How Does Laser Eye Surgery Actually Work

- Ever considered getting laser eye surgery, but didn’t know how it worked? Allow us to help!
There are three different main types of laser eye surgery: LASIK, SMILE, and Surface Laser Treatments, and each can be explained pretty easily.
LASIK uses two lasers to open up a thin flap on the surface of the cornea, and then reshapes the cornea underneath. The flap is then placed back over the reshaped cornea, and heals independently with time.
SMILE uses one laser to reshape the cornea through a small, self-healing hole.
And Surface Eye Treatments remove the clear skin over the eye, to then reshape the cornea underneath with - you guessed it - a laser!
Me seeing the flap not getting put back gage off “ay they still got the stick in there” energy

I've gone through LASIK twice. The first time, it didn't result in a perfect result and I needed a touch up. Problem is, you need to wait 6 months in between for your eyes to heal. So I had blurry vision for 6 months. Fun time. That said, I would do it again. Cost me CA$3500 for both eyes and a lifetime "warranty" as long as I pay them $90 every two years or so for an eye exam.
Probably the scariest experience in my life and was quite traumatizing. I was shaking like a leaf both times afterward. It's scary to see that green laser just... in front of your eyes, then all goes black for a bit... and it smells like burnt hair (I'm told this was the air burning up and not the eye being burnt up to reshape it? I dunno)
But now you have perfect eye vision?
Hairs literally standing up on my body from reading that.
Cannot imagine having my eyes open infront of a laser and then everything going dark :O
@@fxburs4664 i guess he gets xray vision now.
@@nivity it's not that bad! It's about 10 seconds of it being blury nothing crazy. Then the lasers just look like a light show in your eyes it's almost like a colidaecope? Idk I couldn't see 5ft in front of me... now I have 2020 vision!
Total surgery: 15 min. Most of which is them moving things lol
Does it hurt?
This video just encouraged me to continue wearing glasses
💀
Same
Bro 0% pain I done my surgery today I suggest you also
@@brunothelabrador4970Does the eye heal completely ? I wear -4.5D glasses 😢
@@brunothelabrador4970how can you still see?
I had Lasik surgery last thursday.
I was so scared, yet the results are amazing! Thanks for making this video!
Hows everything now?
Any side effects??
Update:
The surgery I did was to cut open the upper layer of the eyeball, doing laser stuff and closing it back.
5 minutes after the surgery I went outside the clinic with some blurry vision due to the eye drops the doctor put pre surgery (took about 20 min?)
I immediatly saw incredibly better! it was shocking.
Had to use 3 kinds of eye drops for 2 months or so, but it was ok.
2.5 year after the surgery (Today):
1. I see good as always
2. No itching
3. No dried eyeballs
Conclusion:
Its a scary surgery, but highly safe.
Also, its the best thing I ever done to myself and it is worth the price and I highly reccomand people doing it (In an expert licensed clinic ofcourse!)
Thanks for the update
I had PRK done in July after wearing glasses for 27 years and it's the best decision I've ever made. If anyone's considering getting it or LASIK I strongly recommend it!
How is ur vision now? I’m thinking about it but kinda scared
What’s better, PRK or LASIK?
My friend had PRK and the doctors in Saudi preferred it over lasik because it’s safer. According to her, She is blind for 3 days and blurry vision for 3 months and still the best decision she made..
My eye Dr. for 21 years don’t recommend lasik and prefer SMILE. He mentioned that some lasik aren’t as successful and needed redone ..
Did you completely stop wearing glasses or did your vision just get a bit better
LASIK could turn into the worst decision you could have ever made, PRK is a lot safer and is definitely the better option. While LASIK may heal faster and hurt less, it may cause permanent eye damage, permanent dry eyes or just blindness. While PRK is also not perfect and may cause the complications I already listed, there's a much lower chance. LASIK may also need to be redone, not PRK.
Thanks for explaining all that in literally 30 seconds! Although I'm still a teen it's great to know how it works since I know a few people that have gotten laser eye surgery before! :D
i would prefer to see explanation that lasts at least 30 minutes but only the most important parts.
@@cubertmiso it wouldn't be 30 minutes then
Laser eye surgery has a chance to leave someone with permanent dry eye, and they don’t count these people as bad outcomes. Having to put drops in their eyes multiple times per day
@@trollrat2828 some people exp it for years, also they get halo too
but the chances is tiny
sounds worth it tbh
I've had it and have dry eyes, but it's fine. Yeah, use some drops. Still 100X more convenient than glasses or contacts.
@@Name-yv2zq depends.
This is 2021, laser eye surgery has come a long way. But every person I know who got laser eye surgery 10 or more years ago has dry eyes now. Literally every single person... some of them didn't get it for years too.
I'd get lasik now, in fact I'm planning on doing it soon. But I get why some people are cautious. It's not an exact science
I don't get dry eyes and this is after 2 lasik's. I am 100% happy with the surgery :D
had it done a month ago, got 20/10 vision now, worth every penny
What was your vision before , and how is your vision now?
@@rhqqn446fjnnbbc he just told you 20/10 vision so better than the average vision
I did LASIK a year ago. Best choice of my life.
The idea of this scares me for some reason. Can they just knock me unconscious?
Idk they probably need you to be awake so your eyes are directly looking at the laser
I'm pretty sure they numb your eyes so they don't close during the procedure
Well, here is my story - I have both the dry eyes and halos. Halos at night have from the start been bad, but 10 years on - they are debilitating. I can barely drive. I have to use glasses again to make the image sharper, but halos can’t be fixed with glasses. Even daytime the vision is at 80-90% and i had 20/20 directly after surgery. I always had really large eye pupils, an apparently if you have that you are in the risk category to get severe halo side-effects. I wish someone told me that when I was going through the operation. And fun fact, I’m suppose to get my pilot’s license in the next 2 years, i’m pretty concerned i will never be able to do that now. Makes me think I should have stuck to glasses from the beginning as now fixing this seems impossible.
Just in case people don’t know what halos are, imagine a tiny LED light, like the on light in your pc for example. Well, after the operation my eye sees it as massive beams of light blasting out of the light source. It is 3-5 times larger that it is. Now imagine all of the artificial light sources become several time larger than they are at night. Oncoming traffic lights are so big that I can’t even see my own lanes in front of me and they are covered by the light. On top of that as my eye is trying to adjust the focus all of these light sources also move and fluctuate as The eye it trying to focus. My whole vision is like a kaleidoscope. Even the text on my phone right now has is smudged and layered.
being that it has now been a year since you posted this, have the halos gotten any better or are you still having problems?
Yes, halos occur dur to the diffraction or bending of light as it enters the lens of your eye. If you've ever looked at the sun, while squinting your eyes to the point where they are almost closed. You begin to see flares of light that extend toward your eyes. Now imagine that at all times, while your eyes are fully open and you might think twice about getting laser eye surgery.
I'm getting SMILE eye surgery done in a month and of course this shows up on my feed😂. Super excited!
Do share your experience man 😀, take care
U good
@@goyardbelts4695 yeah went perfectly. Didn't even get red eyes afterwards
@@Davi_L how is your sight now a year later, any complications?
Can u share it with us after one year now ? Please
I had a laser eye surgery, but it was for the muscles in the back of my eye. Had it 4 times on both eyes. Its a lot scary I am told than lasik.
I had ilasik and got a terrible inflammation. I got put on steroid drops many times a day and saw him every day for weeks. Then the extreme dryness set in which lasted for a few months. Years later, I am overall glad i had it done.
I had SMILE done in May 2022 and it was the best investment in myself ever. I've worn glasses for over 20 years so this was like a 2nd birthday for me lol. I had dry eyes for 1 week then eventually reached a perfect 20/20. The quality of my daily life has been substantially better. I used to wear contacts for several years too. Imagine contacts but never having to fumble around with them again! Sometimes I still get moments when I think I'm wearing my glasses, I try to take them off to shower and forget I have perfect vision now lol!
Did it hurt? How long did it heal?
no pain. about 3 weeks to heal @@AfiOyeTheNurse
Idc how bad my eyesight is, ever since I saw that Lasik eye surgery scene in Final Destination…I’m sticking to glasses lol
The technology has multiple fail safes to prevent that from happening so it’s impossible for that to happen. I had LASIK last week, a great decision imo.
@@xAliRazahow much did it cost? How’s your eye healing? Is your vision still blurry? How often do you need to get it done or is it permanent? Is there an age limit like the elderly or something ?
Guess you shouldn't cross the road, ride elevators, or swim at the beach either.
Sent shivers down my spine
Bodys aching all the time
Goodbye everybody I've got to go
Got to leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, oooh, I don't wanna die
Sometimes I wish I'd never been born at all
Not me watching this few hours before my surgery
How did it go
Are u feeling well
@@lanaVardmanidze yeah it went pretty well, my eyes are in healing process
@@jesssam7384 just got it today it is awesome
How are you now? Dry eyes at all or no?
@@GreenTornadoXwhich every surgery you do u will get dry eyes problem but I recommend doing silk which is latest technology and also dry eye problem vanish in silk after 1/2-1 month
I really don’t like the fact that for this surgery I’m actually able to see it happen with my very eyes
One of the worst ones is a root canal too. Your laying down for like an hour drowning in your own spit till they finally fix that dam tooth
I've seen how it works in a final destination movie. No thanks lol
Thing is. You're awake for it, having to try to keep eyes open 😂
I just remembered final destination 😌😌
🤓
Yeah that stuff got me scared doing this.
love it!!! others could make a 30 minutes BLA BLA video. THANKS!
*Final destination exists*
Me: Nop, bye
There's another type of eye treatment that is in study right now, its name is LIRIC
Shiver me timbers!
I fully expected SMILE to turn your eyes into a mouth lol.
No, it's an acronym for Small Incision Lenticule Extraction.
@@thegoodlydragon7452 where'd the M go, vacation?
I'd like to, but i can't even get eyedrops in without a struggle, my eyes just refuse to let it happen
Slicing up your corneas and beaming your orbs with lasers...no thanks😂😂
Ahhhh this is too scary even to watch on UA-cam... :(
Wow! That made my eyes water!
I am considering getting an eye surgery but final destination is giving me nightmares
PRK, worth it. May have dry eyes once in a while but it's worth not needing glasses or contacts
Glasses seem ok now
Fr 😂
My dad got last eye surgery he doesn’t need glasses now
Laser eyes? Like heat vision? That sounds cool!
The most information I want from all of those surgery is which one hurts the least
That was a real eye opening video
I wish can have lazer surgeon my eyes is almost blind now.
Well usually a trained Jedi is involved and you have a 50/50 chance of getting impaled if they try to use the force...
Very interesting video. Always wondered how it worked.
you never fail to entertain us!!...
Yeah never doing it
Can't stop thinking about final destination
Ive got my eyes lasered (lasic) about 8 years ago. My sigth is still good. But you are awake and aware when the lasery starts. The operation it self takes about 30 seconds each eye. My cost was about 3200euro
You wanna know how it works? Look up deadspace eyeball cutscene.
🤣🤣
I am gonna get an eye surgery once I am 18! Thx for the information!
Nein. Your eyes grow until age 25 if I'm not mistaken. You can't get it earlier than that methinks.
@@news26boom you can easily get LASIK before you’re 25.
But you shouldn’t, because at that age your eyes are still changing.
Laser surgery isn’t a magical fix for bad eyes. It’s literally burning a permanent pair of glasses into your eyes that you can’t remove, ever
would be pretty bad if your values changed in 3 years and those glasses don’t fit anymore
So which one is supposed to be more safer and have better results?
Oh yeah. And all of them are apparently terrifying nightmare fuel.
I'll pass. Better off with glasses than blind.
Thought about it but then i see what happens when it goes wrong and decided the risk is too great.
But can u say which is the best?
This hurts me mentally and physically
Of course, myopia is preventable when at 20/50.
Hi! I wanna ask how's your eyes now?
So which one is best??
Hello brother
I really like your content
how safe is it ? because im far sided and scared to get lazser eye surgery
This question is for those who experience eye surgery: are you fully aware(awake) while their doing there thing
You are during cataract surgery
yeah ima just wear my glasses
Which one is the best?
I would love to get eye surgery I can’t see 2 feet in front of me without glasses
Sooo which one is better
Is it painful? During surgery?
Ok I hate eye stuff. I’m keeping my glasses!
And.... which one is good for what?
do these hurt?
What happens if patient moves her/his/other eye during surgery?
Oh nah im not using a phone anymore
Frick that
Just be glad they don’t use a very sharp scalpel, like they did originally.
Does it hurt
Is it safe? I’ve been thinking bout it but kinda scared
And what is about axial myopia?
I have -4,25 eye sight. But final destination traumatized me, so I'mma just stick to my glasses thx.
The same night that I had prk done my contact bandages both fell off and I was in so much pain they had to sedate me before attempting to put another bandage on
Does it hurts???
WHY CAN I FEEL IT??
my mom is forcing me to have it
OOoH wOOw corporate memphis art style with extra diversitys? How ORIGINAL
To anyone that had one of those sugeries, did it hurt?
so it doesn't hurts?
got one last week :p
Mom pick me up, i am scared.
Have you seen Final Destination
Well, I’m not doing that anymore
It is not always perfect, there was this news anchor who had it and she ended it having blurry vision, she ended herself after that.
An incredibly rare case.
I had it done and it was the best thing I ever did. Well worth the 4500! Also! No scares in my eyes.
Don't rub your eyes now kids, you won't know when something falls off
imagine watching this after watching final destination 5
After final destination 5, I still would never get eye surgery
Does it pains lot pls any one reply me
This is a decent video but if you want your eyes lasered you should watch more than this.
Use me like you would use dislike button
Stay away from my mouth with that thing
After watching this video, I still don't know the difference between the three.
how do they numb your eyes?
Drops
I’d like more side effects.
*the sun is a deadly laser*
I need you to tell me how and what the laxer does to fix it the eye
Apparently they remove a thin layer from the eye and the laser it carves your glasses prescription inside your eye to put it that way and puts the flap back on and it's heals itself after a year
WT it’s so short
