Thank you for sharing. I am getting mine done tomorrow. 🤞🏾
@@lwilliams7722 how is your eye sight now? Is it still good?
@@wavydavy8751 it’s the best it’s ever been. My only issue is if I am staring at a screen all day my eyes become much drier than prior to lasik. It’s a quick fix though I just add some drops and I’m good.
Where did you go, who was your Doctor? What state are you in? Please let me know, I'm in Florida.
Did you get Contura?
I just had LASIK on Thursday (today is Sunday). I am so glad I got the surgery!!
That sucks they didn’t give you time for your Valium to kick in. That seems like a poor decision for them also.
My Valium was in full swing when it is was time to go-for better or worse. I told the surgeon he was hot when I walked into the OR. Totally embarrassing. 😅
I got mines done today at lasik place i was so nervous. It was intense i thought i was making a mistake but i had immediate results. Went home my eyes were so irritated i couldn’t even open my eyes. Woke up 4 hours later and i have 20/20. They really don’t tell you what to expect i guess that’s for the best because it’s intense!
I just got it done 2 weeks ago. Only took 15 minutes and it was the best decision. I should of done it a long time ago. Its definitely worth it 💯
May I ask you how much it cost? How long was it until you recovered?
@@joeturner9219 Lasik Institute has a 20% off special and my Insurance covered a extra 5%. ( most insurance will not cover Lasik because its considered a elective procedure) . Total came around to $4000.00. They do have great payment plans. If your credit is decent , you can apply for CareCredit and get a 18 month no interest plan, if you dont want to dish out the cash up front. And I was able to see pretty clear within 1 to 2 days. You do need to avoid direct sunlight for 7 -14 days by wearing shades, keeping your eyes moist by applying eye drop and medicated drops (they supply), prevent rubbing your eyes and not allowing water in your eyes during the first week. During the night , lights have a little halo look but it will take up to 6 months for your eyes to fully heal. Trust me, its worth it. 💯
what was your vision before?
Mines was 3wks 💯
@@joeturner921910-15 minutes procedure the cost varies depending where u live. I live in NY went to dello Russo I paid $4200 it was $4500 but definitely bargained lol and my cousin whose a state trooper talk me into it 😩. It been 3wks now I got it done. My cousin did his 9yrs ago 2014 b4 covid & inflation lol and spent $4k. Everything is HD clear but take the eye drops as recommended & following the instructions for a healing process.
When I woke up the morning after and could see, although a bit blurry at that point, I broke down crying. Best decision ever
You really got me wanting to get LASIK now! Good to know about all the aftercare.
Peter E no problem! Def. Recommend
Omg, your little dance when you could see is sooo heartwarming. 😁 I'm about to do mine this Wednesday. I backed out 5 years ago because I was scared. This was very helpful.
Hey Doll, this was such a great video. I have been wanting Lasik for a while too.
thank you!
Thank you for posting this! I'm getting my Lasik Surgery on Thursday and I'm so nervous and this really helped me alot! I love how realistic you are with your experience.
How did your surgery go? I'm considering it myself.
@@priscillastephens3978 it went really well! It's been over a week. My left eye is still a little blurry but they explained the eye had to stay open longer while using the laser. But everyday it's getting better. At night, driving has been a pain. But otherwise I'm so happy with the results. The surgery itself was the weirdest experience ever lol! But definitely would do it all over again. Thank you for asking :)
Sorry if my last response is posted twice..lol. TH-cam is acting dumb..lol
How did your lasik go man
Thank you so much for giving us your realistic view of the Lasik procedure. I have been wanting Lasik for over 10 years. Even though I've encountered so many real friends that had it done and still have great eyesight. My 87-year-old mom had it done years ago with cataract surgery and just took her for an exam and Daaaaaamn she sees 20/30. I'm so jealous. I'm going to get a couple of consults here in San Antonio, TX. What LasikPlus did you get yours done.
You’re welcome! I got my in Atlanta in Galleria
Thank you for the info, I'm thinking about getting the surgery done myself. You were Brave
Thanks for sharing your experience! Glad you had a successful outcome! My advice to anyone who watches is to read the packet they give you before surgery day because it tells you what you will and will not be able to do after surgery! Example: no swimming or wearing makeup.
Something that most don't know is the price is fluid and can be negotiated. Yes they will initially quote you 4k-6k but I got mine done for $1900 both eye PRK. What I came to understand is certain centers contract a doctor to come in on a certain day to "do the surgery" and they just own the equipment and book clients. What you don't know until you get there is its primarily done by machine and the doctor really just "supervises the machine and preps the eye. The process only takes a few minutes per eye so its in the centers interest to get the most out of their money paid to the doctor. Depending on where you go you will find that its a conveyer belt of clients on surgery day as they try to fit as many as they can in. The lady that did my consultation quoted me around $5500 originally. I told her I had seen an ad online for $800 an eye so I budgeted for that so I'm out. She then dropped the price to $3500 and I repeated that's nice but again I only budgeted for about $2000 out the door so that's where I am. She then agreed to do it for that which surprised me at first until surgery day and I saw how this actually worked. So how are my eyes? I did PRK about 8 years ago and still have 20/20 vision in my left and 20/25 in my right. Due to how poor my right eye was prior to surgery I was told upfront that they were not sure what I would have in my right eye after surgery so together i see just about 20/20. Cons that I've notice is small print that's very close like within a foot or so I have a hard time focusing on with both eyes open. Guessing this is due to the differences in each eye which before surgery I would have both eyes open but move whatever it was I was looking at to be more in alignment with the left eye where now I typically just back up some. The next thing is after surgery if I'm tired or have been drinking at night I get the stars around lights but my vision clear with that exception. Oddly enough I somewhat like this as I use it as a gauge of whether I should be driving or not. LMAO. If I see the stars I stop and get a cup of coffee to wake me up or have someone else drive because I'm intoxicated.
Thanks for the info as I watch this with my coke bottles on. This is on my bucket list for sure!
This was sooo helpful. Thank you so much! 😊
Getting mines tomorrow! Im excited. Thanks for the info💕
Update?
Koda its about a month later and my vision is 20/15. Totally recommend. Recovery was a breeze.
You can feel the pressure but it is nothing bad. It just feels trippy but no pain. The first 3 hours my eyes were weepy and blurry, but almost like a switch I could see. By the next morning I was able to drive myself to my checkup appointment.
For the first week i had halos. But i think it was barely a week because I cant remember when they went away just know they didn’t last long. I got lasik with contura and it cost $4,000 and i got it on carecredit with no interest. Would 100% recommend.
3004ever thank you 🙏 just worried cause I don’t want to have to use glasses or contacts for the rest of my life so this is something I’m going to have to look into deeper.
im just worried of dryness or nerve damage agh if i ever get this
@@Ciaseea I have completed my 20 and just entered 21.. Should I go for LASIK?
Your experience was almost identical to mine. everyone says its painless and you don't feel anything but you definitely do feel lots of pressure and its very uncomfortable.
thank you!! i'm glad i wasn't the only one. but totally worth it in my opinion.
" Thank you for Sharing your Journey to Clear Sight. You did a good job and make me Laugh; Bless You ! "
I'm planning on having this done as soon as I have the money. Btw, you're absolutely beautiful!!
How was it? I’m getting it done Friday.
@@dougharper1492 I haven't had it done yet. I have to save up the money for it first.
OMG the walls being glass!!! that's the craziest shit i've ever heard! i'm glad you liked that about your procedure but tbqh if my operating room had been like that i'd have walked out 😵💫
My appointment for LASIK is tomorrow! I'm also getting it done through LASIK Plus. Thanks for sharing this!
Do not do it i regret
@@osamahshlx8503why
What was he counting down for? I’m confused like was there pressure or something that was uncomfortable? Thank you for sharing your experience ❤️❤️ there aren’t many videos and I’m tired of wearing contacts!!
Thank you for sharing, I am getting my LASIK surgery done next Friday!
John be sure to do your homework first - it doesn't go well for all!
Just wanted to update, after the post ops first day I woke up with 20/20 vision.
Thank you for the info. I appreciate it.
I have my consultation today! Hopefully I can get it done ASAP!
Update please?
@@emmanueljuma5492 best decision of my life!!
@@JessykaBanks_ wow, nice to hear that, and thanks for the quick response. I've been desiring the same, although I had my "whatifs". So let me save for the surgery. :)
Just had mine last week- great experience and no regrets or issues. I did go with my only consult I made (amazing reputation/reviewed place and price- $3200 in LA), but what I didn’t know until my post lasik research is that some bigger places also give lifetime warranties which include enhancements should they ever be needed. Kind of cool perk to have (although I’m sure those places are much pricier), but I guess the need for an enhancement down the line is generally pretty rare- so maybe I didn’t miss out. In any case, very happy with my 20/15 results, and easy process.
I got mine done yesterday at global lasik and cataract In huntington beach.
Lasik $4500 with lifetime assurance
Watched this and just got lasik this week
I want lasik but just as you said there is discomfort. was the discomfort that bad?
Thank you so much for sharing.
Where did you get it done?
Are you in Canada ? I’m getting it done in September in Winnipeg. Ottawa-Winnipeg is 400$ difference . Winnipeg is 400$ more for some reason . I live in Ontario. I am choosing to get it done in Winnipeg as the surgeon working the day in sept in Winnipeg is more experienced ! Do you have a discount code ? Thank you
Do you have a coupon code for the surgery ?
Thank you so much! I have been debating getting this done! I only have one eye that needs to be done the other has 20/20 vision! Did you get this done in Atlanta?
Christy Ragan you’re welcome. And yes, I did!
@@NurseAggz can you give me the information where in Atlanta?
@@ketadavoice2885 lasik plus !
I’m getting my done this Friday I’m call my doctor tomorrow make sure I don’t get those red bruises on my eyes . how long did those red spots go away?
best wishes! they lasted for 3-4 days
Hey 😊 can I ask what you saw when they immediately sat you up ?
blurry like when you go underwayer with googles come back up and its all foggy
I find your experience interesting, I haven't had mine yet but so far I've been told different information! I just had my consult and I have to put in eye drops 4x a day one week before the surgery, and no contacts for a week before the surgery, which you said you didn't have any prep! They also told me for the first 24 hours I just have to stay in a dark room with my eyes shut doing nothing, while you only had to rest for four hours! I wonder why our guidelines are so different despite the same company.
Hello love your video, Where did you get your lasik done?, thinking about getting the procedure
LASIKPlus in Atlanta
the only time this surgery has ever sounded like a good idea to me is right now, after several drinks. I kind of get it now
Hello! How did the Valium feel? I know you said it hit you hard after but what about during? I requested two. I’m so nervous 😩
during i didn't really feel it. i just felt really sleepy afterward. you'll be fine and love the results
NurseAggz NurseAggz thank you! Would you after to say waiting 30 minutes after consuming the pill would help me become really relaxed? I’m scared I’ll jolt and squirm lol
@@arivvlogs6413 yea 15-30 minutes. you won't because if you're like me youll be too nervous youll mess up what they're doing to your eyes lol you'll be fine!
NurseAggz thank you so much
I had my lasik a week before but i see a little blurry, got 6/6 vission but its still blurry feels like i have applied lenses so when will this blurriness go?
Pls help
another part of the prep is you cannot wear contacts before hand!
For how long did you have blurry visions, halos in the night, etc? I am still in my fourth day after surgery and I have blurry vision
By the time I woke up from my 4hr nap the blurry vision was gone.
Hey! Did you vision get better?
Hey do you still have blurry vision and halos ? How is it now?
Hi!! I’m suppose to be getting mine done sometime in April well hopefully with what’s going on around the world who knows. I’m over 50 I’m jus tired of corks ya and glasses for so many years. I keep reading how I shouldn’t do it or see videos on people who has had bad experiences. I guess that brings me down a little bit all I can do is pray and hope for the best.
i think it's a wonderful investment and that you'll love it. best wishes!
NurseAggz thank you!
Were you able to get the surgery? My husband is your age and just got his done last week and lost his ability to see close up. They told him he would need reading glasses but he can't even see arms length away. He's very upset since his job requires him to see close up and he wouldn't have gotten it done if he had known. How was your experience?
Star Davis hi, yes I had it done a month ago and the first day was kinda bad since I have sensitive eyes and so i was tearing all day till next day. I got my distance sight back and regarding close up or reading I still need glasses to see very small prints but I can get away for the most part without glasses. My left eye was actually worse than the right eye before surgery cuz when I wore contacts I was seeing little blurry. After surgery my left eye when it gets dry it will be blurry all day therefore I have to add eye drops all time. I think over all I’m happy with it I see halos at night but I can deal with that. Regarding your husband that doesn’t sound normal if you say he can’t see too well but also know that we are still in healing process even after months of it. He should get better he does have to keep adding drops as that helps the blurry part at least for me. He should talk to Drs they should still see him for and update on how he’s doing. I know for me they said they wanted to monitor my left eye but I will manage how it is now because I will not go do this again. I hope he gets better let me know how it goes but again he is still healing from it.
@@cupcake2023.. thanks so much! This helps a lot. He will give it some time to heal.
please send me the info of the doctor for lasik thanks
Hello. I just watched your video. How are you still doing since having your lasik?
I’m loving it. Best decision ever !
Just had mine done on Saturday, how is your recovery overall?
Did u get blade less or traditional? How much u pay
@@ygbodybuilder3023 I had bladeless and paid $4,200
@@laquishasmith2938 are you happy with it
I'm getting LASIK on Friday the 25th at the same office you were at. Atlanta, right?
yup! how'd it go?!
Hey how did it go?
How are your eyes now ?
I’m curious to know what your vision was before, my eyes are -7
Me too, I would like to know her prescription before Lasik. Mines is -10.50😣
what if you have to blink or if the eyes start watering up that’s what’s scares me the most about it
Your eyes are held open so you can’t blink.
I can’t not blink for almost 5 minites
They will put drops to numb your eyes and then place ring around them to hold up the eyelids. You will not feel anything and cannot blink during the procedure.
Does anyone else feel afraid of being able to see 2020? Lol I’m so used to being blind..like will I panic now I can see all the time??
Lol I’m scared I’ll think I have my contacts in and poke my eye out
@@Jllawrence24 lol
Girl I had the same exact experience as you, I was scared as fuck but in my head I’m like don’t move bitch you gonna fuck it up😂😂😂😂😂
I don’t think I was breathing during mine😂😂😂
I'm scheduled this Friday for my lasik. My moms a nurse and wants it. Where did u go?
Where did you go?
Wat city are u in and how much
Atlanta. 3k I believe
I'm thinking of getting lasik when im older but im still scared that something will go wrong and ill regret it 😓😓
DON'T get Lasik or any other unregulated refractive eye ops because they're Russian Roulette anywhere!
I'm in Ohio. Can I still refer you at the location here??
Soon-To-BSN send me a direct message!
Did u get blade less or traditional
What!!!!
@@chrisistired6083 google
Most is bladeless now. Traditional is like so 10+ years ago
omg can you see clearly or not you literally didnt mention that in the video at all.
Omg yes I can
I really just wanted to know how the surgery felt.
i pinned the time stamps below
no rubbing eyes and not washing them for a whole weak 🤯 HOW!?
Omg so weird seeing you at the store without a
Mask pre COVID 😂😂
I did it it ruined my life i had a severe dry eyes
Hi Youssef sorry to hear that, when did you get lasik done? how did it ruin your life?
It’s running your life i swear
What was your eye glass prescription prior to getting your surgery?
-2.75 and -1.75 I believe
@@NurseAggz okay thank you! I’m -10 so I may need to look into some other options 😭
Lmao how old are u? My eyes went bad at 19 suddenly while in chemistry class. I cant see anything at night all the lights glare at me 😭 im nearsighted with a slight astigmatism in one of my eyes
Did you tell your optometrist that it was due to something that happened in a chem class cause 👀
Same here I’m high school in science I was like the fuck eyes went blurry been wearing glasses ever since 11th grade year.
She cute
.."It was the ghetto??".. huh...
Keesh73 in other words, having poor vision sucks lol
@@NurseAggz oh 🤷♀️..
Some people say that it ruined their life. Other people say that it’s the best thing they’ve done.
I think it’s a luck thing.
It’s a 50- 50 success rate.
Yeah it's really scary, honestly don't know if it's worth the risk
BellTastic Art ITS NOT, trust me.
EmyyWolf why not? Did you get it done
LOL 50/50?!
People are more likely to post when something is negative.
What are the risk? I've known a few ppl who got it done and are happy
Did you blink?
No they keep your eyes open.
What happens if you do blink?
@@southlondon2met678 they keep your eyes open
@@NurseAggz alright thanks for answering.
@@NurseAggz what happens if you try to blink like does it mess up anything
