I just got it done 2 weeks ago. Only took 15 minutes and it was the best decision. I should of done it a long time ago. Its definitely worth it 💯

When I woke up the morning after and could see, although a bit blurry at that point, I broke down crying. Best decision ever

I got mines done today at lasik place i was so nervous. It was intense i thought i was making a mistake but i had immediate results. Went home my eyes were so irritated i couldn’t even open my eyes. Woke up 4 hours later and i have 20/20. They really don’t tell you what to expect i guess that’s for the best because it’s intense!

I just had LASIK on Thursday (today is Sunday). I am so glad I got the surgery!! That sucks they didn’t give you time for your Valium to kick in. That seems like a poor decision for them also. My Valium was in full swing when it is was time to go-for better or worse. I told the surgeon he was hot when I walked into the OR. Totally embarrassing. 😅

Your experience was almost identical to mine. everyone says its painless and you don't feel anything but you definitely do feel lots of pressure and its very uncomfortable.

You really got me wanting to get LASIK now! Good to know about all the aftercare.

Something that most don't know is the price is fluid and can be negotiated. Yes they will initially quote you 4k-6k but I got mine done for $1900 both eye PRK. What I came to understand is certain centers contract a doctor to come in on a certain day to "do the surgery" and they just own the equipment and book clients. What you don't know until you get there is its primarily done by machine and the doctor really just "supervises the machine and preps the eye. The process only takes a few minutes per eye so its in the centers interest to get the most out of their money paid to the doctor. Depending on where you go you will find that its a conveyer belt of clients on surgery day as they try to fit as many as they can in. The lady that did my consultation quoted me around $5500 originally. I told her I had seen an ad online for $800 an eye so I budgeted for that so I'm out. She then dropped the price to $3500 and I repeated that's nice but again I only budgeted for about $2000 out the door so that's where I am. She then agreed to do it for that which surprised me at first until surgery day and I saw how this actually worked. So how are my eyes? I did PRK about 8 years ago and still have 20/20 vision in my left and 20/25 in my right. Due to how poor my right eye was prior to surgery I was told upfront that they were not sure what I would have in my right eye after surgery so together i see just about 20/20. Cons that I've notice is small print that's very close like within a foot or so I have a hard time focusing on with both eyes open. Guessing this is due to the differences in each eye which before surgery I would have both eyes open but move whatever it was I was looking at to be more in alignment with the left eye where now I typically just back up some. The next thing is after surgery if I'm tired or have been drinking at night I get the stars around lights but my vision clear with that exception. Oddly enough I somewhat like this as I use it as a gauge of whether I should be driving or not. LMAO. If I see the stars I stop and get a cup of coffee to wake me up or have someone else drive because I'm intoxicated.

Omg, your little dance when you could see is sooo heartwarming. 😁 I'm about to do mine this Wednesday. I backed out 5 years ago because I was scared. This was very helpful.

Thanks for sharing your experience! Glad you had a successful outcome! My advice to anyone who watches is to read the packet they give you before surgery day because it tells you what you will and will not be able to do after surgery! Example: no swimming or wearing makeup.

Thank you so much for giving us your realistic view of the Lasik procedure. I have been wanting Lasik for over 10 years. Even though I've encountered so many real friends that had it done and still have great eyesight. My 87-year-old mom had it done years ago with cataract surgery and just took her for an exam and Daaaaaamn she sees 20/30. I'm so jealous. I'm going to get a couple of consults here in San Antonio, TX. What LasikPlus did you get yours done.

Getting mines tomorrow! Im excited. Thanks for the info💕

I'm planning on having this done as soon as I have the money. Btw, you're absolutely beautiful!!

My appointment for LASIK is tomorrow! I'm also getting it done through LASIK Plus. Thanks for sharing this!

Thank you for posting this! I'm getting my Lasik Surgery on Thursday and I'm so nervous and this really helped me alot! I love how realistic you are with your experience.

I just did it a little over 3 weeks ago. I didn’t take the Valium before hand and it truly wasn’t bad. Just some pressure.

Watched this and just got lasik this week

OMG the walls being glass!!! that's the craziest shit i've ever heard! i'm glad you liked that about your procedure but tbqh if my operating room had been like that i'd have walked out 😵‍💫

Thank you for sharing, I am getting my LASIK surgery done next Friday!

Just had mine last week- great experience and no regrets or issues. I did go with my only consult I made (amazing reputation/reviewed place and price- $3200 in LA), but what I didn’t know until my post lasik research is that some bigger places also give lifetime warranties which include enhancements should they ever be needed. Kind of cool perk to have (although I’m sure those places are much pricier), but I guess the need for an enhancement down the line is generally pretty rare- so maybe I didn’t miss out. In any case, very happy with my 20/15 results, and easy process.

Hey Doll, this was such a great video. I have been wanting Lasik for a while too.

Thanks for the info as I watch this with my coke bottles on. This is on my bucket list for sure!

Thank you for the info, I'm thinking about getting the surgery done myself. You were Brave

the only time this surgery has ever sounded like a good idea to me is right now, after several drinks. I kind of get it now

I had my lasik a week before but i see a little blurry, got 6/6 vission but its still blurry feels like i have applied lenses so when will this blurriness go? Pls help

I have my consultation today! Hopefully I can get it done ASAP!

I find your experience interesting, I haven't had mine yet but so far I've been told different information! I just had my consult and I have to put in eye drops 4x a day one week before the surgery, and no contacts for a week before the surgery, which you said you didn't have any prep! They also told me for the first 24 hours I just have to stay in a dark room with my eyes shut doing nothing, while you only had to rest for four hours! I wonder why our guidelines are so different despite the same company.

What was he counting down for? I’m confused like was there pressure or something that was uncomfortable? Thank you for sharing your experience ❤️❤️ there aren’t many videos and I’m tired of wearing contacts!!

Does anyone else feel afraid of being able to see 2020? Lol I’m so used to being blind..like will I panic now I can see all the time??

I’m getting my done this Friday I’m call my doctor tomorrow make sure I don’t get those red bruises on my eyes . how long did those red spots go away?

Hey 😊 can I ask what you saw when they immediately sat you up ?

Girl I had the same exact experience as you, I was scared as fuck but in my head I’m like don’t move bitch you gonna fuck it up😂😂😂😂😂

another part of the prep is you cannot wear contacts before hand!

I’m curious to know what your vision was before, my eyes are -7

This was sooo helpful. Thank you so much! 😊

Hi!! I’m suppose to be getting mine done sometime in April well hopefully with what’s going on around the world who knows. I’m over 50 I’m jus tired of corks ya and glasses for so many years. I keep reading how I shouldn’t do it or see videos on people who has had bad experiences. I guess that brings me down a little bit all I can do is pray and hope for the best.

For how long did you have blurry visions, halos in the night, etc? I am still in my fourth day after surgery and I have blurry vision

Hello! How did the Valium feel? I know you said it hit you hard after but what about during? I requested two. I’m so nervous 😩

Are you in Canada ? I’m getting it done in September in Winnipeg. Ottawa-Winnipeg is 400$ difference . Winnipeg is 400$ more for some reason . I live in Ontario. I am choosing to get it done in Winnipeg as the surgeon working the day in sept in Winnipeg is more experienced ! Do you have a discount code ? Thank you

I want lasik but just as you said there is discomfort. was the discomfort that bad?

Just had mine done on Saturday, how is your recovery overall?

I'm thinking of getting lasik when im older but im still scared that something will go wrong and ill regret it 😓😓

omg can you see clearly or not you literally didnt mention that in the video at all.

Does any one have dizziness after

Thank you so much! I have been debating getting this done! I only have one eye that needs to be done the other has 20/20 vision! Did you get this done in Atlanta?

no rubbing eyes and not washing them for a whole weak 🤯 HOW!?

Thank you for the info. I appreciate it.

Hello love your video, Where did you get your lasik done?, thinking about getting the procedure

Omg so weird seeing you at the store without a Mask pre COVID 😂😂

Do you have a coupon code for the surgery ?

what if you have to blink or if the eyes start watering up that’s what’s scares me the most about it

Where did you get it done?

I'm getting LASIK on Friday the 25th at the same office you were at. Atlanta, right?

Hello. I just watched your video. How are you still doing since having your lasik?

Thank you so much for sharing.

please send me the info of the doctor for lasik thanks

Where did you go?

How are your eyes now ?

Some people say that it ruined their life. Other people say that it’s the best thing they’ve done. I think it’s a luck thing. It’s a 50- 50 success rate.

I'm scheduled this Friday for my lasik. My moms a nurse and wants it. Where did u go?

I'm in Ohio. Can I still refer you at the location here??
