Default LASIK Surgery

I thinking of saving money to do LASIK. Anyone done it before?

My degrees is 550 for both eyes. Anyone know roughly how much it wil cost? And can share your experience or anyone you know who have done lasik before?

Thanks so much.

I had friends who went for lasik.Not very sure of price but they said after surgery their eyes were very sandy and they felt uncomfortable. ~_~
They're still in the process of recovering,so never went to disturb them.

i went before... hehehe... june 2007.... i paid about $3k for both eyes... the place is at orchard paragon... the LASIK surgery clinic....

well, it's actually not painful, but the process can be rather irritating and uncomfortable.

your eyes are designed to blink, so for the 5-10 mins (both eyese) or so, you can only blink with one eye, coz the other eye (the operating eye) will be 'clamped' so you're forced to be disabled from blinking.

you wouldn't feel the pain when the laser is in operation, but you might feel uncomfortable when they're placing the clamps on your eye... imagine a 'claw-like-apparatus' is used to open up your eyes? hahahaa.... well, right after the ops, your eyes will be blood-shot red.

you dun have to worry too much, coz not everyone is suitable for lasik. they will do a pre-examination for you to determine the suitability. if you're not suitable, they will reject you. so it's actually quite safe.

hahaha.... yeah... can be quite scary... esp when you're like wide awake, and LOOKING at the surgeon operating ON YOUR EYES.... hahaha... but seriously, no pain one... only uncomfortable and irritating nia. and its only for like... 5 mins... so just endure lor. most importantly, RELAX....... just relax....

of coz the result is good! hahaha... u dun spend $3k for a lousy result lor... now i have 6/6 vision (perfect eyesight), and completely independent on glasses or contacts.

wow perfect eyesight!! great! btw why did you choose orchard ner? better than eye centre?

And what was your degrees before you op ner? is 550 considered moderate or high degree?

btw can imagine the uncomfort when eyes being clamped lol..
