Laser eye surgery

[Pretty Boy32]

Im not so sure exactly between 4000 to 5000 both eyes. This inlcudes evryrhing incluing follow up check up. they offered 2 years to pay without interst using credit care..

That is epic. I held off for years because they don’t offer a repayment plan in Ireland, if people have he option to that then it is a definite no brainer

Do you see halo driving at night?

At the moment yes but that should clear within a week.

Yes I was told to stay away from the gym for a month and not to box/play soccer for 6 months how did you find the recovery over a 3-4 month period?



This 100% I drove my car last night and the lights from other cars where extremely blurry and bright (with halos.) did that ever stop for you?



No they didn’t offer SMILE but I did read up on it. It’s like the 3rd generation laser surgery, only one place in Dublin does it right now. The place I got it done came highly recommended, so I wasn’t exactly fussed on what procedure was done as long as it was safe.

I wore my goggles lastnight but woke up to find them on the floor this morning.

I’m taking three different types of eye drops 8 times a day now, are you?

I have 3 different types of eye drops. 2 are to combat drying and 1 is to fight the threat of any infection. I woke up to find my goggles on top of my head! I think its the pillow that does it when you move around too much.

€1.8k per eye so €3.6k all in for my procedure - LASIK.

However I got 25% discount off due to my health insurance provider and an additional 10% off because of a corporate rate my employer has in place with them. So it worked out at around €2,800 but I can claim an additional 600 back on tax

It sounds expensive, honestly through I’d pay double if I had to now. I cannot recommended this enough

So what u during the day u had the procedure. Can u see? Watch tv? Or just sleep all day?

Ah man, basically do nothing. Not allowed watch tv, my procedure was at 3pm.
They gave me a Valium before,
I got home around 5pm. Slept for three hours, woke up with no pain but blurry vision. It was 8pm and I had the evening to kill but couldn’t watch tv, read or use my phone.

I listened to Joe rogans latest podcast with Michael shermer for 2.5 hours. Then I took a Xanax and went to bed.

In a nutshell for 24 hours you can’t use your phone or watch tv. It’s the most difficult part!

I’m thinking about doing it. Hopefully I can find a not too expensive doctor

Really??? I had mine done at 1:30pm in the afternoon. I asked the doctor if I could watch the Australian Open Tennis in the evening (roughly 6 hours later) and he said absolutely I could.

Different procedures around the world I guess.

Sort of. My eyes where extremely watery, vision was extremely blurred. You don’t particularly want to do anything.

I would cut corners on something like this tbh. I do hear a lot of people traveling abroad to have it done cheaper

Whaaaaaat? FFS. I was so bored! I really wanted to watch tv, maybe my clinic was just extremely cautious. I had to sign like a 25 page consent form too

I had to initial each page of a consent form but it was only about 8 pages.

I'm watching the Australian Open Final as I type this and I simply cannot get over the clarity of normal sight. As a contact lens wearer, it feels like I've gone from 720p to 4k!!!
