I know this is an old thread but I didn't want to start a new one and then have everyone scream at me. I am getting LASIK on Monday morning and wanted to know if anyone on GC has had it.
I read this thread which is very anti-lasik, but I've been legally blind in one eye my whole life and the doctor I am going to (Dr. Maloney) was one of the first doctors authorized to perform this surgery in the US and is considered one of the best in the world. I have a congenital eye disease and have always dreamed of being able to see. The doctors at the Jule Stien Eye Institute at UCLA have been trying to convince me to get surgery for many years, it is only in the past two years that I have felt safe getting my eyes fixed.
I have heard from a lot of people that their eyes are kind of dry for the first few days and that they are light sensitive, or have a flap problem, but I am totally ready to do this b/c I can't wear contacts and my glasses are such a burden.
Anyone have any POSTIVE advise? What to do before/after, etc?
By the way, for those of you who have large pupils, there are special lasers now for people with large pupils. I have two friends who were not considered good candidates a couple of years ago who have now had the surgery and have 20/15 vision.
