What's the difference between lasik and epi-lasik?

Three letters and a hyphen

Epi-LASEK(sorry, spelt it wrong earlier) is where they laser the front of the eye. LASIK is where they cut a small flap in the cornea and laser underneath it. The advantage of this is that recovery time is about 1 day, EPI has a recovery of up to a week.

In my experience I was treated at 9:30 am and was playing pool at 8:30 that night(and winning!). If you are interested I can send you a more detailed write up of what happens in the op.

I don't like the sound of the flap cutting bit. Considering what I do for a living I have always had a squeamish thing about eyes, feet, anything to do with bones poking through skin and blood and gore in general...... Maybe I'm in the wrong job..

I don't like the sound of the flap cutting bit either. I'm a bit squeamish when it comes to eyes. I have difficulty keeping them open when I go to the eye clinic. Just the sight of this blue thing coming towards me and I involuntarily blink.

You don't feel anything. The drops kill all feeling in your eyes. I suppose its a case of can you put up with 10 mnutes of feeling anxious in exchange for loosing the specs?

PS I only have 4 vouchers left now. If you want one let me know( there is no commitment or time limit on them so you can think it through carefully.)

I'll send you a PM with what the experience was like for me.

Hi Ian,

I found your posts online and would like to know how you found the optimax experience? I am due for a Lasek treatment in 4 weeks time. Also they have offered me a discount on treatment if i could find somebody to refer me. Based on the posts i think you would be a good option.

Regards

I'd be more than happy to go for it if I had a spare £600 ! Think I'll be sticking with the contacts a while longer.

Will they stay ok or do you expect to need glasses in the future.

[entwisi]

The surgeon told me that we were in effect "resetting" the clock. They will deteriorate over time and I may need reading glasses as I age but later than without if you get what I mean.

whatever happens I'm in pocket over buying glasses and prescription sunglasses already so it was worth it.

Sounds good, can they be done again if needed later in life when you get even older
