lasik eye surgery?
So I’ve heard of lasik eye surgery for fixing your vision. I’m wondering because my mom told me that after you lasik eye surgery, and you don’t protect your eyes you will still need to go back to wearing glasses. Is that true?also do you have to pay for the surgery?Some of my friends got lasik eye surgery and they say is safe but some people say its not safe. so is its safe or not?How long does it take to fix your vision during the lasik eye surgery and where do you take the surgery? you can give me other informations i don’t know about lasik eye surgery. thank you
P.S is wearing contact lens good or bad? because my friend say that once they wear it, it’s hard for them to take it off.
(maybe glasses is safer than contact lens or lasik eye surgery. or not)
also my vision problem is myopia and I wear glasses.
I don’t know whether myopia can be fixed by lasik or not…
I got lasik surgery about 6 years ago. I didn’t go to one of the cheapo places either. Don’t go cheap, these are your eyes we’re talking about.
The eye correction lasts approximately 10-15 years. Afterwards, you can either get it done again, or go to glasses/contacts. As for the duration of the surgery itself… maybe 5-10 minutes per eye. Not long at all. They give you some med to sleep when you get home, to give your eyes time to heal. But your vision is fixed as soon as they turn the machine off.
About contacts, sometimes it can be difficult to take them off. Depends on if your eyes get dried out or not. Though of course there are re-wetting drops.

contacts are not bad for you at all, unless you use them wrong.
and lasik eye surgery does cost money (but don’t all surgeries?!) and it is painless and easy.
but you should always be aware of how well your are taking care of your eyes!
you can never be too careful!
