Yeah it is well worth it i had it done also.
Make sure you consult a doctor first and be aware of the risks.

There are many great services out there. Cross analyse different services and prices,
i am sure there is not a great different between them they are professionals. here is a link to the Laser eye surgery clinic i went to

hope this helps someone out there

Hi All,

I got a friend had done this about 2 years ago.

but she is blind now !!

her eyes sight deteriorated after a year and one of the eye is always red ( not right after the surgery but about 1 year later of the surgery)

she went to other specialist to check out when her eye was red. the eye specialist said the laser surgery was trigger something and the surgury was not suitable for her eyes…….

now she is blind…….( not completely blind but her vision is blurred all the time,glasses is not helping at all…..)

I guess, better to seek for mulitple opionion from different speciality  before do the surgery.

everyone has different condition.

I am not trying to scared people of but just a true story of my friend….

I wont have laser surgery due to the risks. I believe it's something like 1/10,000 have major complications.  I have one dominant eye so if I had a problem with the surgery I would be stuffed.  There are even documented cases of problems occuring with the non lasered eye!  I dont know how that works but it must link up through the optical nerve somehow.  Not for me but works for many people.

except for laser eye surgery …

Eyes are red becouse  astigmatism oculomotor muscles.

3 of my friends had Lasik in the last few years- all wore glasses before – not do now. They all did it cos hey play sport.

They are all very happy and would highly recommend it. One had a little infection for a few days after – needed some drops , but still highly recommends it to all who ask.

Good Luck

Though laser surgery has given positive results, it would be not be correct to say that this method of eyesight correction has proven to be the ultimate method of vision correction for all people. Remember one size dose not fit all. There have been several complications post laser surgery such as the vision getting more deteriorated. Instead people can try another non-surgical method of improving the vision that is of the Bates Method.

Lasik surgery is a very important surgery and it has so many advantages for a better results for the people who are facing with their eyes.I have had the lasik surgery last and now I'm very happy with this surgery.before that I use to wear the glasses which was really horrible and uncomfortable for me.But after I done with the lasik surgery i felt very happy.The people who really want to do this surgery they need to follow some instructions before and after the surgery which will give by the doctors.

Well said.That's really a good suggestion………………..

I had Lasik eye surgery a few years ago. It worked wonders for me. Can’t recommend it enough!! Don’t be afraid, the entire procedure was painless.

Do yourself a favour, see Dr Kim Frumar who has over 30 years experience, and served over 10,000 patients. The man knows his stuff and to be honest with you I wouldn’t trust anyone else. My mother, and younger sister have all seen Dr Kim Frumar since and are still raving about it.

I had laser surgery in Adelaide nearly 10 years ago (I think that's the time frame).

I was one of the very earliest patients for this particular eye surgeon. To the best of my knowledge I was one in a group of 5 people that were his first patients.

In fact, he had a surgeon from Queensland (where he purchased the equipment) to assist in the procedures as he was new to the technique.

I have had some serious issues, but the REAL issue I had is that this very well known surgeon does not consult after the procedure/s. There is one follow up visit and that is the last I could see of him. I phoned several times over the ensuing months and even years but as soon as they find out that I've already had the procedure I'm told 'sorry we don't consult' you will need to see your optician. It's a viscious circle, because when I go to see the optician or GP they refer me back to the surgeon who won't see me and they refer me back to the optician.

At one stage a GP actually phoned the surgery whilst I was sitting in her office and the surgery made out like it wasn't a problem and I could definitely make an appointment to see the surgeon. When I got there I was given a check up by a junior optician and didn't get to see the surgeon even though he was at the clinic.

So when I see advertisements that talk about how many procedures the clnic has done or how many years they've been going for – I get really cross.

Certainly in this instance, this surgeon has absolutely no idea of the long term results from his earliest patients.

What anyone should be aware of when considering this procedure is that for surgeons such as my Adelaide guy, he's not a health care specialist. He's not someone who got in the industry because he wants to help people regain their sight. He is never going to volunteer overseas in third world countries or do pro-bono cases, these guys are in it for the money. It's big, big business for them – you are going to be in and out that door like a piece of furniture and then you could very well be on your own in the long run.

For me, I am now color blind – I can’t tell the difference between hues, eg navy blue or black, purple or grey, moss green or lilac etc. I also have such a severe case of ‘dry eye’ that even using specialised eye drops and gels my corneas still get ulcerated. One optician I consulted said to me that he wasn’t surprised, “after all you have had a considerable amount of your cornea shaved off”.
