After 5 years of thinking, I got it done yesterday in the Vancouver clinic. I was anxious, but the vacuum part is really the hardest part - especially if you watch all these videos and know what is happening and overthink it like me - but in the end it was quicker than a dentist appointment. Today morning when I went out to the streets to head back to the clinic, it was fantastic: everything became 8K around me. I saw details I couldn't see with my glasses or contact lenses. Now the world is simply beautiful. :) I'm pretty happy with the results. I got my sight back.
@@mixedhookah it was good - like Tibor said, the hardest part is when the microkeratome actually creates the corneal flap (assuming you didn't elect for the all-laser procedure). The surgeon presses pretty dang hard on your eyeball, so hard in fact that I found it a little bit painful, but that particular part only lasts about 20 seconds and the rest is a breeze. My vision is now 20/15 (i.e., better than 20/20), and I used to have a -6.5 prescription. Absolutely life changing - the word "miraculous" even comes to mind. I would strongly recommend it to anyone and everyone who is considering it.
WOW! This doctor and his assistant are fantastic. They work as one. I would not be afraid to have this doctor operate on my eyes after seeing this video. Thank you to the doctor, assistant, and patient for sharing your experience!
The only surgery video in about 200 odd videos that I watched comfortably. The doctor and the lady assistant are doing a superb job, really puts the patient at ease
I love the way you and your nurse work together. I like that you explain to the patient everything that is going on. I hope I find someone like you to perform my surgery.
I had this done twenty years ago, it was the same procedure and I'm 67 now but my eyesight is still 20/20, the results are brilliant, it's like someone is giving you a gift of eyesight
@@yaseralsa9977 I had it done by laser, it took about three minutes with each eye, no pain during the procedure or after it, It was less traumatic than a trip to the dentist
Thats amazing to know please can you tell me at what age did you started to wear and what was your prescription during the lasik ..i heard so much negative about lasik like getting blind dry eyes and so many is it true because i really want to know.
@@safakhan8599 I started wearing glasses at 14 then used contact lenses and at 47 I had laser treatment, my prescription was -5 and -6, I had a stigmatism in both eyes that got corrected with the laser as well as my eyesight. It can't blind you because it doesn't go anywhere near the retina which is the part of the eye that gives you sight, the laser is used on your cornea at the front of your eye, your retina is at the back of the eye, I had dry eye before I had laser done due to wearing contact lenses but it hasn't got any worse through having the treatment, I'm near 69 now and I've recently had an eye test and my sight is still better than 20/20. You will still need reading glasses as you get older because its a muscle at the back of your eye that weakens and you need to wear glasses to compensate that but I only need the reading glasses that you can buy in shops for a couple of pounds I don't get them from the opticians. Hope this helps
For those on the fence and or being afraid, I had it done at the Montreal Clinic, and I'd do it all over again. The doc I had was the other half of the founding members, Dr Demers. Procedure is actually quite an eye opening, pun intended. When he tells you to look at the green light, it is kinda blurry, until he starts the procedure. Then the red laser goes on and the stars it produces is just amazing!!! The only part that I really didn't like, not knowing I was walking into, is seeing all the previous patients in the waiting room. I thought they were all blind from something as they all had the Terminator dark black glasses!!! Other than that, had I known they were just like me the next day, would have calmed my nerves a bit. I actually bought the t-shirt on top of having the procedure done. Was the best 2300$ ever spent. I have to go again i think as I have aged and my eye shape has changed as well. I trust my vision to these guys. You should too. PS: I'm not endorsed by LASIK MD. I bought my own T-shirt, remember???!!! ☺♥
@@MrKekej I think it goes on your vision. A friend of mine had very poor eyesight and one eye was 4200. They have a set minimum range and it goes from there. That was back in 2003 I think.
Going in 2 hrs just to do a lasik surgery in belfast. Hope it goes all well.im so excited after i read all comments about 8k vision . Cant wait to see the world around me again
I just had this done yesterday. Sorry happy with the results so far. Not at this clinic, but so the same. I am happy with it. That being said... Is it just me, or does the doc look like Tony shalhoub from Monk in the thumbnail?

@@georgew7405 really you're not supposed to rub your eyes in general because it can damage your cornea. After Lasik (or any refractive surgery), your cornea has had surgery and thus is still recovering. Rubbing your eyes after surgery can disturb this recovery process. With Lasik the cornea should fully health after a month, whereas PRK will take a bit longer (a few months). Keep in mind that your vision will be perfect during this recovery period.
@@FenderTelecast my vision is about 90% . It's been 6 days from the surgery. Well my vision become perfect after a month? I still see a little bit of blur.
If anyone is considering getting laser eye surgery, please, please think very carefully. The fact is laser eye surgery is extremely dangerous. I've had it done myself and it has ruined my life. Years on, my vision is the worst it has ever been and I am still in pain. In fact, most people who have told me they have had it done, have also had some kinds of problems, many of them serious and life-changing. Research seems to bear this out, suggesting that the majority of patients have some kind of problems. Please take anything you are told by the companies with a pinch of salt. If you are still tempted, make sure you seek advice from an independent optometrist or ophthalmologist who has nothing to gain by you having surgery.
Patient satisfaction as of 2019 is 94% after LASIK surgery according to Refractive Surgery (3rd edition) by Azar, written and edited by MDs. Where are you getting your information from?
Nonsense. I strongly suspect you are being disingenuous and are making this up. I know many people who have undergone LASIK, including myself, and nobody has had any type of issue whatsoever. As always, it is important to get surgery at a reliable, reputable clinic by an experienced eye surgeon using the best available equipment. Complication rate is exceedingly low, and serious complications comprise less than 1 in 1000, most of which are the result of poor after-care. (i.e. people disregarding medical advice)

I'm in Coquitlam and would like to get this surgery soon. How long did it take to get an appointment for surgery?
As I remember I got an appointment maybe next week or the week after.
WOW! This doctor and his assistant are fantastic. They work as one. I would not be afraid to have this doctor operate on my eyes after seeing this video. Thank you to the doctor, assistant, and patient for sharing your experience!
I wasn’t even in surgery and I felt so comfortable!
What a amazing loving care from the doctor and medical assistant. Absolutely awesome!
We love that!
The only surgery video in about 200 odd videos that I watched comfortably. The doctor and the lady assistant are doing a superb job, really puts the patient at ease
Omg! This Dr. is so awesome. Tomorrow I have my preoperative consultation. Let's see how it goes. Fingers cross 🤞
very good , proffesional doctor. he describes everything very good.
I am getting this done on Thursday, I have horrible vision but the doctors seem confident. I am hoping for success.
how'd it go?
How are your eyes now?
I love the way you and your nurse work together. I like that you explain to the patient everything that is going on. I hope I find someone like you to perform my surgery.
I just had my Lasik surgery yesterday with Dr King here in Tukwila, WA. I’m so happy I can see now. The best decision I’ve made
I had this done twenty years ago, it was the same procedure and I'm 67 now but my eyesight is still 20/20, the results are brilliant, it's like someone is giving you a gift of eyesight

The procedure is 2300 in Montreal for everyone or do the price vary on your vision?

@@danyf3116so lucky that i got it done for $550 dollars for both eyes
I'm getting lasik in June and this has made me feel comfortable seeing the whole process
Hey, it's been one year... How was it like??? Did it hurt??? Did you have any secondary effects?
I go in for my surgery on Friday. Seeing it done, I feel more prepared now!
This was my exact experience with getting Lasik done in Miami. Best decision of my life.
Getting this done in 2 weeks...looks easy peasy
Going in 2 hrs just to do a lasik surgery in belfast. Hope it goes all well.im so excited after i read all comments about 8k vision . Cant wait to see the world around me again
how was it
I had this done two days ago(not at this location). The vacuum portion was the freakiest part. It literally blinds you!
@@R3cce definitely better! At first it was 20/20. Now I think it's a little worse than that in one eye, but close.
Omg you made me so comfortable
Like how he's describing every thing he's doing so it's less scary for the patient
I get Lasik in 4 days. Super excited.
So, are you blind now?
How do you feel now? Any complications?
@@NearestGalaxy i suppose he is dead or blind now ...
The doctor is so awsome❤
So sweet of you to say!
thank you so much for the amazing video. ❤. The doctor is down to earth
This dr is AMAZING 😢🎉
Shout-out to the nurses who where really fast, confident and very professional...krep it up..
This is ASMR! I was so relaxed watching this
I just had this done yesterday. Sorry happy with the results so far. Not at this clinic, but so the same. I am happy with it.
That being said... Is it just me, or does the doc look like Tony shalhoub from Monk in the thumbnail?
I'm getting LASIK at a LASIK MD center tomorrow! So excited!
is the patient from this in the comments somewhere? Would love to know whats up with him now 2 years later.
Great video. To have an inside few how its done, what is to expect is extremely thrusting. Thank you for this video. Great job.
It’s fascinating to see a view of the LASIK procedure.
Will this work for a 43 year old with astigmatism? Im sick of contacts
It is possible to have LASIK until 75 years of age and we correct astigmatism.
Great video!
Lovely doctor😊
