Hey! Parker York Smith here talking about my LASIK surgery experience with Dr. Shamie in Los Angeles. It's one of the best decisions I've ever made and I really think hope that this sheds some light on what you can expect if you're curious about LASIK or laser eye surgery. Also answering some of your questions about the surgery so you can feel as confident as possible.

Congrats on your lasik. I got lasik back in 2001. I'll never forget waking up to 20/20.
Yes! It’s so good. Thank you!
Means it is permanent??
if it still working
@@riskylife2003 yes until and unless your actual eye power change LASIK is like making cornea lens in your eye
@@riskylife2003 eye vision gets worse as you age. Typically around 40 years old, the majority of people start using reading glasses for up close.
Damn.. my vision is -4.5 as well. Ever since 5 grade I had problems with my vision … I really want to get surgery as well.
Most people with good vision don’t realised this but it is truly a blessing to have perfect vision. They can see the beauty of the world without worrying about glasses or contact.
Damn man.. I’m so happy for you
Agreed
I am never forgetting the horrible pain in mornings when waking up with dry eyes every day even tho using drops by doctor.
I received my Lasik Surgery on May 5th, 2022 and I'm glad that I did it. I'm 53 years old and my eyes were at -8.00 on both eyes and with astigmatism in my left eye and without my contacts, I was at -10.00, but, I'm still recovering from the surgery and after another week, I will be at 20/20 again. I can't wait. It's recovering and healing very well.
Good luck with recovery! You’ll love it
Hi! how is it going? did you experience any complication?
How much was your eye procedure?
Hi, here for an update also. I'm -2.00 with astigmatism in my left eye and -1.50 in my right eye so I'm considering this. Please let me know how you are now.
My phone stopped working and I was thinking of buying a new one. Suddenly, the thought of getting LASIK eye surgery came into my mind. And now, I am saving up money for the Lasik eye surgery. May god bless me.
Super interesting. Thanks for sharing your experiences and answering all the questions. I’m glad you can see better now!
Appreciate that so much thanks!
Oh wow that’s amazing ! I’m a -4 I can understand how bad your vision was. I’m getting my lasik done Friday and you really helped me to be more ready :)
Good luck on your lasik!
So glad! Thanks for watching
results?
How did it go?
The best part is how it only takes 10 minutes! I'm a -5 on both eyes, and really want to get LASIK. I'm 19, and I've had poor vision since 4th grade
Yeah man you totally should
Help iam probably -270 bcoz i tried someones -270 glass and could see clearly
I had -200 1 year ago on both eyes and i still have -200 glass but i dont use it at all
ive read that you should wait til at least 22 because your eyes are dtill developing...do research to make sure whats best timing for you
yo did you ever wind up doing it?
I have -7.something in my left eye and -4.something and astigmatism in my right. I've been wearing glasses since 1st grade (so about 21 years). I tried contacts and couldn't stand them, they irritated my eyes so badly. I'm finally getting LASIK done next week, and I keep switching between excited and apprehensive!
You’re gonna love it, especially if you don’t wear contacts. Life changer
how did it go?
@@bilalhajji904 It was great! Definitely a bit uncomfortable during the process, and I didn't get to sleep soon enough (the burning is the worst!) But I could see pretty close to 20/20 the next day, and now I'm at least 20/20 in both eyes. My main worry was that I would have dry eyes forever, but a month later, and I almost never need the eye drops, although I still apply them at night just in case.
@@marieschneider13 nicfe to hear, might have to do it myself. thanks for the reply!
I really appreciate this video. I am scheduled to have my lasik done in just a couple weeks and I'm nervous and shit but this video made me feel a lot better.
Good! You’ll do great
Did you get it done?
@@trailzprecious9223 Yep! And I am sooo glad that I did! The first two days after were miserable but I know it was one of the best decisions I've ever made for myself.
@@GulfbeachMateowhy?? Did u feel pain after and how after consultation did you get surgery? I wanna get mine done asap my consultation is tomorrow
@@mssilvaa2 I has been over a year now since I have had my surgery and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself. There was just a bit of soreness. For 2 days after my surgery my eyes would not stop watering, AND I had to wear goggles even when sleeping which SUCKED. I also had to do the eye drops for weeks 2 times a day. STILL, it was all worth it.
Both my eyes are at -8 and been wearing glasses since 1st grade, now I'm 25 😬 I am really considering getting lasik but I've always been terrified of complications since my vision is super bad. Your video made me feel a little better about it though, thank you!
Good! I’m absolutely loving it
No! Look for the consequences
@@sore3447 ???
In case you're still trying to decide 6 months later... Consider listening to the voice in your head warning you about the complications. Ask yourself if the potential devastation of lifelong ocular pain and distorted vision outweighs the potential convenience of not having to wear glasses. Remember you can't reverse the procedure, whether the outcome is good or bad. It's great that most people have a positive result, but if you don't then you won't care how satisfied most people are. Good luck.
@@mrschneebly9691 See I am worried about the complications and have been pouring over data for weeks. But if I want to be a police officer I have to have 20/40 vision at minimum and I am sitting at 20/400. Its dream job I have wanted since I was 20 and now in my late 30s I feel the need to try.
Do I risk it for a shot at dream career? I honestly don't know yet...
But remember that for some people its not just the inconvenience as a life with glasses, well, really sucks.
I had my Lasik surgery done in Mahatten by Dr. Ken Moadel back in January 2021. One of the best decisions I've made in my life!! I ended up with 20/15 vision! I can finally freely enjoy viewing and experiencing the world like I once used to as a kid.
Yes!
Koto taka legeche
@@sohantaakter557 depend kore shob doctor same charge kore na
I cut his hair in long island ken moadel amazing person all my relatives did lasik with high quality visiom
How’s it going for you now?
Hey man, thank you so much for sharing your experience! Do you happen to know which brand of Laser machine did they use for your intervention?
With -5.5 on my both eyes, I can totally relate Parker. I can't wait to get it done asap
Yes! You’ll be so glad you did. Highly recommend
Hey, Did you get it done?
Did you do it? I have mine scheduled for 4/29! Excited and nervous. This video helped a lot
@@dginicola Hey, actually I'm not opting for lasik as I've found endmyopia in recent past. With good eye practice and some care, I've already reduced it to -5.0 for now. Though this process takes time and effort, I'm all in for it.
@@gyash21 what’s this? U heal your eyes??
Im going to watch this video again right before my LASIK procedure next week. It puts me at ease watching this. I’m nervous but you made it look so easy.
Good!! It was honestly so doable. You’ll be great!
How did it go?
How did it go?
Results?
How did it go and about how much u pay?
I have watched this video two times and I am scheduled for the surgery next week. Thank you!
Same here! In 7 days my surgery is scheduled and I’m so nervous! I have a tiny scar on the outskirts of my cornea but they said it’s not in the vicinity of the flap creation, but they had to tell me. I asked multiple doctors and they all said it wouldn’t affect it. Trust the science!
@@de-ziner9721 Don’t worry. My surgery went so well. I can see it all now!
Hey man thanks for putting this video out there. I've been thinking about lasik on and off for a couple decades, but have been really considering seriously as this is the time. Did you get the no flap lasik? What age were you when you got it? Asking only because I am 39 and not sure if the age factor is a thing and also I know the cost is subjective to whichever doctor but if you wouldn't mind giving a definitive number so I can have a reference. Thanks!
I was 35 when I got it. I had the flap. I’m in love w it. Highly recommend
Im gonna get it in a couple weeks. Im so excited ☺️
Very informative, loved the vision comparison thank you :)
I’m glad you liked thanks!
I'm getting LASIK done tomorrow because of this video. I'm a bit nervous about the side effects but it is thanks to this video that I am finally doing it.
That’s great! Congrats
How did it go?
@@alessandrosala5272 It's awesome. The procedure was very trippy but cool. I love my vision now but my brain is still adapting to it. I often have dreams where my old vision is still in place. I am still experiencing glares, halos, and starbursts, unfortunately. Other than that, I really love the new vision, it's just great.
@@ChuckTheBossX hey may ik what’s your vision update about glares halos and starbust? Are you good now?
@@ChuckTheBossX hey! Have the side effects wore off yet?
I have -7.50 on both eyes and have always been too afraid to get lasik. But I am really considering it recently, and this video really helped.
Totally recommend it! It’ll be life changing for you
I’m the same I think or worse. I’m blind as a bat. Scheduled for my surgery tomorrow morning 😁
@@rbell643 I hope it goes well!!
Hey...how did your surgery go?
Results
Congrats on your lasik, I’m just concerned about the numbing off the eye. Is it like you can’t feel anything touching it or?
Thx for sharing
I get my surgery Friday morning and I’m excited to take the glasses off and the confidence boost that’ll come along with it 😊
Hi Tim, I know it's been a year since your comment. How is your vision now? How was it after the procedure?
Thank you for the great informative video!
Thank you for sharing I have the procedure tomorrow and there’s no going back now!
Yo my man congrats on your LASIK❤️
Appreciate it a lot!
Your video gave me so much confidence love the Jordans in your pic when you were a kid LOL
That’s great! Thanks
Hey parker came across your video testimony. I am scheduled for lasik eye surgery in a few days I am a -7.0 and -7.25 w astigmatism. Really excited and nervous.thank you for sharing. How are you feeling 1 yr later. Thanks again Carlos
I have 4 left eye and 4 right eye only astigmatism not sperical.
I feel your pain
Thank you for this video ❤
Glad your surgery went well. One thing about Lasik that continually interests me are eye doctors who choose to wear glasses over having laser correction surgery. To me, that reveals a lot.
To each their own
Haha even my sister said that
Damn, never thought of that.
That’s not taking into account that up until a few years ago lasik was only good for 20 years and then you still had to go back to wearing glasses. Now you can get touch ups for life. Also, many surgeons could not afford those treatments until they pay off their massive student loans and then they’re making bank.
A lot of those surgeons are old lol. So maybe they aren't good candidates
Had mine today. Very easy. Granted my vision was only 20/50. I started wearing glasses/contacts about 4-5 months ago and just couldn’t or didn’t want to deal with them after 35 years of not having them.
Vision was hazy and there was slight discomfort on the drive home. I tried to nap. Couldn’t, but even after laying done with my eyes closed for about 90 min I opened them and could see damn near everything. I’m about 14 hours post procedure now and I’m dealing with some haziness around white lights. That’s it.
Cant wait to see how tomorrow is. I would recommend this for anyone who is eligible.
@@kaeez discomfort right after. That lasted for a few hours. Then 4-5 hours after the procedure I could see clearly, which was kinda weird. The only “problem” (and I use that loosely) I had was light sensitively for a few days, and there was a haziness around lights, especially at light.
That’s cleared up and now everything is good. Right eye is 20/15, left is 20/20. I can read the 20/15 with both eyes open.
Haven’t had a problem with dryness. Used the drops as directed. 10/10 would recommend.
@@richvan2128 Hey! if you don’t mind could you share the results month after?
@@policeyoutube2369 perfect. 20/20 in each eye. But I can see 20/15 on the chart with both eyes open.
@@richvan2128amazing !
Hey brother, did they do the flap treatment where they cut the flap and zap you or is the process cut free now days? Just curious! Thanks
They laser the flap yes
I think my experience was different in some manner, i went into getting lasik but already had 2 different correction surgeries done in my life. I did feel some pain in my eye mainly with the suction and placement of the clamp but honestly it was really worth it for me and currently day 4 of the entire process so lets go :D. i Did get numbing but yeah i actually did have some pain the easiest literally was them using the lasers, but to me the entire time was 10/10. Im just glad in general that i dont have to wear glasses anymore. I used glasses prior to this for around 20 years and im currently 22.
Hope you’re doing well now
This is super interesting. Ive been wearing glasses since grade 5 and I’m 19 now. Hope one day I get enough money to get lasik
Totally, it’s definitely worth it
@@ParkerYorkSmith have you had any issues since?
Great video. I have kinda-bad vision but I like contacts so Lasik is not for me.
By the way, have you considered weekly vlogging, could be a good idea?
Interesting! No contacts has been so nice. I would love to. Just need to figure out more topics haha
Do they use A knife during your surgery or a stick?
I’m getting surgery myself cause I had a tumor and have double vision.
I am actually planning surgery
Your video help me alot
Thank you
After the eye surgery do they give you sun glasses to put in when you leaving there building
Yeah they gave me these goggles to wear
Thanks for this video! I’m getting lasik done in Seattle in 5 days and I, starting to get nervous
You’ll do great!
So far, would you still recommend LASIK?
did they give u a pill or something to relax u before your procedure
I was told you should still go to eye exams every year even after so they can diagnose any symptoms that could get worse over time.
I have had bad eye sight since 1st grade. Grew up in a low income family. Wish i could get this done. Now that i have kids i feel missing out on alot of things do to this issue.
How is it now after 3 months? I’ve really been considering doing this procedure ever since I watched this video a while back.
The best! I’m loving it
I’m so happy for you😭 could you do an update?
extreme dryness here. good sight but I regret to have taken the step to surge my eyes. i won’t recommend it to anyone who will face the experience of constant pain in mornings and nights when waking up. even eyedrops by doctor weren’t helpful at all. Be cautious with your decisions. I would be completely fine and calm wearing glasses again instead of experiencing this indescribable pain. the sight will decline after 10 years after all
where did you get the statistic for 10 years? they say it can last forever
The place that I'm about to go to starts almost immediately after that a numbing drops as well which is interesting that you had to wait 40 minutes.
Had to let the numbing take hold I guess
Can I ask - what would you do differently or what questions do you wish you'd ask .. etc ... I have an appointment for October 18th for this
I have done lasik surgery but at night ,,,when I look at lights it appears like star 🌟🌟(normal vision= ⭐,,glare vision=🌟) ,,is this any problem or normal thing?
Normal, I have a similar thing
@@ParkerYorkSmith thanks for reply 👍
And you can get worse in the future. Look for the real consequences in internet, don't believe doctors. Investigate well
@@ParkerYorkSmith Is it fixed now?
Sorry for the late response but what about taking a shower? Like getting water in your eyes
Were you near sighted OR far sighted before your procedure? Thanks!
Nearsighted
Congratulations! At what age did your vision began to not change? I'm 25 and my prescription is still growing so I'm not going to get Lasik very soon.
I think around 30
@@ParkerYorkSmith thanks for replying
I’m 21 and I’m getting lasik
I’m getting lasik tomorrow and I’m so nervous and my anxiety is so bad that I don’t know if I should go in. I’m so so scared. I’m scared of freaking out at the chair, rubbing my eyes and the recovery.
Go through with it. See if they have meds for your nerves. It’ll be ok
Hey how did your surgery go?
@@vnewto It went great! I had 20/15 vision the very next day. It was a little scary while getting it done cause you could see everything but I didn’t hurt at all. I was able to stay still and I haven’t rubbed my eyes at all. I think once you’re there and you know the risks you won’t move and you won’t rub your eye moving forward which was my biggest fear. The recovery was easy. The first day it burned like I chopped onions for a few hours I slept and I felt better. By the second day I was fine I just had dry eyes. The first week or so I had trouble seeing outside at night cause of the glare from the lights. But it’s been almost 3 weeks since the procedure my vision at night is almost 100% my eyes aren’t as dry anymore and most importantly I can see clearly now. 10/10 recommended I wish I would’ve done it sooner.
@@isamarleonardo4277 thank you for that bro so got surgery in 6 days
@@jshaka3769 how did it go ?
I'm srsly thinking about the surgery too, I have -7 on both eyes with astigmatism. I had poor eyesight for as long as I can remember. I'm just afraid of something happening to my eyes man even though they say it's one of the safest surgeries.
Do it!! It’s so worth it
Results?
So so happy for you ;)
Thanks buddy!!
Heyy, i want to ask something does lasik eye surgery worth it???
I always wearing my glasses almost all the time.. And i am an athelete and my glasses always break every 6 month i dont knoe why but its cost me alot of money to buy another pair of glasses... I am so tired to keep on track with my glasses i am 19 now i start wearing glasses since 8 years old and i have astigmatism with a power around 600/700 both eyes..
It was very worth it for me, I’d go talk to a doctor
well wearing glasses since i was a 5 year old, now i am 16 still wearing glasses(i have astigmatism in both eyes) cant wait for it to be done when i am old enough, ill miss my nerdy glasses tho😢
Glasses are a stylish accessory! But yes get Lasik when you can
you have to be atleast 18 to have it done
did you get lasik yet??
I just got bladeless lasik(doctor recommendation) on 12/27, my left is is -6 and right is -4. Although the next day is a big difference I am still getting constant blurred and fuzzy vision, which all is normal from what they told me. I’m just getting discouraged hearing all these people on UA-cam that it was instant for them. I hope that will be the case for me as I head into day 4.
I’m sure it will be, good luck!
How are the eyes now ?
Are you okay?
Damn the guy died
@@FTCRW 😭
Did you have any issues with bright lights/sunlight after surgery?
You wear dark glasses when you leave but nothing after 24-48 hours
@@ParkerYorkSmith Nice to hear that! Some of my friends also did the procedure, but they were sensitive to bright lights for quite a few months, especially the night lights (street lights etc.).
I'm getting lasik tomorrow and this video helped a lot! thank you! Glad you had a nice experience.
Thanks! Good luck!
How is your experience of lasik caitlin?
Plzzz tell me because i am planning about it..
I’m only 16 and my eyesore is -6 both eyes, and I’m rapidly losing vision. I have a major fear of ANYTHING touching my eyes and this video makes me less scared to do the surgery in the future 😊
Please don’t get it, I got it a month ago and still have flap complications…it’s really not worth it, keep your glasses, i wish someone told me that
@@ashash2935 I really wish it was an option but if I don’t get the surgery I could be blind in like 7 years.. thanks though, I’ll talk to my optician about it!
@@Chxrryadee I’m so sorry but I hope it works out for you, just know what you’re getting into whatever it is…get 3rd or 4th opinions too just to be sure, i feel helpless about my case and, i feel responsible to atleast can help anyone else from getting into my position, all the best!
@@ashash2935has it gotten any better? I’ve been thinking about it but the complications are weighing too much on me getting it.
My left minus 1.95 my right was minus 2 i couldn’t see clearly feels unconfident and lose quality life ….. my family never won glass so theres no other problems so that i cant do surgery…. So the qn is can i do laser surgery please suggest me brother
Not sure I’m not a doctor sorry
That’s really cool!!
Thanks for watching
As far as pricing, I’m going to be spending $4k on it. They have payment plans. Care Credit if offered at most clinics. I would not go to the Groupon clinics because they don’t have the technology. The place I’m going for Lasik is in San Diego. Called Nvision Eye Centers. They checked the thickness of my corneas and ran a ton of tests before clearing me for the lasik surgery. Gave me some supplements to take and a bunch of eye drops to start on. Hopefully this info will help as well.
Smart, I agree
My last visit at the optometrist the doctor told me I’m a great candidate for Lasik eye surgery my vision is similar to yours -5.00 LE -3.75 RE i’ve been wearing glasses since third grade
it fucking sucks…
Do it! It’s awesome
Got it done yesterday. Amazing experience I actually enjoyed the surgery it was a once in a lifetime experience. True works of Jesus Christ
Nice dude I'm thinking of getting mine this summer so like after June 17 since that's when I'm out of school
I’d recommend it
Can someone tell me if there happened to be any corneal scarring??? Even a minute
My vision is really bad like -8 bad. I starting to dislike glasses and been thinking about lasik. Can you please tell me how it fill when the surgery is been done it would really help me have an image. I plan to get lasik soon.
It feels a little irritated but not bad. You get over it soon after surgery
@@ParkerYorkSmith you are a legend for still replying. I will report to you once all is good. Thanks. 😅
@@shueybosman2017 did u do??
I have my appointment for lasik this Friday I'm excited/nervous but mostly excited
how was it??
I had Lasik done 22 years ago it only lasted about two years I had 20/20 but it went down to 20/30. I still see a starbursts around bright objects and my eyes were somewhat dry for two years but I would do it again. I don't like that he doesn't say the price of the surgery I mean really whats the big deal. I paid $1500, 22 years ago for both eyes. Every surgery the clinic will have you sign a waiver and pretty much you have no recourse if the doctor screws up. This is the one thing I hate about any and all medical surgeries
Interesting
I got my Lasik eye treatment on 30th Oct 2022
I'm ❤️ fine now ..Go for it
You mean Oct 30, 2021. Not Oct. 30, 2022 which is a couple of weeks away
Bro with out eye glass I can’t move anywhere & I can’t see any but yesterday I go to check up best america glass doctor he give me advice to make surgery Lasik but am scared!!
Hey man can you please tell me after one year how's your life going? I am really confused how LASIK effect after 5-10 years
Great! Loving it still
How come u didn't get blood marks in your eyes lyk most ppl do after lasik🤔
Good surgeon I guess?
Is under 10 days I recover.? After surgery
Congratulations on seeing life in a better way
My contacts are -7.50 both eyes astigmatism in right eye and my contacts have just caused a nightmare for my eyes lately , I wonder if the price is based on your vision def been considering lasik because it’s a much needed investment
Highly recommend!
Usually price is based on how much correction is needed. I just did my eyes both at -3.50 and I paid 3250$ Canadian. I know there's a limit for regular Lasik, I'm not sure it can be done @ -7.50 you might be close to or over the limit. They have different technologies for cases like this but usually it's more expensive. Might be worth it to book a free consultation.
Getting iDesign Lasik tomorrow, hope as good as result as you 😀
That’s great! Good luck
i've never forgot to take my contacts out, my worst fear is them rolling behind my eyes😳
Ooo wow can that happen? Scary
@@ParkerYorkSmith yessss!!! when you're sleeping your eyes move and they can so behind your eyeball like up at the top of your eyelid and can get stuck, your eye eventually pushes them out but that's SCARY to me

Bro you got subscriber please answer me...my eyesight -2.75 and I wear glasses ... should I make this decision am thinking about this...is this painful 😖? ...
Talk to a doctor - it’s not painful
@@ParkerYorkSmith thanks bro❤️
Do you happen to know the name of the place that you went?
Maloney Shamie Eye Institute
Have suffered with short eye sight since 2 ND grade .please if anyone can help me I would love to see the world clearly
Can you plz tell what we're you able to see during lasik? Black or something? Plz reply
It got temporarily very blurry for a few seconds
I have astigmatism (I have around -7.00 in both eyes) I can’t see further than 5in from my face, I’ll be getting eye surgery when I get enough money for it but I’ve been watching videos to find comfort in getting it done
I had near about same prescription as yours before my LASIK surgery. It's been more than a year since I got my LASIK surgery done. I got 6/5 or 20/15 vision, the best decision of my life!
Last question my brother on first when u reach lasik office doctor check you eyes ok snd did they say that you must wait a year cause we wanna know you eye is stable or not did they say that and u did surgery after 1 year …….. you you juct go casually and they check your eyes and you did lasik within a week
I went casually and they did it in a week cuz I was a good candidate
Same with me. I went in today and scheduled for a week. All the test showed that im a great candidate for the procedure.
i've worn glasses since i was 8 for myopia caused by astigmatism. my original optometrist said that once my eyes have finished maturing, i should be a decent candidate for laser eye surgery. i'm now 30, my old optometrist has retired and my current optometrist doesn't think that i would be a suitable candidate. i just don't want to wear glasses anymore
I’d get a 2nd opinion, see if some other doctor thinks you’d be a candidate
If he says You are not a candidate believe him, otherwise You Will regret it the rest of your life...
I’m not missing out on a good nap cuz I’m too drunk to get up and take off my contacts so yup they go on the floor until i get up 🤣🤣
Did you see any halo and starbust at night ? What surgery did you opt ? Lasik or smile?
Slight halo for a bit but only about a week. LASIK
@@ParkerYorkSmith I had lasik surgery recently and experiencing glare starbusts around bright objects....how long it takes to go away..do you have any focusing issues
I am scheduled for the procedure tomorrow. I have very poor eyesight and can't see things 100% clearly even with the glasses..my eye power keeps increasing every year. I am feeling super nervous for the surgery.
Hope it went well! Good luck
How did it go
@@zaheersomething5507 Surgery was quick like 5 minutes of total time. Since then one eye has some discomfort. it feels like there is some foreign body like an eyelash in my eye. i went for a post op and they said its normal and will get better in a week or so. My vision is 20/20 right now which is good.

Thanks a lot, depends on who does the surgery
You got pretty eyes. I've got negative 8.5 both eyes plus astigmatism.
Thanks! Sounds like lasik would be good
@@ParkerYorkSmith my optometrist has told me twice in the last 4 years I should wait. I think I want a second opinion. Because my dad had horrible eyesight. Lasik gave him 20/20.
@@dancs5414 why did you need to wait, is there an age minimum?
@@RealSavage7 the optometrist told me my eyes keep changing shape. That if I got surgery. They could change some more and I would probably still need glasses. Oh and money. I'm ok with glasses. I just want thinner lenses
@@dancs5414 Same, I want to at least see a little bit without my glasses
How many years lasik last, 10years or more ？
More
Hey Parker it's been more than 3 months I wanted to ask if you got dry eyes or everything is fine
Everything is great! Love it
One thing I remember distinctly about the Lasik surgery is when the laser burns your cornea it smells like burnt dog hair.
Wasn’t the case for me
@@ParkerYorkSmith Come on? They are buring tissue which is what a laser does. It burns
I want to see without glasses but im very afraid of complications after surgery :(
People say you cannot feel the laser. I my experience, I did felt a sting as the laser pass one of my eye. That's with 2 drops on the eyes to prevent the pain. Then, I tear up like a mad man at home. Yeah, the drop wear off. The tear never stop, until after I force myself to sleep. Then again, who can sleep when tears keep falling down. It felt like ants eating you eyeball or bunch of sand stirring into your eyes. If I know it was that bad, I would have buy the sleeping pill.
