Had Lasik Surgery 1 yr ago through LasikMD - Wore Glasses 50% of the time before surgery with no eye issues - seems like I've ended up with almost all of the possible side effects they list in their patient informed consent form plus a number of extras - after surgery here's a list of my problems:
-20/20 vision does not mean better vision, takes much longer to focus now, visual acuity far less than before surgery, night vision problems, contrast sensitivity far less, starburst
-claim that complication rates are only 1-5 percent however I've found out that many studies find that over 50% of patients claim to have some type of problem after surgery
-constant dry eye pain
-can hardly sleep because of eye pain
-fell into a major depression after my Lasik surgery due to numerous issues
-don't blink often enough
-right eye is always strained and puffy
-no more social life, can't stand the eye pain when out at social gatherings
-missed numerous days of work due to unbearable eye pain
-large psychologist bill
-large bill for the vitamins and other supplements needed to control my dry eye symptoms, although its hard to control
-can no longer play contact sports because the corneal flap created during the operation may be disslodged giving me even worse vision
-almost incapable of functioning on any type of usefull manner at work
-constant headaches and eye strain
feeling terrible about my lasik decision,
lasik sucks
