with lights glaring at you.

I am sure there has been Improvement in the last three years, which is
when I had mine done. Go for it. Can't miss, even when it does not fully
work.

2011-01-24 Thread David Lum

+1  Just over 5 years here.

The only downside is I am apparently one of the rare "nighttime starburst" 
sufferers. Doesn't make nighttime driving unbearable, but low-light conditions 
aren't as nice as they used to be. Spending endless hours in front of monitors 
- rock solid.

Sure is awesome to go swimming and see across the pool!

Went from 20-200+ to 20/20 and 20/30.  Knocked out 90% of my astigmatism, I 
wear glasses on rare occasion (couple times/mo maybe) to get the last piece of 
crispness.

I had the full-laser Lasik 2 years ago for the same reason
(miscalculated my FSA).  Have not regretted it one bit.  

I play soccer on a regular basis (goal keeper) so I had to sit out for a
few weeks to be sure I didn't do any damage while healing, but otherwise
I could not be happier.  

Your Dr. will advise you on the proper amount of time to sit out
depending on your sport of choice.  All I can say is - follow his/her
advice.

I went from 20/200 to 20/20 in my right eye and 20/80 to 20/10 in my
left.

RE: Way OT - Anyone here had Lasik? How has it impacted your daily work (looking at screens, keyboards, etc)

2011-01-24 Thread John Cook

Had mine done 5 1/2 years ago, no regrets and it has made life so much 
easier. I did lose some of my really up close vision but still don't need 
reading glasses although they help with really close up work(fast approaching 
50 so that's par for the course). Best money I ever spent.

RE: Way OT - Anyone here had Lasik? How has it impacted your daily work (looking at screens, keyboards, etc)

2011-01-24 Thread Guyer, Don

I went for an initial consultation and the idea of having to go back
every so often for possible "adjustments" (along with the associated
cost) was a huge turn-off for me. That was a few years ago, so that may
have changed.

FYI, $2,600 can be blown through in a snap. Remember, you can still buy
all the over the counter crap under last year's FSA rules that you can't
this year. If you have a family, that will be easy. I went through the
same thing to the tune of around $1,500 end of 2009 like it was water.
Eyeglasses, contacts, contact supplies, first aid, cold/flu supplies, so
on and so forth.

Good luck either way!

RE: Way OT - Anyone here had Lasik? How has it impacted your daily work (looking at screens, keyboards, etc)

2011-01-24 Thread Jim Holmgren

I had the full-laser Lasik 2 years ago for the same reason
(miscalculated my FSA).  Have not regretted it one bit.  

I play soccer on a regular basis (goal keeper) so I had to sit out for a
few weeks to be sure I didn't do any damage while healing, but otherwise
I could not be happier.  

Your Dr. will advise you on the proper amount of time to sit out
depending on your sport of choice.  All I can say is - follow his/her
advice.

I went from 20/200 to 20/20 in my right eye and 20/80 to 20/10 in my
left.
