    Hi Gina,
    I wanted to ask you a couple questions about your experience with LASEK.
    I had my procedure done 18 days ago at a surgical center in Florida. From this time in the recovery process, what was your experience compared to mine on the following subjects:
    1. Clarity: my right eye seems to be pretty clear but my left eye has this constant haziness. It's not crisp.
    2. Night vision: my vision at night, low light, is really bad. It's extremely blurry and can almost be jarring. Lights have a very large bloom.
    3. Reading on electronic devices: I've noticed that black text on white backgrounds is hardest to see. The effect is similar to all the text having a shadoe

      @drewfsu1 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sorry to just to add...
      4. Visual improvement: after getting the contacts removed my eyesight was awful for a couple days. It then became much clearer. However, over the past week I have seen little to no change in either left or right eye.

    Hi Gina Bear, just curious, maybe I missed your previous video, but why did you choose Lasek over Lasik?

    • @GinaBearsTravels
      @GinaBearsTravels  7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I chose LASEK because your eye completely heals afterward. With LASIK you have a flap and there is a chance it can come undone if you get in an accident, etc.

    • @GinaBearsTravels

      Sometimes you don’t get a choice. When I went for my consultation I didn’t have the choice to get LASIK because my corneas are thin. Because of this I was only eligible for Lasek

  • @DannyTillotson
    @DannyTillotson 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thank you for this video! I went to enquire at a company here in the UK about lazer surgery and after some tests they said I could only get lasek rather than lazik because the cornea in my eye isn't thick enough for Lasik or something like that. So I wanted to see just how bad was lazek exactly and I found your video. Suffering for a month makes me ask if it's worth it really or just stick to wearing glasses? Would you say it's worth it?

    Wow I must be really lucky! had mine done 4 days ago in the uk, Day 1 was cloudy vision but upon sleep and rest I woke up to crystal clear vision with no light sensitivity at all! I have some slight bruising on my right eye and some very minor discomfort! The mornings upon waking are the worst times as eyes are dry but nothing major! Today my left eye is a little blurry. Had it done Sat back to work Tuesday, Taking drops and no issues at all just fantastic sight. Sorry yours seemed so bad.

    • @GinaBearsTravels
      @GinaBearsTravels  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think you are insanely lucky. You must be one of the lucky ones indeed. My recovery wasn't so bad. Did you do LASIK or LASEK? Lasik has a very minimal recovery time as compared to LASEK.

      Eno I appreciate you man. It’s been about 3 weeks maybe more . I’m seeing slightly blurry but I’m confident it will get better now that I read your post. I feel I’m one of those who will have to wait a long time for full recovery because I had near sight far sight and astigmatism. I’m still seeing halos and what not when there’s lights at night. I see better than before but not as good as if I had coke bottle glasses on lol. Just a question . How is your coordination now? Have you felt any improvements in your lifestyle? Like maybe you become slightly more aware and more confident with your 2020 vision? I feel like sometimes I am a bit slow or just not quite there like the average person but I feel it’s mostly my shitty vision . I never wore glasses much but I know they make me slightly more agile if you will because I know we’re stuff is ahead of time and what not.
