Laser Eye Treatment
Skibum346:
--- Quote from: "Legionnaire" ---I looked into this earlier this year but my eyes were too bad to have it done although I am not sure I would have fancied it. I looked into it further and in May this year I had my lens's removed and replaced with artificial ones, same operation as for cataracts but with an varifocal lens in.
No glasses, no cataracts in the future, perfect vision and it will always be like this, aparantly (and I know someone this is happening to) with laser the vision can deteriate with age.
Best thing we have spent money on, unbelievable.
If you don't mind me asking.. what kinda ball park figure and where did you get it done..?!

my wife's uncle had it done, his eyes were squint, one was looking one way and the other had different ideas!
they proper watered when he came out of the op as both eyes were fighting to be the primary eyesight instead of working together
seems ok now i guess :)

I know that when i joined the railway, if you had any eye laser surgery done they would not accept you, i dont know why, but luckily as have good sight i did not ask why, Just as a foot note you can wear specs or contacts ok though
SWEETY:
Is it for vison correction or bleeds due to diabeaties :? I may have to have it done because of vains bleeding in my eyes because i'n diabetic :evil: I've been told you can taste the burning in your mouth whilst it's being done :( :( :( If it for vison I would think long & hard as in the USA if you've had it done you can't drive when it gets dark :shock: The reason I say think about it, it's incase they bring that law out over here :roll:
Thrasher:
There are two types of treatment, I am looking to get the "bump mapping" or "wave" style that follows the contours - thus stopping problem people got with the "flat" surgery. It's supposed to aid vision when driving at night ;-)
Odd law tho ... how would they know you had had it done?
