Can anyone tell me step by step how laser eye surgery works?
My eye sight is getting worse every year and its to the point where im thinking that at some point in my life i might end up needing laser eye surgery just so i dont go blind when im 40! My problem is i despise it when things get near my eyes… you see i cant where contacts and its a pain to get drops in my eyes but im early to reckon im going to have to get laser eye surgery… So what happens in laser eye surgery?

I know the process of LASIK honestly well as I saw it done twice and had it done personally. A flap of your cornea (the lens of your eye) is cut and peeled back then a laser is used to burn microscopic bits of the underlying material into a shape that allows light to focus properly, then the flap is laid back down. You are awake for the entire procedure as they only provide drops to numb the eyes. It is completely painless even afterward with only a severe sensitivity to light as the main discomfort.
Lasik eye surgery is rather safe if only you are a suitable candidate. As with any surgery, there is a certain risk incurred. You must be screened for suitability and examined by the doctor personally. (Not the sales team to mislead you to get expensive package deal).
If you are a suitable candidate, the risk maybe :-
1.)Dy eyes (temporary)
2.)Regression/ enhancement
3.)Infection (3-5/20,000 for the next 3 weeks)
4.)Flap/ complication of treatment (rare)
5.)Miscellaneous
A suitable candidate for Lasik surgery, it depends on:-
1.)Your corneal thickness
2.)Your power
3.)Your age
4.)A centre with a doctor who is examining your eyes personally
5.)Torough explanation to suit your lifestyle
Always insist on seeing the doctor performing the surgery for you. It is the due deligent of him or her to bestow the risk and benefit to you in detail personally.

I had Laser eye surgery done after wearing glasses for 16 years. It has been perfect for me. I have had no changes. Of course, as I age, I expect changes. I also co-manage refractive surgery and have seen hundreds of successful patients. It doesn’t hurt, commonly. There is a bit of difficulty, but no real pain if you have Laser eye surgery. The PRK translation (where no flap is cut) is a small more uncomfortable for the first few days subsequent the procedure. I’ve seen several people who said they were in some pain, but healed just fine. I used to wear both glasses and friend lenses. I had laser eye surgery done and it’s the best pronouncement I’ve ever made. I can see clearly, no squinting, no driving with glasses any longer. I can read road cryptogram, see the party leaves in the trees (they’re not just a hazy mess any longer). It’s also nice to be able to see what time it is when I wake up. The procedure is painless (although a bit uncomfortable) but takes less than 15 minutes. Highly not compulsory.
