I've never done it but I'd love to be able to shoot lasers out of my eyes
I know a few people who have had it and it has been a success.
However there is always that risk of vision problems, and obviously the most extreme case is loss of vision. Apparently there is only a less than 5% chance of that happening though, but is that still worth the risk?
Oh and like any type of procedure like this, make sure you pick a reputable company.
My missus had laser eye surgery 10 years ago buy now her eyesight is slowly getting back to square one.
One of my colleague's got laser eye surgery done, she said she wouldn't recommend it. More trouble then it's worth, eyes constantly trying out and pretty much always has to use eye drops. I only recently started to wear glasses, but I mostly stick to wearing contact lenses.
Do it in Pakistan, you will save a fortune.
Not sure about your eyes though.

It's likely less than 1%, or it wouldn't be allowed.
I've always needed glasses, don't bother with the mt though.
I know one of my exes had bad vision and always had to wear a pair, then she had surgery and still needed glasses. I think it depends how bad your eyes are?

Not according to the NHS
My old man got it done in India over 10 years ago now. Saved a fortune and never had a problem since. His vision has weakened obviously since then but it has been a massive success.
Do any of you guys know where your friends/exes got their surgery done? As Braveheart says, getting them done from a reputable company is key.
Most of these have free consultations anyway, just wanted to know if people have any real life experiences.

Strange. I've certainly never met anybody blinded, or even damaged by the process.

That place is in Leeds, and you're in Nottingham I believe, so not a million miles away.
My mate needed it for getting into the police. Worked a treat. My old office manager got it, said it changed his life.
The artist Tracy Emin got it and it wrecked her eyes.
There is a bit of me thinks, unless you really need it the longer you delay getting it done, the better the technology for performing the procedure becomes. I'd be googling the clinic and finding out which model of laser surger equipment they have etc. You want some old legacy machine doing it.
It's better to get it if you're young, then you've got a long time still before your eyes deteriorate more naturally through age.

5% is still very, very low so that's not really surprising, I think complete vision loss is probably less than 1%. The complication that seems to be the most common is 'dry eye' and like somebody said on here, the constant need for eye drops.

Probably the best age then in terms of value for money. How bad is your prescription?, I've thought about laser but not sure if my eyes are bad enough to risk it and have the side effects.

Not sure about the numbers, but I'm short sighted. Can't see things in detail if they're a few metres away. The prescription got stronger throughout my teens, but it's plateaued now, haven't needed new lenses for a while.
The old man had it done and said its great.
Could smell it while happening though he said
