subject: Can A Eye Surgery Process Be Painful? [print this page] I get the issue a lot of weather or not lasik or lasik surgery will be painful. Most procedures done by medical professionals never sense fantastically good so this is a especially good query to ask. I live in Las Vegas and the sun here is pretty tough on our eyes. A lot of us get cataracts as we get older which in turn forces us to come to a decision if we A. just want to live with them or B. want to have a fresh pair of eyes through a surgery like eye surgery. I will strive to discuss the procedure that is gone through when a eye surgery process is done so that you will know what to look forward to when or if you come to a decision this is something you want to do. Just consider that I am not a health care provider and so the information I give in this editorial is strictly my judgment and should not be taken as medical doctors recommendation. For a more in depth look at eye surgery or eye surgery you should see a local surgeon.
So first off if you feel you require lasik it is probably because your vision is not that good or you may be seeing spots. These spots are cataracts and even though I don't like to confess it I will almost certainly end up getting them as I get grown-up because I have been out here in the desert my entire life. So if you feel you need eye surgery no trouble. A lot of people do and it does not mean anything is wrong with you as a human being :). Before we get going you will want to know that each eye will cost you around fifteen hundred bucks but it is worth every penny.
When the eye surgery procedure is started the doc will deaden your eyes will some saline type drops. This is not painful just fairly annoying when the drops hit your eyes. These drops will anesthetize your eye so that you don't suffer pain. When I say you won't experience pain I mean you literally won't suffer any pain. The health professional will once your eyes are anesthetize take a scalpel type tool and cut a opening into your cornea. This sounds nasty but just wait it gets grosser. He or she will then take a knife type device and go into your eye to crack up your existing lens. Ready for the dreadful part? The doc will then take a tube and suction away the portions of lens that are in your eye. Now if the doc was to just seam you back up then you would see zero but black the rest of your days so make sure you are on his or her good side. What they actually do is then put a new lens into where your mature one is. These lenses are in reality made to last five hundred years which means if anybody finds you 500 years from now all they will unearth is your lenses sitting there and perhaps some hair and teeth if you are healthy.
All in all this procedure requires just a few minutes for each eye and from what I hear fully painless. If you have the cash and the eye trouble I would say go for it. Thousands of these procedures have gone through without a snag and there is a mammoth achievement rate for those who decide to take the plunge. I know Las Vegas eye surgery physicians have their hands full keeping the cataracts from their patients eyes. Good luck with whatever you choose!
