[Sandman77]

Does someone here every do eye LASIK ?

In my home country one eye coasts around 2500€ up to 3000€

I know the laser machines are very exoensive most time 2 doctors must share the coasts , I still fear to do it in Thailand!

If something goes wrong,no one here take responsiblity !

Was one time in Florida!

Here the LASIK was avalible in many shopping center!

But many reports more sensitive

IMHO don't do Lasik but do the other procedure where they implant a new lense in your eye.

This was recommended to me by my Optometrist back in Europe.

I am still waiting a few more years to get mine done.

So is the new lense more save with less side effects?

[MJCM]

It's more expensive for sure but with less side effects

Sounds the same as cataract surgery.

You are right about that

When refractive errors are too large to correct with laser surgeries like LASIK, a Clear Lensectomy may be the answer. This procedure involves the removal of the natural lens and replacement with an plastic lens (an intraocular lens or IOL). It is the same operation as cataract surgery but in cataract the natural lens has gone opaque.

There is also this

Phakic IOL's are ultra thin lenses, designed to be inserted permanently inside the eye. As the procedure does not involve removing tissue from your cornea, it is very suitable for people with thin corneas or high refractive errors.

Implantable Contact Lens (ICL)

The difference to a contact lens is that the ICL is placed inside your eye, rather than on the surface of your eye. Because of its tiny size and softness, it can be rolled up enabling it to be injected into your eye through a tiny incision underneath your eyelid. Once injected, the ICL unfolds into position and there it stays, correcting your eyesight without any further treatment being necessary.

Ps: Price for the Lens Implant is approx 100.000 Thb per eye so in total +/- 200.000 Thb
