Lasik and Prk and Glenn Hagele are frauds. Very little truth in these . Lasik damages the area that the laser hits and it never rebounds fully. At the quantum level very little is know about how light reacts in the eye in terms of seeing clearly. It is a “quantum zoo” as physicists would put it….subparticles of light appearing and disappearing at will. That means light never hits the
retina as it should since there are many different parts of the retina which need specific amounts of light etc to see as one has been seeing. If not, then you get blur, glare, etc. Lasik, glenn hagele, park are all frauds.

Dry eyes after Lasik is relatively common and also commonly resolves within the normal six month healing process. If you want all the details, see Lasik dry eyes and Lasik dry eye treatment. Dry eyes can cause or exacerbate all sorts of problems and may be what is behind your more difficult night vision. Be sure to talk to your doctor about this. It is way too early to come to any conclusions about your final outcome. You just had microsurgery on your eyes. They need time to heal. Glenn Hagele USAEyes.org I am not a doctor.

Hi. I just had mine done last April 30, 2008. Almost three weeks now. I have to say that I have 20/20 vision. But I still get dry eyes. The worst part is when waking up in the morning. But the doctor said it would take about three months for my tear ducts to produce more.

Also I have to protect my eyes from further dryness and in the place I work at, it’s very cold and there’s a positive pressure in the rooms so whenever I open doors, there’s a breeze that goes to my eyes, which dries it up a little faster. I didn’t anticipate it, but for now I’m wearing goggles at work (which doesn’t look odd coz I’m in a hospital).

Another thing that concerns me is that at night, the light seems more glary. They said it’s temporary (and I’m hoping it is). It really is too early for me to complain or give recommendations but for the most part, since I’ve had glasses since I was in third grade, I feel much better without them.

I’m glad you found a company that accepts insurance because mine didn’t. But I did get financing available for me. Anyway I made a post regarding it in my 43things. Good luck!

WOW.
I was going to tell you how great that you’re getting the Lasik surgery, but after reading post 2 and 3, not so much.
Good luck and I’ll pray for the best surgeon and a good outcome of your surgery.
I know you’ll keep us posted on all that happens.
