Hey! Parker York Smith here talking about my LASIK surgery experience with Dr. Shamie in Los Angeles. It's one of the best decisions I've ever made and I really think hope that this sheds some light on what you can expect if you're curious about LASIK or laser eye surgery. Also answering some of your questions about the surgery so you can feel as confident as possible.

I received my Lasik Surgery on May 5th, 2022 and I'm glad that I did it. I'm 53 years old and my eyes were at -8.00 on both eyes and with astigmatism in my left eye and without my contacts, I was at -10.00, but, I'm still recovering from the surgery and after another week, I will be at 20/20 again. I can't wait. It's recovering and healing very well.

In case you're still trying to decide 6 months later... Consider listening to the voice in your head warning you about the complications. Ask yourself if the potential devastation of lifelong ocular pain and distorted vision outweighs the potential convenience of not having to wear glasses. Remember you can't reverse the procedure, whether the outcome is good or bad. It's great that most people have a positive result, but if you don't then you won't care how satisfied most people are. Good luck.

That’s not taking into account that up until a few years ago lasik was only good for 20 years and then you still had to go back to wearing glasses. Now you can get touch ups for life. Also, many surgeons could not afford those treatments until they pay off their massive student loans and then they’re making bank.

Had mine today. Very easy. Granted my vision was only 20/50. I started wearing glasses/contacts about 4-5 months ago and just couldn’t or didn’t want to deal with them after 35 years of not having them. Vision was hazy and there was slight discomfort on the drive home. I tried to nap. Couldn’t, but even after laying done with my eyes closed for about 90 min I opened them and could see damn near everything. I’m about 14 hours post procedure now and I’m dealing with some haziness around white lights. That’s it. Cant wait to see how tomorrow is. I would recommend this for anyone who is eligible.

@@kaeez discomfort right after. That lasted for a few hours. Then 4-5 hours after the procedure I could see clearly, which was kinda weird. The only “problem” (and I use that loosely) I had was light sensitively for a few days, and there was a haziness around lights, especially at light. That’s cleared up and now everything is good. Right eye is 20/15, left is 20/20. I can read the 20/15 with both eyes open. Haven’t had a problem with dryness. Used the drops as directed. 10/10 would recommend.

I was able to stay still and I haven’t rubbed my eyes at all. I think once you’re there and you know the risks you won’t move and you won’t rub your eye moving forward which was my biggest fear. The recovery was easy. The first day it burned like I chopped onions for a few hours I slept and I felt better. By the second day I was fine I just had dry eyes. The first week or so I had trouble seeing outside at night cause of the glare from the lights. But it’s been almost 3 weeks since the procedure my vision at night is almost 100% my eyes aren’t as dry anymore and most importantly I can see clearly now. 10/10 recommended I wish I would’ve done it sooner.

I still see a starbursts around bright objects and my eyes were somewhat dry for two years but I would do it again. I don't like that he doesn't say the price of the surgery I mean really whats the big deal. I paid $1500, 22 years ago for both eyes. Every surgery the clinic will have you sign a waiver and pretty much you have no recourse if the doctor screws up. This is the one thing I hate about any and all medical surgeries

People say you cannot feel the laser. I my experience, I did felt a sting as the laser pass one of my eye. That's with 2 drops on the eyes to prevent the pain. Then, I tear up like a mad man at home. Yeah, the drop wear off. The tear never stop, until after I force myself to sleep. Then again, who can sleep when tears keep falling down. It felt like ants eating you eyeball or bunch of sand stirring into your eyes. If I know it was that bad, I would have buy the sleeping pill.

I am a hyper sensitive person, i can feel vein constrictions across my body, pores on my body consistently, and others. I want to ditch the glasses as im a fashiony guy and my eyes are degrading in quality, and are the most sensitive part lf my body... Will it hurt... E.g to how sensitive my body is, I cannot lay in certain directions due to my eyes and i can feel the heat of even low power lasers...

As far as pricing, I’m going to be spending $4k on it. They have payment plans. Care Credit if offered at most clinics. I would not go to the Groupon clinics because they don’t have the technology. The place I’m going for Lasik is in San Diego. Called Nvision Eye Centers. They checked the thickness of my corneas and ran a ton of tests before clearing me for the lasik surgery. Gave me some supplements to take and a bunch of eye drops to start on. Hopefully this info will help as well.

Hey man thanks for putting this video out there. I've been thinking about lasik on and off for a couple decades, but have been really considering seriously as this is the time. Did you get the no flap lasik? What age were you when you got it? Asking only because I am 39 and not sure if the age factor is a thing and also I know the cost is subjective to whichever doctor but if you wouldn't mind giving a definitive number so I can have a reference. Thanks!

I don't know what my eyes are but I can't read a stop sign clearly at anything past 25 yards and even there, it's fuzzy. I want to get LASIK because I'm tired of having to worry about my glasses and cleaning them and contacts are a no go (can't keep my eye open with something coming at it like that) but I fear losing my vision. If I go blind, I flat out can't do my job and will have to quit. I've just got this job and the pay is amazing and I'm able to afford to do things I never have been able to. Hell, the vision insurance from my job is the reason I'm even able to consider getting it at all. Still, I remember getting my first pair of glasses. To be able to see the fibers in the carpet without them being an inch from my eye was the most amazing feeling I'd had up until that point in my life and I image getting LASIK would produce the same result.

My brothers, sister, and I have Lasik. There is no such thing as 20/20 vision. If you happens to get 20/20 vision, it's Lasik 20/20 and not the normal vision. The surgery damage the eyes, though the doctor tells you it's to correct the eyes. Lasik narrow the vision of the eyes to let you see things clearer in a range. Though our vision improve, the closer range is impair. You may need reading glass to read things up close. My distance sight is not sharp, like wearing contact. My sister needs reading glass for short vision and my brother has to get glass because of night driving. I have to use night drop on occasion because my eyes get dry. Yes, our vision improve, but it's not perfect and it's not without compromise.

Usually price is based on how much correction is needed. I just did my eyes both at -3.50 and I paid 3250$ Canadian. I know there's a limit for regular Lasik, I'm not sure it can be done @ -7.50 you might be close to or over the limit. They have different technologies for cases like this but usually it's more expensive. Might be worth it to book a free consultation.
