When it comes to things like this I am pretty ignorant. I hear that there are two new methods out there for lasik eye surgery. Can I please get some feedback in regards to which procedure is the best and why! Thanks!

There are many different kinds of LASIK. It really depends on your preference. The normal LASIK uses a blade to cut a "flap" in your cornea where another LASIK procedure is done by laser to cut the "flap". There is also laser procedures that can be done if your cornea is not thick enough to have LASIK and that is called PRK and still people may not be able to have this. The best thing to do is to schedule a free consultation with an eye doctor that does Laser Surgeries and find out if you are a candidate for them. Many people find out they aren't candidates for any laser surgeries anyways. Hope this helps!!

Any recommendation for the best LASIX doctor in town? I've been searching through the internet and came accross with Dr. Maloney, Dr. Caster and Dr. Wallace as being named among the top eye doctors in Los Angeles. I am still very skeptical with the procedure and kinda scared reading bad testimonials of the procedure in the internet. Pls help me make a decision.

The one that takes your insurance is the best one. My insurance only got me 10% off each eye! My bill was roughly $1000 per eye.

My procedure went fine, and I almost have forgotten what it's like to wear glasses (and I've worn them since 2nd grade!) I had mine done 2 years ago Monday. I can still see fine. I'm a little leery about driving at night, because things seem to be 'darker' than I remember, they simply don't adjust to the darkness the way they used to. I don't have any issues with halos around lights or anything.

Where can I get the best LASIK eye surgery in Orange county, CA?

I want to know which Eye clinic has the best skilled doctor, and
the latest technology. But, I only have a buget around $1600 for both eyes.

If you want the most skilled surgeon and the latest technology,$1600 for both eyes isnt going to buy it. You get what you pay for and need to realize that these surgeons are good but expensive. I don't know about you but I would never discount my eyes.

What is the best way to find the best lasik doctor in silicon valley? How do I rate/chose the best one?

Word of mouth is the best way to find a doc. Ask friends and family if they have heard of any good surgeons there.

What is the best place for lasik eye surgery in northern california?

Please explain where, and why. I am in the market to get this done this or next month and my eyes are NOT something I am willing to risk on any random doctors office!

I got Lasik last winter and haven't had any problems. It took me ages to get up the nerves to get the surgery done though, now I am glad I did. I spent hours at the clinic simply asking quetions about how the surgery work (Lasik vs PRK) and what my expectations were. My Arizona eye doctor was very comforting. Try visiting your local California laser vision clinic and make an appointment for a free consultation. http://www.locallaservisioncenters.com/ ... ction.html

I have my mother's degrading eyesight. My eyesight is still degrading until I'm 20 or so but right now. I'm 16 and my eyesight right now is left 20/345 Right 20/320. So what is the best as in what happens after Lasik or the other surgeries?

What is best means what is best for you. Since you are a unique individual with unique eyes and unique needs, what may be best for someone else may not be the best for you. The only way to know what may be appropriate is to have a comprehensive examination from a competent eye doctor.

I work for a nonprofit Lasik patient advocacy. We don't provide Lasik. We provide Lasik information and certify Lasik doctors' patients' results.

You describe your vision as "degrading" and your mother's as well. If you mean a constant need for new glasses or contact lenses, then the eyes have not stabilized enough that any type of laser vision correction surgery (Lasik, PRK, LASEK, Epi-Lasik, etc.) would be appropriate. The eyes need to be healthy and prescription stable for at least two years.

It is reasonable to expect your eyes to change at age 16, but your mother's eyes changing may be a greater concern. An adult who has a constantly worsening eyeglass prescription is a sign of something more than simple refractive error. This may be a concern for you because some eye maladies run in families.

Lasik can change your eyeglass prescription, but your eyes will continue to change after Lasik at the same rate they did before Lasik. If there is an underlying disease that is causing the changes, then Lasik may exacerbate the problem.

Is allegretto wave the best lasik machine? Is allegretto wave the best lasik machine?

Cosmetic Surgery (including facelift/ breast enhancement tummy tuck./lipo/hair transplant/lasik) is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges cosmetic and lasik surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.I have also read that they arrange financing for international patients as cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance in USA or by the stinking NHS in UK

They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star .

My cousin got his lasik surgery and he is more than very happy with the results.He is all praise for this forerunners healthcare companyfor the services they provided her.He paid just 30% of the cost what she was quoted in USA and it was like a wonderful vacation for her.Excellent stay,food, best surgeons-he just couldnt stop talking.hope this helps.I think he paid only 1500$ for which he was quoted 4300$ in USA.
