Recommended Posts

I had my lasik it was way back early 2000...during that time i was advised when you reach at the age 40...the vision will degrade gradually. it is not forever that it will be 20/20 vision i just decided to had my lasik as i dont want to wear eyeglasses and it was one of company health benefits

If you're younger than 40 years of age....ok ang lasik....bago na mga machine....pero dapat may screening ka muna...vision screening test ranges from 2k and above....

 

After that kung ok na....we do the procedures....prices here ranges from 50k both eyes to as much as 80k per eye....depends yan sa ophthalmologist mo kung magkano PF nya...

 

Pero kung malapit ka na mag 40....or advise ko sa mga mid 30s na....wag na mag pa lasik masasayang lang...there are better alternatives for mga patients 40 and above....

Ano po yong alternatives for 40 & above? I'm 55 yo. Thanks!

maaring lumalabo ulit but probably not as blurry as it was prior to the procedure that's why people with high refractive errors really like the advantages of having the lasik done. Also, remember that the cornea (where lasik is done) is only 1 part of the eye which has refracting properties; the other major refractive part is the LENS (the one that gets cataract and the one that gets affected when you turn 40 and above (presbyopia- when you need reading glasses because your eyes lose accomodation to see near objects). It is important for the patient to have a thorough chair-time with their doctor and to not hesistate to ask questions. 😉
