Got this done yesterday and it's life changing. The first 4 hours post-op were very uncomfortable after the local anesthesia wore off but then it rapidly healed and I was able to do everything without any problems. Waking up this morning with 10/10 vision was amazing, I can't believe I can see normally without thinking about it
Thanks for sharing. I had this procedure earlier today. I agree that the first few hours post-op were definitely very uncomfortable, like having a continual stream of lemon juice squirted into both eyes. :D My vision is already a lot better than it was before, and I hope to wake up 10/10 like you did tomorrow!
I have a question. After surgery when You look in the mirror do you think you find yourself looking more weird like you got bigger eyes lips nose etc? cause that's me with glasses and I ain't even that blind but I put on my glasses and look in the mirror and I'm like yoo tf.
@@xchino0427 I started wearing glasses when I was 17, I'm 26 now and just got my surgery 3 days ago. Glasses definitely change the perception of your face, be it because of the optics of the glasses or just the frame being in front of your face. I personally feel like I went back to being myself, at least more like I was when I was 16, which feels niiiice lol
He’s like the Bob Ross of eye surgeons. “Just a happy little light there, just look beyond that happy light to infinity.. or your happy place.. this is your perfect little world”..
Waking up the next day with crystal HD vision and finally being able to see the alarm clock, knowing that I will be late to work, is the best feeling in the world
Completely awesome! I have it scheduled for January and sooooo nervous. I love how this doctor used positive words every second because any silence and my mind will think something went wrong.
I had my done last November 2019. It's now been a year for me and I would do it again! Yes, I was nervous, but when it's happening, just listen to the doctor's voice, stay as still and calm as possible. It is over super fast. You'll do great!
Make sure you do ALOT of research. Lasik ruined my life and I went to one of the best doctors. If you get floaters and dry eyes, your life will be HELL.
Had both eyes done by Professor Dan yesterday & I'm writing this without having to wear glasses for the first time in 25 years. An amazing experience from start to finish and Dan knows how to keep things completely chilled and relaxed. I honestly didn't feel a thing, no pain at all. Already totally life-changing a little over 24 hours post operation. I knew Prof Dan was the best in the business so was completely relaxed and this may sound weird but I couldn't wait to get started and found the whole experience fascinating as it moved along... no discomfort at all, and it was all over as quickly as it began. Professor Dan and the whole team are amazing, relentless with their testing pre op and on the phone checking up on you after. If you have the opportunity to work with this remarkable team, grab it with both hands, you will thank me, and of course huge thanks to the Sax playing master of ceremonies himself, Professor Dan. A Wonderful experience... From Mark S
How much you payed any side effects is for all life?? Where y from friend im 20 years miophia guy feel soo bad 20 YESRS WITH GLASS make me sad depressed here brazil south america didnt find trustfull doctor that do this im cant due lasik laser surgery as my cornea is so small i have cornea problem im 4 miophia both eyes and 1 stigamastim im a candidant to the surgery as my miophia eyes condition talking to you??
@@hanionline563 You only have to do eye drop regimens for about a week. I had the surgery over a decade ago, and haven’t had to use drops whatsoever this whole time after that week.
I just had my Lasik surgery yesterday. My doctor was exactly the same way as this Doctor. I had really bad anxiety, but she certainly relaxed the heck out of me. No pain at all.
Did you were so freaking scared before the surgery? Because I'm having it on Friday but i'm so stressed, scared and nervous because of my eye anxiety, i'm crying
@@sandro327 perfect! The doctor gave me pills to relax me and it was very fast. I just had to look at some orange light. I didn’t realized when they made the cut on my eye as the first step on the video, i’m amazed with the results
@@ellifsyaa it was very fast! I was very scared and my doctor gave me pills to relax me. It wasn’t painful, it was just a bit uncomfortable when they make you open the eye, but out of it, it was very quick and good
I had lasik done 3 weeks ago. They give you a chill pill and throw numbing drops in your eye before hand. There were like 3 or 4 doctors speaking to me the whole way through it, and they had slow country music playing in the background
I definitely recommend lasik guys. The first month is kind of a pain, with being sensitive to light and having dry eyes all the time. But if you can get through that first month, its totally worth it. Best decision I've ever made
@@ZombiegirlPlayz I postponed it, just in case there was some difficulties after the surgery, I wanted to be able to be seen (So waiting until after the Holidays!)
@@ThinkingCap_ please don’t do it. If you get any complication after Lasik, you life will be hell. All these doctors say it’s safe, they lie because they want you money. Please do a lot of research, and read all the horror stories and lives ruined because of Lasik.
@@deepakp716 Schedule an appointment with your eye doctor. They'll tell you whether you're a good candidate for it and if not they may be able to give you a good alternative.
I've already had this done and my toes are CURLING at this procedure!!! I can't believe it. But I also love how calming the doctor is! I had a nurse sing to me to keep me calm!
@@ellifsyaa You could probably sue the shit out of the hospital and if they make a mistake it Amy only be in one eye. So partial blindness, with clear vision and lots of money.
LOVE this real-time video. It is hard to explain to patients what actually happens during LASIK. This step-by-step video is just what's needed in the You-niverse :)
@@ThinkingCap_ Hi Otto. It went perfectly. A nurse gave me antihistamine eye drops and 2 Valium tablets to dissolve under my tongue. I sat in an exam room for about 40 minutes to let them kick in. I went into surgery seeing 20/425. They put in numbing drops. The worst part was the pressure seal to cut the flap. It wasn’t horrible. The laser flashing was loud like jumper cables touching/sparking for about 20 seconds. I could smell a burnt oil smell for a few seconds (my eye lens). Immediately after it was like walking in heavy bright fog. The immediate eye pain that followed wasn’t too unbearable. I took some ibuprofen and took a 2-hour nap. 24 hrs later I was seeing 20/40, still hazy/foggy. Now 47 hrs later I’m seeing 20/25 and the hazy/foggy/halo effects are still here but they’re slowly decreasing. Probably TMI but I hope it helps.
@@WanderingWestbays Not TMI at all, thank you so much for taking the time to write that out for me. Sounds like you had a positive experience. My eyes are 20/20 but I have two major astigmatisms and it's quite bothersome... I postponed my surgery for after the Holidays just in-case I need further examinations! Thank you again!
I love the running commentary, it really does help when going through the process. Even down to when a little pain or uncomfortable situations are coming. Great walk through!
I had the exact same procedure done today, using a slightly different device. Recovering surprisingly fast, though I'm typing this while wearing sunglasses. There is still significant glare around bright lights but this is expected. The procedure was almost entirely paintless, but the LASIK machine does exert significant pressure on the eyes and while bearable, this is definitely uncomfortable. In my experience, the most unpleasant part of the ordeal were the 2 - 3 hours immediately following surgery. Once the painkillers start wearing off it feels like you're cutting onions while getting lemon juice squirted into your eyes. During this time I found it difficult to even open my eyes. Fortunately this sensation only lasts a couple of hours, after which most irritation will subside and vision will noticeably improve. Its been only 5 hours and my vision is already substantially better than it has been over the past 25 years. So far so good!
Hey I noticed it’s been a month after your lasik. How’s your vision? Did your vision eventually became clear and sharp? Or do you still see a bit hazy? I have a week since I did my surgery, I probably see about 90% better but I don’t see things as clear/sharp which makes me a bit dizzy and I’m getting a lot of headaches.
@@isabelcampos6152 I assume that you also get periodic checkups? The optometrist or eye surgeon should inspect your eyes during regular follow-ups. I got checked 1 day post-op, 1 week and 1 month to monitor the healing process. Next checkup will be at 3 months post-op, 6 months and 1 year. Recovery speed can vary from person to person. It depends on the type of treatment you had, your age, your eye properties, the amount of correction and a number of other factors. It can even vary a lot between the left and right eye. My right eye recovered faster than my left eye and vision in that eye was at 120% within a day. My left eye was at 90% and blurry. It took about a week before its vision was similar to my right eye. I had another test done today (4 weeks post-op) and vision in both eyes was measured at 140% (this is related to eye resolution, basically our ability to distinguish small details). There's an important thing to note here: LASIK surgery does not improve this resolution, it corrects astigmatism and myopia, which allows you to see to the full potential of your eyes. My corrected vision before treatment was measured at 150%, so for it to be uncorrected at 140% now suggests that it is almost fully healed. The only noticeable symptom is that my eyes are a little dry and still require several artificial tear drops ever day. This could last another few months. To answer your question: my vision is now sharp and clear. It took about a week to 'clear up', but for some people this can take longer, up to a month or more. Generally, the older you are, the longer it takes to heal. Its very important to stick to your artificial tear & antibiotic eye drop schedule. If one or both eyes are under/over-corrected, then this should be apparent by 6 months, and additional treatment might be needed. This is very unlikely, but its possible. There's no way to tell until your eyes are fully healed.
@@TehNetherlands hi, now that's been quite a bit more time, how are things going with your vision? I'm trying to learn how common night glare and halos are, before getting it done myself. have you experienced them before? And if so, did they go away?
Are you able to take something like Tylenol to lessen the pain those 2-3 hours after surgery? I'm thinking about the possibility of getting it, I mean, it's an option I can take, but I very well might not do it for one reason or another
Getting mine done in a few weeks. But after watching this, if I hear my doc continuously say "perfect, great, beautiful, super, very good, excellent, fantastic." over and over I won't be able to stop wanting laugh thanks to this video.
I had my LASIK surgery done early this week and I'm thrilled with the results! It's amazing how quickly the recovery is now! Pretty much a day or two and you're pretty good!
I just got this surgery done today, and it was the best. No pain at all. I got home, took a nap, and when i woke up my vision was 20/20 and no pain nor discomfort at all.
@@amirs3739 amazing! Just over 3 weeks post surgery and the results are life changing. Cheesy as it sounds but the world looks so much more beautiful than it did before lol.
@@jimmydiaz1502 as cheesy as it sounds, don’t you think everything looks so much more beautiful? I really have a whole new appreciation of my local park now and just peoples facial expressions. It’s truly life changing!
@@eg1608 well, I felt that when I first started wearing glasses about 9 years ago, the world simply became clearer, more real, for my entire life I believed that everything had that blurry shadow (I had astigmatism) and that was that, then I saw the truth :D
This doctor must be the life of all the parties he goes to. Doctor: "I'm going to make you a rum and coke. Here we go, hold your glass still. Perfect. Good. Fantastic. Wonderful. Beautiful. One more drop of rum here, very good. That's beautiful. Super. In comes the coke. Everything goes a bit blurry. Perfect. Perfect. Super. Keep looking straight at the glass, there will be a red light. Excellent. Perfect. Super. Great. Good job. Alright we're done! You're going to be super drunk here in a bit! Now we're going to close the bottles up. Super excellent. Fantastic job!" Stranger he just made the drink for: "did he just talk the rum and coke through being poured into the glass? Wtf is wrong with this guy?"
@@tathagatasinha959 i had done it 7 years ago the main complication is dry eyes and undercorrection or overcorrection which will require you to wear glasses again!
Exactly how my procedure went last week, everything went smooth and fast, the assistant was doing all the calm and relaxing talk which helps stay calm. Now I got 20/15 vision, best decision ever done
I got lasik yesterday and mu doctor talked to me like this the whole way lol i loved it .. they gave mr pills to relax me, put me in a massage chair to wait and during the surgery they gave me a heated blanket.. they say it takes 6-8 minutes per eye but it felt super quick and after that 1st day my eyes feel normal already 💕
How is it now? I see complaints about halos, night glare, floaters, etc. But most of the time it's from people who get the surgery years ago so idk if modern tech reduces the risk from then.
Night halos arent bad it doesn’t bother me at all..my eyes get dry sometimes at night so i use drops but thats really it.. i have 20/20 vision and absolutely no regrets
@@taytayluvz94 well from what I understand it seems to go away after some months had passed. At least that's what I've found so far, but thanks for your response. Been seriously considering the surgery.
Hi, I am getting my surgery in two days. I am extremely nervous that my eyes will get dry and I will get that feeling like when you are having a staring contest. Is that something I have to worry about?
I got mine done yesterday and I'm so glad I did it. I can actually see the spots on the moon now. I can see license plate tags while driving and read street signs. My right eye is still slightly blurry but its still 99.9999% clearer than it was before and it hasn't even been 24 hours yet so the Doctor told me that it will get better as the eye heals.
I had LASIK done yesterday at a clinic here in Washington (just here to see if others had uploaded their actual footage, as I might). It was an incredible experience. Less than 24 hours later I already have 20/15 vision (objects 20 feet away have the clarity of something 15 feet away). The first hour after was rough, but they suggested I take a nap. Sure enough, I awoke 2 hours later and felt great.
I had my LASIK done about 5 days ago. Barring one of the most painful 2 hours post surgery, everything is now absolutely fine and I can see better than 20/20 vision (had an eye test). Lots of hazing at first but that's decreasing each day. I'm very sorry to hear of others who have had a bad reaction to the surgery. Mine has been a really good one.
I love listening to this doctor. He is so calm. I'm getting this procedure in a few hours so I am glad to see the process. Looks pretty straightforward.
I just had mine done today and I didn't watch videos like this before hand because I knew it would make me nervous. but let me reassure you it really is completely painless, nothing to fear.
@@5point093 exactly me too. I know watch after I’ve done lasik. My advice, after all your appointments and consultations once you’ve made up your mind get off the internet! Lol. I also didn’t even tell my loved ones until the week before my lasik was booked
Go to an all laser lasik center. Newer technologies allow for the flap to be created using a laser instead of surgeons hand. This allows for a cleaner cut that reduces the risks of side effects
I had my lasiks Surgery 3 weeks ago and it was fantastic. My best investment so far so good. My eyes are basically 3D and am not even struggling with dry eyes. Am glad I had the courage to do it.
had mine done in 2008 and it was the best decision I ever made. I literally couldn't see anything without glasses. I still have 20/15 vision to this day! no regression yet.
Hello, I had my surgery two days ago and I´m really enthused by the results. I can see better than I ever could with glasses or contacts. If you´re a good candidate and you struggle everyday with your vision, go for it. It is not that scary as it looks and it´s absolutely worth it. I´m glad I did it as soon as I could, for I´m currently 19 yo. Best wishes for a quick and easy recovery if you are going to get lasik. Just make sure you´re in good hands as I was :)
Having had rather poor vision my entire life ever since I was a child, this simultaneously scares the shit out of me and excites me to no end. To know that its possible for me to actually get normal vision is just mindblowing to me. Ive never had it. The closest Ive been was trying contact lenses, but I never got past wearing just one as I just couldnt get them on and off. Just the one good eye without glasses was amazing. I dont know what it feels like to have good vision on both eyes. Im pretty sure I would start crying. Im also pretty sure I would start crying just before going in. Because of my poor vision, Im also extremely scared of making it any worse. Its honestly the thing I fear most. But I think Im going to schedule an appointment soon. I feel like I should.
Mine was 3 minutes per eye. I was out so fast that my husband thought I changed my mind. I had worn glasses since the age of 5. It truly was a miracle for me.
@@amberotl5276 Yes, I had astigmatism. That is why the doctor said I was a perfect candidate. The last time I priced a pair of glasses it was over $700, and that was just the one pair, I also had prescription sunglasses. My surgery has now paid for itself.
I just had this done. It went really smoothly and I felt no pain at all; even post op. Now my vision is better than 20/20…. It was well worth the 10 mins of discomfort (surgery).
I just had the surgery yesterday. This is amazing to see from this POV. It went just a shown on the video. BUT a little rough if you are claustrophobic during COVID-19. I wanted to panic because I didn't want to accidentally move my eye and ruin everything. A lot of mental pressure mixed with the eye being physically restrained. Wearing a mask didn't help the situation since it made it harder to breathe. I had to "man-up" and remained relaxed as possible. My eye is still healing (day2). Nothing out of the ordinary. An amazing outcome compared to decades of wearing contacts/eye glasses.
@@SmileSpiritual Unfortunately, it seems they don't cover that. Well TBH I didn't research my plan very long to find any possible work-around at the time. Which I really should have done. The place I went to gave a $1000 discount (which could have been marketing BS) which brought the total around $3,750 I had to pay out-of-pocket.
I just had my 2nd eye surgery on Halloween, and i was completely knocked out. The same with my 1st eye 2 weeks earlier. I am so glad i was not awake!!!
I wish you guys included an end part of the video where he tells us how much nicer it is to have perfect vision again, and how amazing it is. Just wanna see their reaction after honestly
Had LASIK today for my right eye. The ONLY thing that hurt was when they put the microscope on my eye. The pressure was unbearable and I was about to scream from the pain, but I held it together and the rest of the surgery took about 2 minutes pain free 😙. Hoping the results will be great!
@@milena_m I think he means the pressure of this huge machine in his bones/nose because of his anatomy. I had the same exprerience , the pain was affordable, and lasted for a couple of minutes. There is no pain in the eye during the surgery
Just had this done, pretty much exactly the same as shown here. No pain, definitely scary from a claustrophobia kind of vibe, but thinking back to this video made it all the more easy since I could recall what was happening and remind myself that it was no big deal. In its own way, it was kind of cool-the kind of stuff you "see" as its happening. And now I see like...perfectly. It's the most bizarre crap ever, haha.
Wow, I’m considering getting this surgery when I’m 21-23. My mom got lasik a few years ago and she’s been happy with her eyesight ever since. The whole process looks clean cut, I just hope I won’t panic at my sight going fuzzy.
It’s always amazing how a surgeon can multi task. Talk to patients to make them comfortable, have steady hands while doing that and completing the procedure with a few swift movement .
that’s amazing! my scripts are like -9.5 and -8.75 and my surgery is january 29th. i told the surgeon i would be happy if i had 50% improvement and could function without glasses and she assured me there was around a 95% chance i would be at 20/20 or better after the surgery
@@jaymek8282 my friend who had it done at the same place was -9.0 and she's 20/20 or better. It really is life changing!! I'm sure you'll be able to ditch the glasses. How excited are you? Take Tylenol PM before you go in for the procedure. trust me!!! I cried when I woke up and saw the TV clearly 😭
@@specfei9895 the prices are on a tiered system based on your RX. Of course mine fell into the most expensive category and was just under $4K. Most places have various payment plan options and EyeMed insurance will cover $800. I used sunglasses for the entire first day/night bc i was sensitive to light even inside.
No it didn’t.they completely numb your eyes so you really don’t feel anything at all. I went home and went straight to sleep. I would imagine if you didn’t do this it probably would bc you really need the shut eye to heal your cornea.
What happens if he moves his eye during the laser process? When I had mine done they used a suction that put pressure on my eye so I couldn’t move it if I wanted.
The machine they used for my surgery tracks the eye in all spatial dimensions at very high temporal resolution (>1khz). Even the slightest micrometre-scale movement will get detected and compensated for. Also keep in mind that your head is fixated and the device applies significant pressure to your eye to keep it from moving. To give you an idea of the accuracy by which it tracks: I could not wear a covid-mask because the turbulence of the warm air behing exhaled along the edge of the mask will be detected by the machine, so it will refuse to engage the laser due to this miniscule disturbance. These machines have extremely low tolerances by which they operate.
@@leviathandrumming2175 it uses the suction cup for flap creation but not for the part where the laser corrects the cornea. There's nothing holding your eye still during that part, although like the commenter above mentioned, the machine is tracking your eye
As much as I’d like to praise the doctor for impeccable performance of the task hand - the amount of times he said “perfect” and “super” started to get to me after the first few minutes
@@lanetteb8744 it’s actually been almost 3! My surgery went quite well! I have almost 20/20 vision now! Sometimes one of my eyes has slightly blurry vision cause I had more myopia on that one. The surgery was a little uncomfortable, the recovery was super quick. The next day I could already see almost perfect ! I had some “bruising” on the white parts of my eyes but it went away after 2 weeks
Just had this done today, and can already see much better although still a tad blurry. But zero pain. So fascinating getting to see what was actually done!
I had lasik done. They usually give you a relaxer like valium first, then they set you down, strap your head to the table, then tape the other eye and clamp open the operating eye, then apply the suction to the eye, then proceed to laserly attack your corneal surface until its reshaped.
I still have shivers down my spine whenever I think about someone operating on my eyes, even though many sources claim that LASIK isn't painful at all. Partly because of a horrible experience back when I was a kid. If I remember correctly, my parents took me to an ophthalmologist to have an eyelid cyst removed. I can't remember if he used an anesthetic on me or not because I was so young, but I do remember that I had a meltdown in the operation room. I was hurt both physically and mentally. I was crying, screaming, and everything. He claimed that I can be distracted from the pain if he kept talking to me. Excuse me? I wasn't even ten years old back then. Who in the right mind would think that a distraction talk can suppress pain?
Ah shit I'm so sorry to hear about your experience :( The doctor was certainly wrong here, these procedures arent supposed to hurt at all & I too had an experience with a tooth temporary implant where the doc accidently sprayed less anesthesia than needed. Hope you're doing well now!
10 years ago, eye surgery was a whole different thing. It was a very experimentation type of procedure for alot of doctors and risks were pretty high. Now a days they have pretty much perfected it and you shouldn't feel nothing.
The thing I worry about is what if you accidentally look in a different direction while he’s cutting your eye or during the laser or what if you have to sneeze
I was worried about that too, then found out they use a suctioner that prevents you from moving it, and even if they dont the machines have an eye tracking device that stops the laser if the eye moves the slightest bit and then resumes in the same exact place, it would make sense they thought of that :)
@@BardiXOfficial no dont worry, important to voice your concern to your doctor, although my doctor didnt use the suctioner and i would sometimes twitch, the laser always stopped when my eyes moved, also the numbing drops make it easier to relax and not move your eyes, im 6 months post op and im pretty happy with the results.
I have to get this done but I’m terrified. I cannot stand the thought of this at all. The inability to blink, the random objects touching my eye, the sharp objects going into my eye (probably because I’m scared of needles). Edit: after watching this I’m no longer scared haha.
I got it done 11 years ago its great i cant see as well as i did then but i still see good never even got any touchups get it done its life changing. GET IT!

@@davidr.4916 I believe thats what it was
I definitely recommend lasik guys. The first month is kind of a pain, with being sensitive to light and having dry eyes all the time. But if you can get through that first month, its totally worth it. Best decision I've ever made

Hey Cody, I am getting mine in two weeks and super nervous.. How did yours go?
@@ThinkingCap_ Hi Otto. It went perfectly. A nurse gave me antihistamine eye drops and 2 Valium tablets to dissolve under my tongue. I sat in an exam room for about 40 minutes to let them kick in. I went into surgery seeing 20/425. They put in numbing drops. The worst part was the pressure seal to cut the flap. It wasn’t horrible. The laser flashing was loud like jumper cables touching/sparking for about 20 seconds. I could smell a burnt oil smell for a few seconds (my eye lens). Immediately after it was like walking in heavy bright fog. The immediate eye pain that followed wasn’t too unbearable. I took some ibuprofen and took a 2-hour nap. 24 hrs later I was seeing 20/40, still hazy/foggy. Now 47 hrs later I’m seeing 20/25 and the hazy/foggy/halo effects are still here but they’re slowly decreasing. Probably TMI but I hope it helps.
@@ThinkingCap_ what is the cost???
@@WanderingWestbays Not TMI at all, thank you so much for taking the time to write that out for me. Sounds like you had a positive experience. My eyes are 20/20 but I have two major astigmatisms and it's quite bothersome... I postponed my surgery for after the Holidays just in-case I need further examinations! Thank you again!
@@ThinkingCap_ how did it go Otto?
I hope my dr is as relaxing as this doctor is. What a great Dr to have!
I love the running commentary, it really does help when going through the process. Even down to when a little pain or uncomfortable situations are coming. Great walk through!
I had the exact same procedure done today, using a slightly different device. Recovering surprisingly fast, though I'm typing this while wearing sunglasses.
There is still significant glare around bright lights but this is expected.
The procedure was almost entirely paintless, but the LASIK machine does exert significant pressure on the eyes and while bearable, this is definitely uncomfortable.
In my experience, the most unpleasant part of the ordeal were the 2 - 3 hours immediately following surgery. Once the painkillers start wearing off it feels like you're cutting onions while getting lemon juice squirted into your eyes. During this time I found it difficult to even open my eyes. Fortunately this sensation only lasts a couple of hours, after which most irritation will subside and vision will noticeably improve.
Its been only 5 hours and my vision is already substantially better than it has been over the past 25 years. So far so good!
Hey I noticed it’s been a month after your lasik. How’s your vision? Did your vision eventually became clear and sharp? Or do you still see a bit hazy? I have a week since I did my surgery, I probably see about 90% better but I don’t see things as clear/sharp which makes me a bit dizzy and I’m getting a lot of headaches.
@@isabelcampos6152 I assume that you also get periodic checkups? The optometrist or eye surgeon should inspect your eyes during regular follow-ups. I got checked 1 day post-op, 1 week and 1 month to monitor the healing process. Next checkup will be at 3 months post-op, 6 months and 1 year.
Recovery speed can vary from person to person. It depends on the type of treatment you had, your age, your eye properties, the amount of correction and a number of other factors. It can even vary a lot between the left and right eye.
My right eye recovered faster than my left eye and vision in that eye was at 120% within a day. My left eye was at 90% and blurry. It took about a week before its vision was similar to my right eye.
I had another test done today (4 weeks post-op) and vision in both eyes was measured at 140% (this is related to eye resolution, basically our ability to distinguish small details).
There's an important thing to note here: LASIK surgery does not improve this resolution, it corrects astigmatism and myopia, which allows you to see to the full potential of your eyes.
My corrected vision before treatment was measured at 150%, so for it to be uncorrected at 140% now suggests that it is almost fully healed.
The only noticeable symptom is that my eyes are a little dry and still require several artificial tear drops ever day. This could last another few months.
To answer your question: my vision is now sharp and clear. It took about a week to 'clear up', but for some people this can take longer, up to a month or more. Generally, the older you are, the longer it takes to heal.
Its very important to stick to your artificial tear & antibiotic eye drop schedule.
If one or both eyes are under/over-corrected, then this should be apparent by 6 months, and additional treatment might be needed. This is very unlikely, but its possible.
There's no way to tell until your eyes are fully healed.
@@TehNetherlands hi, now that's been quite a bit more time, how are things going with your vision? I'm trying to learn how common night glare and halos are, before getting it done myself. have you experienced them before? And if so, did they go away?
Are you able to take something like Tylenol to lessen the pain those 2-3 hours after surgery? I'm thinking about the possibility of getting it, I mean, it's an option I can take, but I very well might not do it for one reason or another

I got lasik yesterday and mu doctor talked to me like this the whole way lol i loved it .. they gave mr pills to relax me, put me in a massage chair to wait and during the surgery they gave me a heated blanket.. they say it takes 6-8 minutes per eye but it felt super quick and after that 1st day my eyes feel normal already 💕
How is it now? I see complaints about halos, night glare, floaters, etc. But most of the time it's from people who get the surgery years ago so idk if modern tech reduces the risk from then.
Night halos arent bad it doesn’t bother me at all..my eyes get dry sometimes at night so i use drops but thats really it.. i have 20/20 vision and absolutely no regrets
@@taytayluvz94 well from what I understand it seems to go away after some months had passed. At least that's what I've found so far, but thanks for your response. Been seriously considering the surgery.
Hi, I am getting my surgery in two days. I am extremely nervous that my eyes will get dry and I will get that feeling like when you are having a staring contest. Is that something I have to worry about?
They will get dry and be light sensitive especially in the beginning but the drops help. The dryness was never unbearable and it does go away
I got mine done yesterday and I'm so glad I did it. I can actually see the spots on the moon now. I can see license plate tags while driving and read street signs. My right eye is still slightly blurry but its still 99.9999% clearer than it was before and it hasn't even been 24 hours yet so the Doctor told me that it will get better as the eye heals.
Do you mind me asking, did your insurance cover your lasik? Mine doesn't, but my insurance isn't great, so I'm thinking about switching.
I had LASIK done yesterday at a clinic here in Washington (just here to see if others had uploaded their actual footage, as I might). It was an incredible experience. Less than 24 hours later I already have 20/15 vision (objects 20 feet away have the clarity of something 15 feet away). The first hour after was rough, but they suggested I take a nap. Sure enough, I awoke 2 hours later and felt great.
I had my LASIK done about 5 days ago. Barring one of the most painful 2 hours post surgery, everything is now absolutely fine and I can see better than 20/20 vision (had an eye test). Lots of hazing at first but that's decreasing each day. I'm very sorry to hear of others who have had a bad reaction to the surgery. Mine has been a really good one.
How exactly does it feel like post surgery 🤔?
@@Muwahid999 apparently its like cutting onions and pouring lemon juice on your eyes
I love listening to this doctor. He is so calm. I'm getting this procedure in a few hours so I am glad to see the process. Looks pretty straightforward.
I can't get over the cutting of the cornea, I want to get lasik done so bad but that just looks so gruesome.
I just had mine done today and I didn't watch videos like this before hand because I knew it would make me nervous. but let me reassure you it really is completely painless, nothing to fear.
I had it done a year ago. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Nothing to worry about. Being able to see is worth being nervous.
Maybe check out SMILE, only a small incision is made, around 4mm
@@5point093 exactly me too. I know watch after I’ve done lasik. My advice, after all your appointments and consultations once you’ve made up your mind get off the internet! Lol. I also didn’t even tell my loved ones until the week before my lasik was booked
Go to an all laser lasik center. Newer technologies allow for the flap to be created using a laser instead of surgeons hand. This allows for a cleaner cut that reduces the risks of side effects

Having had rather poor vision my entire life ever since I was a child, this simultaneously scares the shit out of me and excites me to no end. To know that its possible for me to actually get normal vision is just mindblowing to me. Ive never had it. The closest Ive been was trying contact lenses, but I never got past wearing just one as I just couldnt get them on and off. Just the one good eye without glasses was amazing. I dont know what it feels like to have good vision on both eyes. Im pretty sure I would start crying. Im also pretty sure I would start crying just before going in. Because of my poor vision, Im also extremely scared of making it any worse. Its honestly the thing I fear most.
But I think Im going to schedule an appointment soon. I feel like I should.
Do your research regarding the pros and cons of this procedure and possible future complications ,then choose the right thing...

I wanted to panic because I didn't want to accidentally move my eye and ruin everything. A lot of mental pressure mixed with the eye being physically restrained.

@@specfei9895 the prices are on a tiered system based on your RX. Of course mine fell into the most expensive category and was just under $4K. Most places have various payment plan options and EyeMed insurance will cover $800. I used sunglasses for the entire first day/night bc i was sensitive to light even inside.
This was exactly how my doctor was. So informative and relaxing. I absolutely recommend lasik!
Did it Hurt? pls be honest
No it didn’t.they completely numb your eyes so you really don’t feel anything at all. I went home and went straight to sleep. I would imagine if you didn’t do this it probably would bc you really need the shut eye to heal your cornea.
What happens if he moves his eye during the laser process? When I had mine done they used a suction that put pressure on my eye so I couldn’t move it if I wanted.
Yeah that's my exact concern as well
The machine they used for my surgery tracks the eye in all spatial dimensions at very high temporal resolution (>1khz).
Even the slightest micrometre-scale movement will get detected and compensated for.
Also keep in mind that your head is fixated and the device applies significant pressure to your eye to keep it from moving.
To give you an idea of the accuracy by which it tracks: I could not wear a covid-mask because the turbulence of the warm air behing exhaled along the edge of the mask will be detected by the machine, so it will refuse to engage the laser due to this miniscule disturbance.
These machines have extremely low tolerances by which they operate.
It literally said it was using suction Ib the video dude lol
@@leviathandrumming2175 it uses the suction cup for flap creation but not for the part where the laser corrects the cornea. There's nothing holding your eye still during that part, although like the commenter above mentioned, the machine is tracking your eye

So fascinating getting to see what was actually done!
I had lasik done. They usually give you a relaxer like valium first, then they set you down, strap your head to the table, then tape the other eye and clamp open the operating eye, then apply the suction to the eye, then proceed to laserly attack your corneal surface until its reshaped.
lmao dude like can you suger coat that a little, jeesus your going to scare everyone here.
The way the doctor talk to him, so relaxing, great job
LASIK for ATR astigmatism?
What was your treatment plan for this refraction? Did you over correct?
Yes. I think. Im pretty sure - yes.
This doctor and his bedside manner. Omg it's super, perfect! :) ❤️
I still have shivers down my spine whenever I think about someone operating on my eyes, even though many sources claim that LASIK isn't painful at all. Partly because of a horrible experience back when I was a kid. If I remember correctly, my parents took me to an ophthalmologist to have an eyelid cyst removed. I can't remember if he used an anesthetic on me or not because I was so young, but I do remember that I had a meltdown in the operation room. I was hurt both physically and mentally. I was crying, screaming, and everything. He claimed that I can be distracted from the pain if he kept talking to me. Excuse me? I wasn't even ten years old back then. Who in the right mind would think that a distraction talk can suppress pain?
Ah shit I'm so sorry to hear about your experience :( The doctor was certainly wrong here, these procedures arent supposed to hurt at all & I too had an experience with a tooth temporary implant where the doc accidently sprayed less anesthesia than needed. Hope you're doing well now!
10 years ago, eye surgery was a whole different thing. It was a very experimentation type of procedure for alot of doctors and risks were pretty high. Now a days they have pretty much perfected it and you shouldn't feel nothing.
Great video ! Helps a lot ; I like to know what's going to happen and what's expected of me if I undergo treatment and this really helps to anticipate
The thing I worry about is what if you accidentally look in a different direction while he’s cutting your eye or during the laser or what if you have to sneeze
I was worried about that too, then found out they use a suctioner that prevents you from moving it, and even if they dont the machines have an eye tracking device that stops the laser if the eye moves the slightest bit and then resumes in the same exact place, it would make sense they thought of that :)
@@moesalim5238 thank god for this comment.
@@BardiXOfficial no dont worry, important to voice your concern to your doctor, although my doctor didnt use the suctioner and i would sometimes twitch, the laser always stopped when my eyes moved, also the numbing drops make it easier to relax and not move your eyes, im 6 months post op and im pretty happy with the results.
@@moesalim5238 do you have 20/20 now?
@@moesalim5238 if you don’t mind me asking, how much did the whole thing cost?
I just want to thank this video for helping me prep for my surgery. It went exactly like this one
I have to get this done but I’m terrified. I cannot stand the thought of this at all. The inability to blink, the random objects touching my eye, the sharp objects going into my eye (probably because I’m scared of needles).
Edit: after watching this I’m no longer scared haha.
I got it done 11 years ago its great i cant see as well as i did then but i still see good never even got any touchups get it done its life changing. GET IT!
i’m getting my eyes done this tuesday on the 22nd!!

@@SamillMaldonado
How about a 3 month update? Any complications or negatives?
@@PiousSlayer 3 month update, no negatives that I see so far, at first had trouble adjusting to using the computer again my vision up close but it’s all good now, no more dry eyes, I don’t use the drops anymore.
