Lasik Prices Canada
Eye Surgery?
Has anyone gotton LASIK eye surgery? How does it feel? How much (I live in Canada, what Prices in Canadian dollars, please!) Are there any side effects?
I live in the UK so can not offer guidance on the price Sorry. The surgery itself is painless. I had LASEK is more invasive but even that was free of pain. Your eyes are actually anaesthatised drops. Once the laser has done is work – about 10 seconds – the vision is an immediate improvement. In my case I had to wear contact lenses for four days and they are uncomfortable. However, LASIK treatment does not require this and as I understand it can return to work the next day with corrected vision. What I would say is that any discomfort I felt was good worthwhile. I had a perfect view for a year now after wearing glasses for 20 years and it is amazing.

You should avoid activities that cause water to get into your eyes, such as swimming, for at least a month after LASIK. For the first week use cooled down water from a kettle to clean around the eye area – with a piece of gauze, and avoid getting water into the eyes in the shower for about 2 months after. After 2 months it is ok to get water into your eyes but stay away from soap, shampoo etc, as there is a chance that it will get into your eyes causing irritation, and also you will feel the need to rub your eyes, which may dislodge the corneal flap.
