Have you had it and when? Would you do it again? What have been the side-effects for you if any?Did it fully correct your problem? Has your vision deteriorated since?

I haven't but I'm posting so that ur thread will get bumped to the front page. I'm also interested in this because I would like to get laser eye surgery one day.

Bonus question: Does anybody know if laser eye surgery corrects the vision of a lazy eye?

Thanks. :)
To clarify your Bonus question: Do you mean correct the lazy eye's vision after it is no longer lazy or do you mean correcting the laziness itself? The use of an eye-patch should correct laziness, no?

Anyways, feel free to make this thread an eye-health thread. :)

I'm really squeamish about eye (and testicle) related trauma and problems, but I might need to get this treatment.

Yeh I would also like to see some answers, I'm definitely getting it within the next couple years, I think it's recommened for you to be 21 when you get it, so I'll probably get it then

i didn't my mom did though.

yes its correct your vision long distance.

but again with the age, you will have the opposite problem (short distance, reading small things).

So you'll still need reading glasses when you are 50ish, or will it speed up when you will need reading glasses?

When did she have it and (as far as you know) can she still see long distance well without glasses?

I mean correct the lazy eye's vision. The eye lid which is what is 'lazy' is still the same and I have no concerns/desire to try to get the eye lid fixed, just the vision. An eye patch supposedly does correct the laziness (and supposedly the vision too) but I had to wear the eye patch for like 3 years, AKA be close to being blind (like many others, can't see out my lazy eye) and im like WHOAAA oh HEELLL NAW!

I'm 20 and my vision has been horrible since I was 7. I don't think my vision will be getting much worse...I haven't needed a stronger prescription for the past 2 years, but if laser surgery becomes cheap enough in the next 5 years, I might take advantage of it. I don't like being reliant on contacts and glasses, and the cost of surgery shouldn't be much more than the cost of contacts and glasses over my lifetime.

My cousin got laser surgery when she was about 21 I think.  She was out of it for a day or two, and for a month her eyes were sensitive, she wore sunglasses.  Her vision is perfect now, I haven't asked her recently how sensitive her eyes feel, it's been like 4-5 years since that though.

she had it around she was 35, now 48.

like 3 years ago she is having problems reading small things, she can long distance without glasses but she can't read really smart things without focus but thats due the age.

in 5 years drs, are preparing a new kind of lenses that will help correct both problems... so i read recently.

Damn, at 21?  I can get it pretty cheap through my school insurance, so I kinda want to get it this year before I graduate, but I heard it's risky to get it in your 20's and you should wait until you're at least 35 or so.

Everything's been great for 4-5 years so far?
