So glad I watched your video, got LASIK done two days ago and I couldn’t be happier. My vision is also sliiightly off, I can see só great but that tiny bit off, I’m hoping it will improve, my doctor told me there will be vision fluctuations for a few days to a couple of months, but I’m glad I’m not the only one to have this
how is it now? i got lasik 3 days ago, i can see better but sometimes it gets blurry and small words are not that easy to read, will it get better? how much time should it take ? 😢
Love this video, I’m actively waiting to get my surgery done later this month. Can’t wait. My prescription closer to -8 in both eyes so I’m looking forward to not needing glasses or contacts
I have a consultation in a week. I genuinely uncomfortable with putting anything in my eye like contacts or what not but I feel this procedure will be worth it. Thank you for your in depth experience it really helped solidify my decision.
Hey Joanna, congrats on your surgery. I'm happy for you got good results from it. I was wondering how much were you paying for your contact lenses for a month?
Having been an optician I'm always interested in hearing from people about their lasik experience. One thing you said in your video that isn't quite true even though I understand why you think it. You weren't both nearsighted and farsighted. You were nearsighted but as your prescription increased from year to year and you were wearing glasses for everything which included things up close such as reading and studying. Your eyes were becoming more and more dependent on your glasses for everything and you no longer were as able to read without your glasses anymore. But you your eyes didn't become farsighted. They just adjusted your glasses prescription. This happens to nearly everyone once they start wearing their glasses all the time. I always told new patients that were nearsighted that they should take their glasses off when doing anything close such as reading for that very reason. If you were3 really nearsighted and farsighted you would have been wearing bifocals or progressives instead of single vision glasses. You're still getting used to being able to see so good without glasses or contacts and I'm sure you love waking up in the morning and being able to see everything so clearly as soon as you open your eyes without first having to put on your glasses to even see the clock. I'm guessing by now your eyesight is probably somewhere around 20/15 or even 20/10 now. What a difference from not not even being able to see the big "E" on the eyechart in your doctor's office without glasses. Now you can almost read where the eyechart was printed down at the bottom in really tiny print. Since you wore contacts most often I'm wondering if you will ever miss not wearing glasses in the future? I have been amazed over the years at how many people, mostly women, say they miss their glasses. They have told me that they actually liked wearing glasses. What they didn't like was not being able to see anything without them. Several even managed to get the doctor to prescribe them with weak glasses for night driving even thought their eyesight was still no worse than 20/20. Funny thing, going from being 20/10 or 20/15 down to what we generally consider as being perfect 20/20 is like someone going from 20/20 to 20/40. So doctors are prescribing glasses because of that just to sharpen things up a bit for them. Do you think you may miss your glasses in a year or two?
I thought they were prescribed glasses at night due to the halos/starbursts side effect which is really noticeable at night. That's my main concern in getting lasik atm.
I had SMILE two years ago and it has left me severely disabled. I have corneal neuralgia, severe dry eyes and terrible vision. I can no longer work, drive or be outdoors. I also am more dependant on glasses now than before.
This video was so informative and well done. Thank you for posting it. 10 months later how is your vision? Have your dry eyes gotten better? How about the halos at night? I am booked to have it done on December 17th and nervous but hopeful that I will have life changing results as well.
I hope it went well! My vision is perfect and the halos have improved drastically! I do still have dry eyes when I wake up or drink wine, but it’s manageable!
@@JoannaSophia Hey I'm really worried about my glares and halos...do they go away 100% completely?...what is your night driving experience now? please do reply
How are you doing now? Are your eyes still dry? How about the halos? I got mine 2 weeks ago and already perceive the difference and am quite impatient about the final result after my sight stabilizes.
I got it done 2 weeks ago. The machine broke down when i got my right eye done, had to come back 2 days later for the left eye.😂😂 but the result came out awesome. If you guys consider getting a lasik, you will not regret it
I’m concerned about the irritation of dry eyes. I can’t wear contacts because of how dry my eyes and contacts get and they drive me insane. So that is my most concern about lasiks
@@JoannaSophia I had lasik today!!! Seriously the easiest operation I’ve ever had! No pain, no discomfort. I do have some slight halos. Like everyone says - I wish I had done it sooner!
I got an appt next month. Excited and nervous, how soon were you able to drive yourself? I also have very bad eyesight and one eye is worse than the other.
Hi ive had my lasik monovision surgery about 50 days. I still feel there is a difference between my eyes and blurry vision with night lights. Did anybody experience that. The dr told me it will go after few months. I m really worried
I was told with Monovision, it can take up to 6 months for your eyes to completely heal. Make sure when you go to your followup appt, you let them know what’s going on.
I regret doing this surgey I see everything HD not the same quality I used to before in my glasses why this happened It has been two month since I did it and I really regret
@@AD-jv5qy it was dry for 2 weeks and then felt better after that. I would talk to your doctor and ask what they’d recommend since your symptoms are longer.
I am 3 days post op at the moment and I can say this video is the most realistic in describing the EXACT scenarios (be it the visual descriptions post-op or the analogies used to describe them). Just to add to the video. The best way to describe the first 2 days after post-op, the way I describe it is that you’re looking through a wet butter paper. Hope this helps!
Ma'am everything you experienced, i have too, i just need to ask about TEXT, when i see text, they have like Trail or to put it this way that text is sharp enough, did you experience that?

oh my god this is so helpful and detailed! I’m getting mine done soon and needed to hear someone’s experience to prepare myself 😭great vid! 💝
I’m glad you liked it!! Good luck 😉 I’m sure you’ll do great!!!
I had mine done on Dec 18th and can see words get clearer day by day and I think it was a great decision.
I’m so glad your surgery went well!!!
I’m getting Lasik at the end of this month and I’m so excited!! Nervous...but excited!
It’ll go great!!! Don’t be nervous, you’ll love the results!
@@JoannaSophia I haven’t worn contacts in a couple years now because they didn’t fit my eyes very well. I’m so excited to not wear glasses anymore 🥲🥲
I completely get it! Good luck 🥰
@@Hannah-um7fr hey! how did it go? i hope your recovery was quick and pain-free
Im getting mine in two hours! Cant wait to wake up without grabbing for my glasses! Now that we have to wear masks, Im even more excited.
I hope it went well!!!!!
@@JoannaSophia It went quick and great. My vision is 20/15 now! Already back working two days later. I got lasik in one eye and SMILE in the other!
@@chilltrav9273 how ur eyes condition now?
@@tuabijakIT They're great! Im 20/15, which is better than 20/20. Even dust seems so clear to me! Best decision!
@@chilltrav9273 wow u got eagle eyes now, i hope my surgery success like yours
Thank you! I just had it done today! I was checking out your video to see if one of my eyes being a little blurry is normal.
Love this video! Got mine done yesterday and rewatching this now :'D Liked and subbed :)
Thank you ☺️ I hope your recovery is going well!!

@@Lasikkon lol why not?
@@Lasikkon damn I'm sorry you had such a negative experience. That really blows!
Awesome video. Thank you
I scheduled mine next week and im so nervous!!! Thanks for this video!
Good luck! You'll do great!
I am getting my Lasik done tomorrow.. hoping to get a 20/20 vision or better 🤩 By the way, your lasik experience was very motivating! ☺️
I hope it went well!!!
@@JoannaSophia Yess.. it's been a week now..🤩 Got 20/15 Vision through Contoura Vision Lasik... Extremely Happy 🤩
@@DSCOVERS do u regret it?
@@DSCOVERS where did u got it ??
@@amirrezamohajer8155 Nope.. there's nothing to regret about. I don't need glasses anymore now, isn't this wonderful? 💫🤩

@Coco how long has it been since you got it ?
@Coco where did you get yours done?

God bless you!
This afternoon I am getting my procedure done
Im 6 days after lasik eye surgery and i have glare effect on right eye. All letters are hazy and it gives me headaches :(
I hope it has gotten better!
so helpful thank you!! I have surgery early may and now I am realizing I might want to take a week off so I am not on a screen :)
Definitely recommend that!

Thank you this is so helpful
Great video! Did you have traditional lasik or custom wavefront lasik?
How are you doing now? Are your eyes still dry? How about the halos?
I got mine 2 weeks ago and already perceive the difference and am quite impatient about the final result after my sight stabilizes.
Hi, I had mine done 3 days ago and my vision is how you described at 25:20. How long did that take to settle?

@@adammobley7425 congrats. 🎉
Is it worth accounting to you having a lasik surgery ?Is it still feeling difficult while driving at night ?
I definitely think it was worth it for me. Driving at night is much better! The only issue I still have is dry eyes.
Do you feel burn in your eyes when using eye drops?
I got an appt next month. Excited and nervous, how soon were you able to drive yourself? I also have very bad eyesight and one eye is worse than the other.
You can drive by the next morning!
Thankyou

So it's worse than before you got your glasses?
👍

Nope
Yup!
You are so gorgeous, are you white or whitish Asian?
I had mine 20 years ago and very happy that I had it done.
Me too
and your vision has stayed perfect since then? that's amazing
@@Gtneff I don't even use readers either and I am 65!
How long did it take for the dryness to get better, I'm 3 months post surgery and my left eye is pretty dry all the time even using drops
I never had dry eyes.
Very helpful video! Detailed explanation. I’m wondering how do you feel after one year as I’m planning to get it done this month.
Ugh I’m 5 days post op and my left eye is so dry it feels like it’s scratching against my eyelid every time I blink :( I hope it goes away soon
It will!!! Keep using those drops though, they help a lot.
How is the left eye now, I'm 3 months post op and I have the same issue with the left eye
@@AD-jv5qy it was dry for 2 weeks and then felt better after that. I would talk to your doctor and ask what they’d recommend since your symptoms are longer.
This video helped a lot. Have my surgery scheduled for this Friday 🙏
This was an amazing video. Will you upload a update on how your eyes doing now?
I haven’t planned on it! My eyes are doing great, my only issue is dryness, which is slowly getting better!
@@JoannaSophia has your dryness resolved now a year later?

Random question. Were you able to wear moisturizer on your face the day of surgery?
Hey i got my lasik done before 10 days but small objects r still kinda hazzy is it normal
please can you give your doctor info
For privacy reasons I don't share my surgeon or where I've gotten the surgery! I recommend everyone research their own medical professionals!
Do,or did you have eye fatigue beforehand?
Does using cellphone a lot affect the vision after having lasik?
Not any more than it does your eyesight without lasik lol
Did you use contoura?
