Laser Eye Surgery. (Nothing to do with Class1)

[stefair]

Hi SuperOwl,

I had my eyes lasered (LASIK) 1.5 years ago. Best decision I've ever made. Perfect vision today: right eye 1.6, left eye 1.25.

For your understanding, if wearing glasses or contacts the ophthalmologist attempts to correct your vision to 1.0. Obviously, my vision is now far better than it was prior to the surgery.

I had to have it done in order to get a Class 1, as I happened to be blessed with a bad astigmatism... Last fall I was issued my medical and haven't had any problems at all since the laser treatment.

I'd be happy to answer your questions, as choosing the right method and the right surgeon is the most important decision you can make!!!

I have no commercial interests, but I had it done in Zurich, Switzerland, and let me tell you that, the doc was worth it every single penny!! He's one, if not THE leading specialist in his field. Never ever fall for the cheaper offer, as you get what you're paying for!! In other words, don't go to a clinic in Eastern Europe or in Turkey, just to safe yourself a little bit of cash!! Feel free to post your questions here or per PM and I'd be very happy to give you answers.


CarPete,

It seems odd to me that the AMC examining you couldn't tell the difference. They usually check your cornea surface with an orbscan. If an eye experienced laser treatment, the cornea would look very smooth. Got no clue why they didn't find out about it?
