- Contact us to find out more www.londonvisionclinic.com/con... Mr Carp explains the risks involved in losing sight as being extremely rare. Only 1 in 5 million may lose sight in one eye.
And now you are like: what if i am that 1 in 5 milliom
Ya man peoples luck work when they dont want them
There’s a very common fate that is so bad it has caused suicides. the chronic pain, discomfort and poor vision. 20/20 means nothing when you see double or have poor contrast.
DONT GET LASIK. Dry eyes is a big problem. Glasses can be annoying, but dry eyes are worse
Dave Bronstein “should”
@Dave Bronstein they don't. but be my guest, get chronic dry eyes and let us know if you find the magical permanent solution
No, there are not effective treatments for everyone. Dry eye can can become so severe that you are unable to work, and can't keep your eyes open due to severe eye pain. The cornea is the most pain-sensitive part of the human body, so when things aren't right and they can't fix it, the pain can be through the roof.
You can just get PRK
Thanks. Was about to get it
There are "cases where people have lost extensive vision"? Come on... don't try to sugarcoat it. There are cases where people have flat out lost EYES due to this surgery, so they lost 100% of their vision. Others go on to become legally blind from ectasia years after surgery (a known complication of LASIK that can take years to show up). I agree this is uncommon, but don't pretend as if you can't actually lose your vision completely.
Then you go on to acknowledge that yeah, technically it's possible, but you compare it the risk of being hit by lightening. Well guess what - we all take measures to avoid being hit by lightening, such as not hanging out under tall trees in the middle of a meadow during a thunder storm, even though we know the risk is low. So why on earth wouldn't we want to also avoid the risk of losing our sight to an unnecessary surgery if we can just wear glasses (which have zero chance of blinding us).
Or do you tell your kids to play under tall trees during lightening storms because the risk is very low? I think not.
Lastly, have you ever seen a well-designed study with 5 MILLION people in it who had lasik where they analyzed who lost sight and who didn't? No such study exists so you're pulling your 1-in-5-million number out of thin air. If I'm mistaken, please do share a link to the study from which you found this statistic.
That's exactly what they do with all drugs and surgeries. Pluck a number completely out of thin air, such as 1 in a million, 1 in 5 million, etc. If you're lucky they'll grease some organization to do a study with 300 people and call it evidence. Then they'll get a doctor who gets kickbacks to peer review the article. They know they cannot get away with saying it NEVER happens, because of the universal axiom all medicine has some risk, but they downplay the risk to such an extent that nobody thinks it can ever happen to them. Until it does. From there, they promptly deny and gaslight the patient, falling back on their estimates they used to sell the medication to suggest they're unlikely to be the 1 in 5 million, and misdiagnose the patient as having "anxiety" or an obscure autoimmune disease that came on coincidentally the same week or month as the procedure. Vasectomies are marketed as 1 in 1,000 have a reaction, when it's actually 1 in 50. Fluoroquinolone antibiotics are marketed as 1 in 10,000 to have a tendon rupture, when an adverse reaction affecting the muscoloskeletal system is between 2-5%. This is at the core of their business model. Selling used cars, only much worse because it's our one and only body.
The issue here is that you're acting as though it is being denied or that they don't risk a massive lawsuit by lying about statistics, not to mention the life altering inplications of vision loss. If you do your research and find a reputable practising laser eye surgeon under a providing company, your agonising over infantismal data will be eased as they are obligated to show their data at your leisure before going ahead - and you're more than welcome to inquire across a plethora of providers. There's a huge overlap in the tech used and the respective success rates, and you can compile that to get perspective on the extreme rarity of any issues that may occur post-surgery if you do the math. Nothing is risk-free, of course, but by your logic, are you going to avoid getting into a car or crossing roads because of motor vehicle incidents? No. That is paranoia and insane!
@@insertnamehere8723 "Infantismal" is not a word. I assume you meant "Infinitesimal" as in very small risk. According to who, LASIK surgeons who make $5,000 in 15 minutes and HAVE to sell it as "safe and effective" lest scare off potential victims? The FDA has stated that 1 in 5 people will have a complication 6 months after LASIK. It's COMMON. It's not "paranoia." You're just a gaslighter. And destroying a perfectly healthy eye because you're too insecure or lazy to wear contacts and glasses all day now THAT'S insane.
@@insertnamehere8723getting into a car is a normal daily routine task that we have to do, raising you hand to alter your god damn cornea and risking going blind for no reason other than convenience is not.
@@xan8123 you're literally scared of nothing. Don't project your fears onto others and use already marginal, infantismal statistics as a conformation bias. I can and will speak from experience and call out your bullshit and can now enjoy better than 20/20 vision after my surgery. Grow up and grow some balls, dumbass.
Yeah I’ll stick to my 144p resolution eyes. I don’t need good eyes that badly
Who cares? Do what you want and wear glasses all you life then, I preffer surgery
@@munja5533just wait, because in the next 5 years you will find yourself wearing glasses again.
It comes at age, not at random.
Even if your chances of going blind are 1 in 5 million as he stated, then if YOU are that 1 out of the 5 million, it won't really matter to you. The risk here, even if low, in my opinion, is just not worth it. Just stick to glasses or contact lenses.
you are more likely to get hit by a car than going blind...
i also have cataracts.. so when i get older my vision will get foggy.. i NEED eye surgery not even glasses or contacts will help... so yes i will take the risk.
Guy Drori he said 1 in 5 million for 1 eye so at least you have the other
@@kennethtruong4860 what if your eyes are 2 in 10 million
@@xLiLtEmPeR have you done eye surgery
LASIK should be banned.
100%
Losing vision more and more each day after surgery it gets worse and more blurry 😵
are you ok now?
I'm fine thanks for asking, You have beautiful eyes.. did you do the surgery too?
@@mostafa_abbasi How do you see currently? Any problems?
Please reply thanks 😊
@@munja5533 it's much better now, but I get blurry vision when i have high blood pressure or a hot shower
i think its even rarer than 5million in Places that have highly trained ppl and new tech like USA this was 10years ago sooo
that's why kids we need to eat VEGGIES
plz give answer that can colorblindness occur after lesik surgery
Ujjwal Smith no.
Any eye problem can happen after lasik its risky
Guys here's what I learned online and what I think. If it's Super Cheap or Cheap aka 200-500 Dollars they are not fully trained, usually the most expennsive are the very good ones. Im young and I might not get lasik as just get Contact Lens lol, they made a new kind of contact lens that doesnt make u feel it and feels normal!!!
Nope. I know of a woman who went to the most expensive, most experienced surgeon in the city and ended up losing an eye due to complications of the surgery. This surgeon had people fly in from all around the world to have him do LASIK on them... he trained other surgeons how to do it, too. But even he wasn't immune to patients ending up losing an eye. The doctor's skills influence the result... but even if the surgery is performed perfectly, losing an eye is still a possibility.
@@SG12356 dude PRK has less complication but the problem is it takes around 1 month to recover and also pain a bit in that 1 week of the 1month
@@SG12356 what country was this in?
Yes, they can and have. Objectively and empirically. Doctors who deny this should disbarred from practicing and really be put in prison if they themselves have caused such an adverse reaction and are still selling it as safe and effective
Nobody is denying it. The key takeaway is covered regarding the probability by putting it into perspective. The procedure itself is a combination of highly advanced technology self calibrating up to 99% and skilled surgical professionals who have done this thousands of times. Providing you follow the after care advice, it's basically impossible for it to go wrong unless gross negligence is at place, which, while very unlikely, could possibly be a factor, but is unlikely according to the statistics and sucess rates - all of which are accessible to patients prior to the procedure. Given the volume of procedures and success rates, it's very unlikely a negligent and inept surgeon is kept on the payroll and would have been identified well before your procedure. You're also in contact with the surgeon for a curtousy call and to provide a Q&A for patients to build trust and confidence, as well as to ease patients by clarifying the process and to dispell any misconceptions that may have been in the patients mind. Needless to say, this wouldn't be performed if it was detrimental or has an unacceptable margin of error. Again, remember this is highly skilled, advanced tech by professionals who have spent years and undergone countless hours of training and studying yo perform.
This video made 10 years ago now HDV 2.0 is best surgery
When I was a baby I had laser eye surgery cause I was born premature I am 11 now and my eyesight is getting worse and worse what do I do please help me thank you :)
Shadow Va hows your eyes now
Happy 15th birthday. Ur probably blind though...
How are your eyes
You’re 16 now 😳
18 now, how is life
Just sick with glasses
Yes, you can.
Turns out I was the 1 in 5 million and I’m having my dog type this comment
Ok so let’s say for arguements sake that there is a one in five million chance of going blind? Why the hell are you performing these procedures? You are knowingly causing someone a lifetime of impaired vision. In reality the chances of developing any type of vision issues is much higher with at least 20 to 30% of people suffering debilating vision issues and/or severe eye pain. This isn’t even including all the conditions that you are predisposed to after getting the surgery. The surgery literally destroys the structure and integrity of the eye. It’s a horrible procedure that has caused so many people pain and suffering and many have taken there own lives because of it. It’s absolutely disgusting that these greedy eye surgeons ignore this and continue to perform these dangerous and completely unnecessary surgeries.
