Thank you so much for making this video, as soon as you said -7.25 on both eyes and high Astigmatism I thought in my head, Finally! A person who understands the struggle!!
Same! Im 7 in one and 7.5 in the other. Were the elites of the blind lol
And I thought my -2 and -3 were bad and i don't have astigmatism too
I’m -7.25 in my left and -8.5 in my right
-9.75 here. In both eyes
I was having anxiety attacks whenever i think about my eyes vision getting worst until i knew there is smtg called laski eye surgery now i feel a kind of hope
Ah that’s great to hear! I’m glad this video could give you a little hope ✨
I want to be a paramedic but I can’t because of my eyesight I’m considering lasik so that I can
@@Chirpingcherub you can be one just wear your glasses
@@j._.18 I can’t they are too low my country is very strict driving requirements. Even if I wear glasses there’s a limit on the prescription strength you are allowed to use.
@@Chirpingcherub damn that sucks
Mei-Ying, thanks for being so real and telling us about the surgery in so much detail- I've always been curious about laser eye surgery! Hope you're doing ok and that everything has healed well by now! 💛
Thank you so much! That’s such a lovely comment and has made my morning - I’m doing better day by day! I’m sending you huge hugs and hope you have a great Wednesday 🌟🥰
My mum had laser eye surgery 18 years ago with Optimax (on Finchley Rd) and has had 20:20 vision ever since! She has no regrets about having the surgery. Glad it all worked out for you- Don't rub your eyes!!
Ah no way!! What a coincidence and such lovely stuff to hear ☺️ I am slowly trying to train myself not to rub them and shall try to continue the good habit 💛 have a lovely weekend Imogen!!
I was looking for a place to get mine done in north London. Thanks for the recommendation. Are your mums eyes still great? I would be over the moon to get 20:20 vision!!!
Wait why can't you rub your eyes? And do you mean you can never rub them again..?
@@lilliancall9283 no just for 2 months max after 2 months your flap should be backed healed some people say 2 weeks - 1 month but to me that’s just to soon you wanna give your eyes more than enough time to heal especially with the fact they cut your eyes open
So encouraging I'm wearing glasses from past 13 years and number in both eyes is above 5. I'm 27 and just don't want glasses anymore. I planned for laser.
Soo happy to see this
Coming from the university videos, this has been super helpful too as my eyesight is on the same range as yours and i can super relate to the struggles, surgeries scare me too much. I’m proud of you for getting through it, you are amazing!🥰❤️
Thank you so much Aisha 💜✨ that’s such a lovely comment and has truly made my day. It’s always nice to hear that others can relate to the struggles!! I hope you have an amazing day and I’m sending huge hugs 🥰
Thank you for sharing your experience. I have fears with surgery, especially eye surgery. Not that I know if I'll get one in the future but just remind myself and this made me feel comfortable and not alone. Thank you so much.
You’re so pretty omg
Haha thank you lovely!! That’s so kind of you to say ☺️💕
@@meiyingchow I have the same condition as you, is your vision now better than what it was when you had glasses or the same?
The best thing about this video: the earcuffs!! Thank you sis
thank you for uploading very detailed for laser eye surgery, also youre very pretty
Thanks for this!! I’m planning on getting my eyes done in the next couple years & this was a good preliminary glimpse into what I’m in for! It would be awesome for you to do like a 6 month follow up to this to see how you’re doing longer-term!
Yes definitely! I’d happily include a little deferment into a vlog most likely. The eyes are still a little dry two months later gout 20/20 vision is amazing and so worth it 🥰❤️
Bet you're glad your glasses don't fog up from the mask anymore
Hahaha honestly such a blessing 😆 the issues this pandemic has brought with it!!
Mfs without the glasses never understood it. Telling you to “Pull your mask up” I’d always put the mask below my nose so that my glasses wouldn’t fog. Cause when they fogged It would leave me temporary blind . That or I’d do really slow light breathing which would still fog them but less. But instead leave me dying for real OXYGEN. it should of been illegal for them to require ppl to do that in my opinion.
is it hurt during treatment?
Thank you so much for sharing Your experience ! It really helps gives me the courage to get mines done
Thanks for the great video! Just had my pre op exam and going in Thursday for the surgery. I hope you're healing well these days!
that's so exciting - best of luck for thursday!! I'm so excited for you
How was it?
It went really well. It was actually painless for me. The only thing I felt was the pressure on my eyes like pushing on your eyelid with your finger. And eyes felt dry after wards. I'm glad I did it. The anxiety was the worst part of it, even laying there before they started thinking it would be so bad but it really wasnt
@@sevens7ring awesome
This was so helpful from start to end. Thanks :)
hey girl! we have the exact same prescription! i’m so fortunate that my dad has offered to pay for my laser eye surgery; i’m so excited! it’s an absolute must now that I managed to get an eye infection from showering with my contact lenses in 😮💨
How was it?
can your dad please pay for mine too
@@pokejammerz lmao
Thanks, this video was really helpful!
Having my first appointment tomorrow and hopefully the surgery a couple of weeks after - now I know what to expect 😊
Ahhh that’s so exciting!! Good luck for all your checks and fingers crossed for a successful surgery! It’s honestly amazing the technology available nowadays ☺️✨
so now may have done the surgery right????? im excited to know what happend to u ?
@@scarlet8818 Yes!! I did in in the middle of January - and I can see perfectly I can't even believe it!! 😁 The procedure was not a bad experience for me, it was rather uncomfortable, but I wouldn't say it hurt. The next 3 days were also weird (itchy, dry eyes) but after a week it got to almost not noticeable. Now all I feel is that my eyes are still dry but they said it is normal and will go away. I urge everyone to go through with it given the opporunity!! 👀
@@horvathdorottya4071 I'm so close to booking a consultation. Nervous about that, never mind the operation🤣
Great video!!
I've just had Lasik (on day 3 of recovery now) and am happy to hear the level of honesty and detail from your recovery! Best video I've see so far!!
I have to wear lenses (no eye shields) for the first 5 days and they are sooo painful 😮💨 almost done though.
How much is it I'm thinking they charge like 10k
@♤ MurderMediocrity ♤ depends largely where you live. Can be from USD 500 to USD 3000 per eye.
Hey did you have perfect Vision a day after surgery or did it take a few weeks?
@omarmiah3186 definitely not the day after. Your eyes will continue to adjust for a few months. You can see quite well a day or 2 after, though.
I have done my lasik in Chicago 2 days ago. It went well so far. I was able to see clearly the next morning. My vision was -8.0 with astigmatism and myopia and farsigtness. You look pretty and i am happy that u can see without glasses and contacts
Ahh thank you so much! I’m so glad your surgery went well and I hope you have a wonderful recovery ☺️✨
Hello. I am in the Chicagoland area and am thinking of having it done. Your prescription is a bit close to mine, so I was wondering how much it costs? I’m a bit nervous to schedule a consultation just yet.
interested to hear updates from u... how was the last 2 month ?????
@@scarlet8818 only my back neck hurts sometimes in the morning or evening which I think its normal for couple months. My left eye still healing slower than the right one. But of course I can see well
did it give you the same or better vision than your updated prescription? thanks!
ur so pretty❤️but honestly like thank you for this video it helped with my decision soo much lol
I’m so glad this video could help and thank you!!
I’ve been nervous to get mine done but this has put me at ease, thanks for this
Ah I’m glad!! That’s lovely to hear and good luck with the surgery 💪🏼🕶
How did it go?
@@TirnanHealy getting it done on June 4th, but I’m sure it’ll be grand
@@jackgill6519 good luck and don't forget to tell results
@@namanvyas4606 Just woke up from a nap after the procedure. I can already see perfectly and I’m only in slight discomfort. The procedure itself was quick and painless, just had to keep myself calm and in the end I was in the clinic for about half an hour.
wow Ive got the same prescription and have had glasses since i was 4, the clamping thing has certified that i'm not getting LASIK!! I'm glad it worked out so well for you tho!
Haha well I’m glad I could help you make the decision. It definitely isn’t for everyone and I wish my past self had known but thank you ☺️ have a lovely Monday!!
@@meiyingchow you too! Your videos on King's were super informative for an upcoming masters student like me, so thanks for that too hahaha
Oh no way!! That’s brilliant - well done on securing your masters and kings is a great place to do them 🎉 best of luck!!
Thank you for sharing your experience,
I also went through silk surgery at Eye7 Hospital, and my specs power was around -5D. Now after surgery, my eyes are perfectly fine. Now i am living specs specs-free life.
Thank you, Dr. Rahil
my prescription has reached a point where it makes my eyes look small with glasses. out of everything in the world, my fear is anything relating to eyes. i can't even put eye drops in. the most i can do is take an eyelash out of it. i really want lasik but its hard to even watch things like this. i keep pausing it and im crying just from seeing the image of the tool holding the eye. if it were possible to be asleep while it happened id do it ): i wish i was as brave as anyone who's gotten or will get it. kudos to all of you and this beautiful girl.
Wow -7.25 is a high prescription. Glad they could fix it and nice to see someone my own age getting surgery.
I had a consult in 2018 but they said to wait 18 months. Can't wait to go back and see if I'm eligible.
My prescription's pretty bad too; not the prescription itself, but the difference between the 2 eyes. One of my eyes is +3.75 and the other is -2.50
omg girl ur video was super helpful. thank uuuuu. im gonna do the measurements this week and i hope there would be no problems so that i can stop wearing glasses :...)))
Thanks for sharing all that info!
Thank you for your very informative vlog!
Thank you for this super informative video (although after watching it I feel like I'm a bit too scared of the process to do laser eye surgery haha)!! My eyesight is around -8 without including my astigmatism lol
You’re so welcome!! I’m so glad I could help share a little insight 🥰 it was quite traumatising but if you’re unsure I’d ask to book a consultation and then see how you feel ❤️
I’m actually so terrified to do this and I am still terrified after watching omg 😭 i think I’ll wait 😭😭😭 i hope the rest of your recovery goes smoothly!!
it's not scary at all it only lasts 10 minutes from what I heard on UA-cam videos of them having it
@@j._.18 Have you watched how they do it?
@@j._.18 Looking pretty disturbing but the person doesn't really feel much.. At least that's what I remember
The surgery itself isnt scary but post surgery complications is
I’m so glad you can see probably:) btw you look so pretty also can I ask a question,did it hurt when you got the eye laser did it hurt?
0:53 yeah, I’m gonna stop complaining about my -1.75 / -2 vision now...
Same!
I’m -6 and -5.5 :(
@@siven8471 I wish I had 2 eyes that are near in prescription. Mine are +3.75 and -2.50 and with different amounts of astigmatism. Went for a LASIK consult & they delayed surgery for 18months bc they thought I possibly have keratoconus and wanted to see if it develops. Hopefully it's just thin corneas
Mines 0.5
Haha yup. Mine are -8.1 and -7.4
Will be hopefully getting lasik this year
Hi I also have a high prescription and considering this surgery and was wondering how your eyes are doing now?
How is your night vision or do you see starbursts or halos now? Also are your eyes dry?
Has your eyesight settled in or does it still get blurry sometimes?
Do you have any regrets or would you still recommend it compared to your sight prior even with contacts and glasses?
Would you say the pros outweigh the cons?
Thank you for this video x
Haha i got one done just recently as well - the eyedrops was the worst during my examinations as well!! It lasted more than a full day for me.
That’s me sold on this now. The clamps don’t seem too bad. I’ve never really had an issue with touching my eye and other people touching it, so I don’t think it will be traumatic for me.
Now it’s just about saving up money so I can get the procedure done.
Just had my lasik done today. Absolutely 0 pain during the procedure just a bit uncomfortable and nervous. Afterwards feels like you got some dust in your eyes for a couple of hours but goes away if you use the artificial tears. I wouldn't worry about this procedure at all and definitely wouldn't compare it at all to an ACL surgery!
How much time will it take for the procedure to complete
@@muhammedbasheer5083 I was given some valium so I don't have a great memory of time passing but I would say the entire thing took maybe an hour and a half
Yeah...it'll be 2 weeks for me since I had lasik done and so far, so good for me. Only thing is, my up close vision is still a little wonky as it's still stabilizing but each day, my vision is getting better as far as seeing up close and smaller print. How is your vision seeing things up close and reading small print? Right now, I wouldn't be able to see if an lash was stuck in my eye..Lol! But so happy that I pulled the trigger on getting lasik. Being able to see everything with nothing on my face is definitely life-changing!
@@priscillastephens3978 How much has the total cost?
@@Kidscorner313 I paid $3,900 and that was including a discount otherwise, regular price would have been around $4,800.
My eyesight is close to where yours was. Terrible astigmatisms. Happy yours went well. I am getting my surgery tomorrow. :)
Hello! Thank you so much for this video, it gave people like me with high myopia more hope :,) but I wanted to know, how stable was your eyesight prior? because 21 seems quite young and although its different for everyone what age you eyes become stabilized I’m not quite sure what “stabilized” means exactly? Could you help explain?
Great question! My optician said my prescription had to be stable for 2+ years. So it couldn’t change from the past year!
I checked the screening yesterday. - 7.55 left, -5.00 right. I am deeply saddened, the thickness of my cornea is still not sufficient for LASIK procedures. And I am 17 years 9 months old. What I feel, is just 😔😔😔... Don't forget to be grateful if you have healthy eyes.
what exaclty does that mean??
Hello, have you tried looking at PRK?
Don't worry..... Join Jake Steiners end myopia...... See if it works .....don't lose hope... Make your eyesight better by yourself...... Obviously it will take time..... But still see...
And if it not works... Then directly go to ICL surgery..... It's better than lasik and obviously you are suitable.. Candidate for ICL...... Lasik is good if you have luck.... Otherwise don't damage your eyes permanat....... 🙃
I love you and your vlog
Great vid! Would you recommend Optimax? Thinking of doing it myself? Would be great for a follow up video 👍
I am 17 and I wear contacts. Also, I take prescription drops for ocular hypertension (high eye pressure). I want lasik b/c contacts are expensive in the long run. Plus it’s annoying, my eyes get dry, and I have scratched my eye taking them out (from too dry eyes). I believe my prescription drops do cause some dryness, too. I am too young but would be interested later on. Take care of your eyes folks!
Randomly talked with my mom about the topic of eye surgery,and I thought about it today and looked up some videos. So thanks for talking about it!
My eyes are similar to yours,so this is super interesting to me. ~-8 with astigmatism, been wearing glasses for a long time too. However the idea of surgery isn't really appealing to me. I needed surgery for my strabismus as a young teen already and that experience was a little traumatic for me. Like. It worked and I got to miss a maths test. But I had many sensory issues while recovering,my eye felt sooo gross, and the anaesthetic knocked me out for say longer than expected for an outpatient procedure.... Like sure,if I could magically have great vision? I might risk it. But the thought of getting another eye procedure is already scaring me lol
Thank you for your story. I used to be -8.00 in both eyes with astigmatism in both. I got turned down twice for LASIK. I just recently went back to the first doc I saw on my first consultation who told me years ago ( about 15 or 20 ago) that my corneas were too thin and my prescription was outside of the scope of what the lasers could correct. The Dr. Told me to come back because the technology is always getting better. I just went on Wed and got approved for LASIK and my prescription is now -6.50 and -7.00 with only a slight astigmatism.One thing I will tell anyone who is getting a consultation is if you wear soft contacts, do not wear them for at least 3-4 weeks before the appointment . If you don’t wear your contacts, the cornea will go back to it’s normal thickness and shape so the doctor will be able to see the exact thickness of your cornea.This is what I did differently and what helped with getting approved.
What's your eye grade after lasik? Did you get 20/20?
I have no stigmatism and -6.0 in each side, due to having thinner cornea and higher prescription they will due prk instead of lasik. Longer recovery, but grateful I still have an option.
@@iinnn2363 20/15 a year ago then 20/10 this time only missing 2 letters on the 20/10 line. 20/15 and 20/10 are both better than 20/20 and I can see details that I have never been able to see before.
@@KellaLily I was told I could only get PRK a long time ago but I held out and tried more doctors. One doctor told me I couldn’t get Smile surgery and told me to replace my lenses in my eyes with intraocular lenses which is cataract surgery! He also told me it would cost $15,000 not covered by insurance and that I was developing a cataract. My LASIK cost $4350 and I financed it through Alphaeon. I would go to a few more consultations after leaving contacts out ( if you wear them) for about 3-4 weeks and then see what they say. I will tell you that when you get older and can’t see up close, your distance prescription gets better so less tissue has to be removed from your cornea. I still wear readers for close vision but even that has improved since LASIK. I’m 54 so I am ok w readers because I already wore them before I got surgery. It will be 2 years in June and I would do it again 1000%
@@Rap111unzel thanks for your advice. I wore my glasses for 4 weeks prior to the consultation and another consultation is going to happen prior to surgery day. At least they charge the same amount for prk as Lasik with the clinic I'm going to work with. You can have less issues with dry eye in the long run with prk, so I'm looking at that as a silver lining to the longer recovery since I already have minor dryness. I'm in my early 30s and hoping to get at least 10 years prior to needing reading glasses. My mom got her correction while removing her cataracts she didn't regret not getting reader inserts (her brother got them), I guess they cost quite a bit extra and there can still be complications with them, wearing reading glasses doesn't bother her too much, it's nice to wake up and be able to see.
I’m going in for my consultation tomorrow and I’m so nervous. It’s always been one of my goals to get the surgery done🥺
It was one of my goals too! I really hope your consultation goes well and my fingers are crossed 🤞🏼
Update?
so what happend????
Ok so first of all, this video popping up on my feed reminded me of wanting laser eye surgery, kinda freaks me out with the clamp etc although everyone says it's not painful etc but I've had enough surgeries ( ear, tonsillectomy and toe surgery) so i feel like i should survive this LOL , also got my eye number and little piece of metal taken out of it😂our prescription is similar and I can't even imagine being able to see without the annoyance of glasses.. Kinda worried about the eye dryness tbh, when you mentioned in the video " grit in your eyes" that reminded me of that exact feeling i used to get when I did several 12 hr night shifts at work my eyes got so dry it felt like SAND in them🥲 but anyways! thank you for this video honey I should really just get a consultation asap when Covid clears up a bit and get my eyeballs sorted LOL xx much love 😘😘
The clamp for me was far worse than the grit in my eyes but it sounds like you might have dryer eyes than me so might be higher risk of getting dry eyes - although tbf staring at a computer for 12 hours sounds hard!! If you’re unsure I’d recommend maybe getting a consultation and seeing what they say - they’re more likely to say yes than no because they want business but I’d say it would give you a good insight into the surgery ❤️🥰
@@meiyingchow My 12 hour night shifts were in a nursing home so no computer thank goodness! just having to have my eyes open to extra 12 hrs when I should be sleeping must be why they dried out so much but you're right, I hope it's not the case about the dryness and I can still get it omg🥺 thank you for you reply😘
I did the surgery before 2 days and the only thing that uncomfortable is the thing that clip in my eyes ( so that i won’t close my eyes ) but the rest of the surgery process didn’t Hurt 👍🏻 and after 4 hours from the surgery my eyes fells draw and itchy ( feels like you have eyelashes hair in your eye ) and your not allowed to Touch your eyes 👀 now after 2 days my eyes feel better and im happy that i did it after using glasses for 9 years ( hope i helped with any of the questions ❤️)
I went for a consultation and since I am 19, have a higher prescription (-8/-7) and i also have a thin cornea. i am not a candidate right now but they told me to wait until i am 21 too see signs of relative stabilization. I am so sad. Were your corneas on the thinner side too? 💗
did it give you the same or better vision than your updated prescription? thanks!
I'm just 15 when I had a very bad eyes vision after I saw your vdo I was so scared abt surgery but I hope I can surgery it in the future❤️
Noo, I'm also 15, and i was also scared earlier, but my frnd shows me a vlog of another UA-camr, and it's not that harmful, painful or harsh... They just took nearly 15 mins to do ur surgery and after that u have to close ur eyes for one day and after 1-3 days u will be able to see everything clearly without specs or lenses....
Hope it helped u to boost up yourself.....
😊😊😊😊💯💯💜💜
Thank you for the video! You seem quite articulate
I’m going to the same place tomorrow your video really helped apart from your brutal honesty about the pain 😂
Honestly you should have got this for free with the amount of exposure you given them!
Haha no way - might have to forward on this comment to their marketing... but regardless best of luck!! I hope it’s gone well and fingers crossed for a swift recovery 🤞🏼
update???
@@scarlet8818 Had the surgery a few days ago and can now say I have 20/20 vision. Honestly for me i didn’t experience any pain or discomfort and within 5/10 it was over with. Definitely worth it in my opinion 👍🏼
@@MikeKatz17 congratulations on your surgery. Very jealous. Were you short or long sighted? Are we overthinking the operation? If it's only 10 minutes surely it's worth every penny.
@@alanfisher7108 Hey, honestly for me it’s the best money I’ve ever spent and should’ve done this a few years ago. You should definitely go for a free consultation and ask them any questions you have. regarding the actual procedure for me it really wasn’t what I thought it would be, spent most of day
in the waiting room with alot of nerves. Was honestly shocked when they said it was done and how quick it was.
I “was” shortsighted 😜
I’ve thought about doing this tbh. Mine is -2.00 and -1.25. Definitely a huge difference and it has bothered me even with glasses on.
Great video and thank you for sharing
No problem at all! Thank you for watching and commenting 🥰✨
Thank you for being so descriptive! I'm actually getting my laser eye surgery this Friday. Question, I wonder if this had anything to do with your pain and the clamps on your eyes. Did they give you xanax, or any kind of meds to calm you down prior to the surgery? They're giving me xanax, I hope that helps with the fear of the clamps being in your eyes. I'm not so good with pain, it kind of scared me you said it was worse than your ACL surgery!
it been 4 month since you commented, how did the surgery go? Where the clamps painful?
@@hananalm3898 clamps are not painful just a weird feeling having your eyes held open lol. They only do the clamps one at a time from my experience
@@cartercaceres927 how was the recovery?
@@armandosoria7993 for me super super easy. Antibiotic eye drops 2 times a day for a week and then normal eye drops every 30-60min for around 3-4 weeks. Had 0 pain as well. 100% recommend getting this done if you can afford it and find someone reliable.
@@cartercaceres927 Where did you get this done?
I just got my first glasses ever and I love them :)
That’s so exciting!! I loved my first pair so much - I’ve kept them in my memory box since haha ✨ I’m so happy for you Anna ☺️
It gets old after a few years. You will see. Why Im getting surgery lol
You put in your contacts just as I do now. I hate the thought of scratching my cornea so I pop them out using my eyelids as well. The eye clamps make me feel squeamish to think about but I really want lasik.
Sis you and I have the same prescription. I’m getting lasik on Friday 🤞 I’m done with these specs. Been wearing em since I was 7!!
Do u have an update on the surgery ?
Yes I do. I feel great. I was seeing immediately after surgery. The first few hours after surgery are a bit uncomfortable. Feels like sand in the eyes. But honestly I’m seeing 20/20. I’d do it all over again. 0 pain. It was however 3600$usd
@@saduu94 Awesome 😎, happy that you’re 20/20 and thank you so much for replying 😊
That’s amazing!! I’m so glad the surgery went well and cheers to 20/20 eyesight 🙌🏼✨
did it give you the same or better vision than your updated prescription? thanks!
Watching this video literally until waiting to get my eye surgery in about few days 👀
How bad is your eyesight?
Did you have dry eyes before surgery? Or have you used daily eye drops to moisture the eyes?
And how is it after
im so happy i can relate to this video because my eyesight is just as bad:( you must have had really thick corneas too
Hello, thanks for the very informative video. I have a question. did your vision keep improving after the surgery. Like was it getting better day after day? Cause I did mine two days ago and it doesn't feel like I have a 20/20 vision
The longest it can take for a Lasik patient is 2-5days i think, while if you had a prk it's an entire month or even longer
Now I feel scared and excited all at the same time.
Quick question can your eyesight go back to before the surgery if you spend too much time watching TV or on your phone or does it fix your vision permanently.
Do u need to wear glasses after doing laser eye surgery? Can it be cured both myopia and nearsightness?
In total how long did it take for you to fully see without any glasses or contacts?
Typing this as I wait to go into surgery room, wish me luck
I’m over here with -5 in my right eye and -3 in my left at 13 told it’s going to get worse as I get older and I’m watching this because my mom said in the future I might get laser eye surgery. I got glasses when I was 5.
I just had femtolasik 3 days back and got 20/20 vision on 2 nd day.
Hello, was the lasik surgery worth it ? Did you have any issues after?
How long did it take before you see a 20/20 vision post op?
i wanna get this so bad but there’s no way i can deal with the clamps😭😭
Wow. You are a strong woman. The surgery would be a no for me. (even though I couldn't afford it anyway 🤣) I don't want to feel that type of pain. Lord bless your soul.
Thank you.
How long did it take for you to recover from this surgery??
We're you able to wash your face and put moisturizer on after the surgery?
What would you suggest to someone contemplating surgery?
Hii once you do LASIK do u have to keep using eye drops forever or till it heals
Thanks for sharing! I want to get lasik buy I am still scared!!
Sister how is your eye condition now ? Is you feel dryness or blur or any other problems?
I was born with Cataracts in both eyes got them removed when I was three and had laser eye surgery when I was three went to the opticians yesterday and might have to get them done again low-key scared ngl😆
Hi..I want to ask .your power is constant for how many years that u go for surgery
wth, im 16 and i really really wanted to get laser eye surgery when im 18-20. From your description of the experience i have to rethink a bit.
i'm 16 and theres no way i'm not getting it as soon as i turn 18
You need to be over 20 to have it
Hey, could I ask how old you are?? I’m 21 and I would really like to get LASIK soon but some people say to wait, I’d rather not as I want to enjoy my younger eyes without headaches and glasses! 😭
I'm 21 too - you just have to wait for stable vision (2 years they told me) and I was good to go!
Thank you so much for your video! I’m 3 days post LASIK and my right eye isnt as clear as my left! Did you notice your sight continued to improve over a longer period of time? Trying to work out if I’m being a huge drama Queen or not haha xx
Hey dear can you please update? How's your sight now??
Hey how is your vision now?? Are they still blurry??
Can I ask how you got the discount? I’m going with optimax in 2 weeks! X
it was a covid-19 discount but they also gave my sister a discount a few years ago for being a new customer I think!
I'm getting lasik soon, they told me I can't rub my eyes after for 1 month. How did you find this?
I got laser eye surgery 5 months ago and I do not regret it after wearing glasses for 9 years xD For some reason my eyes were watering the whole surgery because I couldn’t blink. Oof :/
Ahh that’s lovely to hear!! I’m pretty sure mine were watering too haha 😂
Please how much does it cost the price ??!!
Wait does it actually clamp you eyeball or your eyelids?
Can you now see clearly?? By the way I got excited when you told you are from London 'cause it is one of the cities I would love to go to after Paris!!! Cheers!!!!
How do you stop rubbing your eyes? I have this bad habit too and I’m worried when I do decide to get lasik
I wanna do it until you said it reduce night vision..I need my night vision as high as possible as it is always dark here
how long did it take for you to be back in a normal state? I have been thinking of doing this because it cost 500 dollars every year for me to get an eyeglass. I think the laser make sense
i’ve had glasses since i was only a year old, i’m 17 now and still wearing glasses, and i really hope i’m eligible for lasik or some type of eye surgery, when i was young, they said i wasn’t, which i hope it changed by now.
My doctor said that you need to be 18minimum, plus you should also have stable eye power for at least 1yr, so i guess 19, as you need to have 1yr of stable eye vision or power, some doctors also recommend a 2yr stable vision, that's why so many doctors say getting a lasik between 20-40.
@@mayankkumar4161 whats stable eye power ?
This now makes me scared. My eyes are just as bad 😭😂
Ahh no Shirley!! That wasn’t the plan haha ☺️✨ the surgery wasn’t painful or bad because of my prescription but just because of my slight phobia of things touching my eye really haha - I’m sure it would be a breeze for you!
Hi! Just want to clarify you had ICL Surgery? or Lasik?
Thank you for sharing your experience, I think I’ll just stick to my glasses. LOL
Where did you get your laser eye surgery from? I also live in London and was looking for a good place.

Hiii after lasik are we supposed to use eyerops forever on our eyes

I just had a femto lasik surgery last week. I still feel blurry in my right eye. Worried 😟
