Over the years my eyes have degraded back to 20-40, not uncommon. One side effect that they don't talk about is dry eye, which adds to vision difficulties.

Would I do it again - Yes. Just be prepared for some minor issues down the road.

thanks, mr. gurney. im in prime time then.

my brother had the procedure done 20yrs ago and he's been very satisified. the only thing for me is i have dry eye and there's only a few contacts i can wear without looking like that pict mr.alcheng posted about the bloodshot eyes.

im not sure if i want to increase the dry eye side-effect with lasik... that's really where ive been kinda going back and forth. it's not like i can reverse once i have the procedure done.

Regarding the long term affect on the excessive contact lenses usage... it could take as short as 4-5 years or as long as 10+ years.

Here are couple examples:

Corneal Vascularization due to lack of oxygen and nutrient from wearing contact lenses:

G.P.C. (Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis) due to dirty or/and over-wear contact lenses:

( Click to show/hide )

Corneal Edema is caused by hydration of cornea thus the cornea becomes swollen:

There are at least 20+ corneal complications caused by improper use of contact lenses which I cannot show everything thus everyone gonna puke and put me in their Iggyland......

But I'm gonna show one last one which is the worst complication a cornea can get.....

( Click to show/hide )

Actually, prescription becomes stable as early as 18-19 and as late as 30, so I say mid-30 is a good age to consider refractive surgery.

What happened with you was the technology at that time for lasik was not mature enough.

The scar on the cornea is thick, the laser cannot finely 'shave' the cornea thus cannot obtain an accurate correction.

Lots of complication thus it was a big no no to have lasik surgery done at that time.

However, the technology nowadays are much better, lasik or PRK are both having good result and minimum complications.

But, if you decide to go for it, go for the most expensive thus the best one. Only those are using the most advanced technology/machine.

About $5k to $7k for a pair of eyes.

ICL is not new but not the most popular, I wouldn't try it until the technology on it becomes mature and more advanced.

At least for now, I will suggest Lasik or PRK over ICL.

Personally, not keen on its concept.

wow, thanks for the warnings and info, mr.alcheng!

now i understand better why i need to visit the eyeball repair shop every year.

i will investigate more about lasik and study your info again. thanks!!!

Thinking I might drive all the way back across town to my wife's work and swap for the Z. Even though it's selfish, there's a chance I can play it off like I was being the good husband and giving back her AT for her painfully long drive home

that's a smart move, mr.jar.

umm....sounds like you are trying to pull a fast one on your wifey?

She had the Z all day Tuesday and the first thing she did when she got home was complain about how much driving the MT sucks in traffic. So I thought I'd give her a respite from dealing with it two times in one week

i prefer MT in heavy traffic vs AT unless im on a constant uphill.

often times my wife says that i contradict myself...actually the issue with me is my mind is always thinking and onto something so wat i might've said in the am is old news vs wat im trying to do current.

so it sounds like im contradicting, but im just making progress.

wait, wat did i just post?

Really thinking about treating the wife to a stay-cation at an as-yet-undetermined hotel downtown... She's been such a good sport so far.
