I have done lasik and I do not have any problems as well as any of my friends and family that have it done. We all went to Kleiman Evangelista, you can visit there site at www.lasiksurgery.com. He has been in business since 1983 and does a great job on all his lasik surgeries. He now offers an even safer version on lasik called blade free HD lasik. I would defineitly go back to him all over again.

I love it and I just got it done yesterday....

Naysaying Lasik surgery is the same as naysaying having an appendectomy. About the same ratio of people have trouble. In spite of what shroomwoman has to say, if you go *outside* her circle of friends you find that about one in a hundred people have dry eye syndrome. As for re-doing the procedure, or touching up, that's a recognized part of the procedure - not a 'problem.' And as for halos around lights - glasses (which I've worn for 35 years) create all sorts of double-images, glints and false reflections ... not to mention dust and dirt, getting loose with time, falling off and getting broken, etc. I don't mind sensible conservatism about having a medical procedure done, but we should stick to the facts. Compared to other procedures out there in the word Lasik is safe, reliable, and produces a result that most of *my* long-time glasses-wearing friends call things like incredible and miraculous.

I know many people have excellent results with Lasik surgery, but I'd never do it myself due to the nature of the risks. I probably know 10 people who've had it done, and four of them have had what I consider big problems. One of them experienced a malfunction of the machine during surgery, and she had to let her eye heal for a couple of months before she went back to have it done again. A neighbor of mine experienced an inability to see up close after the procedure was done, and two friends had to have the procedure redone- one whose correction wasn't strong enough to begin with and another who lost the correction over time. I've read about people who ended up with dry-eye syndrome and seeing permanent halos around lights. If I couldn't improve my vision any other way, I'd probably be willing to try it. But with glasses and contacts, I'd never take the chance.
