Eye Laser Surgery, Lasek, Lasik, waves etc can anyone advise me please as this is huge decision for me ?

Question:

Hi I had a bad experience 3 years ago NOTHING to do with eye laser so please everyone dont get alarmed the thing is I DID have this awful experience even though I did massive research and saw several consultants and thought I'd chosen the best but I didn't. Now thats all in the past now but the question is I would love to have eye laser done and I simply cannot make up my mind who what where?so the point is even though I have read testimonials from people who have used X Y and Z I would love a recommendation and when I have had mine succesfully done (optimist) I would definately help people who asked me. I have read surgeons profiles and how many ops they have done but I am sqeamish and eyes are precious ~I dont want to make a mistake. please ~ please can anyone tell me a great put-u-at-ease surgeon who has done thousands and where they are? I would rather travel and find someone good than have done closer to home and make bad decision based on distance. any advise appreciated. demi

I had laser eye surgery done last October and have never looked back - my surgery took place through Optical Express in London. I have Lasik surgery and everything went fine.
The other important thing is that I have wavefront surgery as my pupil's are slightly larger than average. This meant that the surgery was only only specific to my vision, but also to my eye size. The advantage of having this surgery is it does reduce the risk of night blindness - although does cost more.
To be totally honest the actual surgery was a bit of a whirl wind - it was over in less than 15 mins. The key worry I had was focusing on the light. I knew that if I didn't then I may cause it to go wrong, but everything was fine.
For the following couple of hours when the anaesthetic started to wear off my eyes were uncomfortable, I slept for about 4 hours and when I woke, my eyesight was great and the pain was much reduced - the following morning my eyesight was tested and it was practically 20/20.
p.s. Make sure you get a decent pair of sunglasses. My eyes were very sensitive to light for a few days and these really saved addition pain.

Good luck

my son got his Lasik surgery over 2 years ago.. and loves it
he had worn glasses since age 9
now? 20/20 vision

laser eye Surgery is very safe nowadays. It is very cheap in India. There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges Eye surgery for foreigners in India. They are called the Forerunners Healthcare. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.

I have also read that they arrange financing for American and Canadian patients, as dental surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. The cost savings are incredible. As a doctor I personally believe that your surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

My cousin got her Dental and Lasik Surgery in India through the forerunners healthcare .She is more than very happy with the results. She just paid 25% of the amount she was quoted in USA and is all praise for this forerunners healthcare company. Hope this helps
