LASIK Eye Surgery and than Hi guys,
My eye vision is 2.25 L and
2.00R. I would like to do this
Lasik eye Surgery so than I
can see everything without
needing a specs. My question
is, is this possible to do and
can I still become a Pilot or
will I have problems later in
Life ?

YES DON'T DO LASIK!!!!! You will ruin your military flying career!! PRK is the only authorized corrective surgery for pilots. I am going to flight school myself and have researched like crazy! Current prices are around $3500 for both eyes. The military also requires one year healing time after surgery; so plan accordingly! Good Luck! |

What is the best lasik eye When it comes to things like
this I am pretty ignorant. I
hear that there are two new
methods out there for lasik
eye surgery. Can I please get
some feedback in regards to
which procedure is the best
and why! Thanks!

There are many different kinds of LASIK. It really depends on your preference. The normal LASIK uses a blade to cut a "flap" in your cornea where another LASIK procedure is done by laser to cut the "flap". There is also laser procedures that can be done if your cornea is not thick enough to have LASIK and that is called PRK and still people may not be able to have this. The best thing to do is to schedule a free consultation with an eye doctor that does Laser Surgeries and find out if you are a candidate for them. Many people find out they aren't candidates for any laser surgeries anyways. Hope this helps!! |

How old should you be to get I am 20 years old. I've had
glasses since i was about 16
or 17. I am seriously looking
into Lasik eye surgery because
i hate wearing my glasses ( i
am near sighted)
Recently it seems as though my
eyes have gotten worse. My
glasses work fine when i have
them on, but i've been
noticing that when i dont wear
them, its getting harder &
harder to see things i once
could.
Question is, how old are you
supposed to be to get this
done? If i get it done now,
and say a year or two down the
road it starts getting worse
again do they do 'free touch
ups?'
Also, if anyone knows, how
does sitting in front of a
computer affect your eyes? I'm
a writer, so i spend plenty of
time in front of the screen.
Thanks!
Also, how do i find a Lasik
eye specialist near me..and
how do i know they are legit &
safe?

well i will tell you that my wife had this done last year. she was 20 years old. i have also had this done(i was 23). we see great and have for the last year even while out in iraq. we are both military and had it done for free. what im really posting about is to tell you the you should look more into P.R.K. than lasik. its was safer, less time, and less problems down the road. as far as where to get it done just start calling around. |

How long does it take to see When you go into surgery for
lasik eye, how long does it
take to see after words with
out being blurry? Hours, Days?

for most people...instantly. as soon as you sit up from the table |

When will Medicaid and I'm tired of hearing that they
won't cover Lasik eye surgery
my vision is 20/100 and now
when I lose my glasses I have
to wait a long time before
they replace it and they
replace it only every 2 years.
Why won't Medi-cal and
Medicare cover lasik eye
surgery?

In my observation, I have noticed that the government is at least ten years behind medical "trends", for lack of a better word. I don't expect those two agencies to cover such a breakthrough any time soon. |
