My LASIK Surgery Experience | Answering Your Questions

(They were AMAZING!!)

Hey! Parker York Smith here talking about my LASIK surgery experience with Dr. Shamie in Los Angeles. It's one of the best decisions I've ever made and I really think hope that this sheds some light on what you can expect if you're curious about LASIK or laser eye surgery. Also answering some of your questions about the surgery so you can feel as confident as possible.

My LASIK Surgery Experience | Answering Your Questions

Congrats on your lasik. I got lasik back in 2001. I'll never forget waking up to 20/20.

Damn.. my vision is -4.5 as well. Ever since 5 grade I had problems with my vision … I really want to get surgery as well.
Most people with good vision don’t realised this but it is truly a blessing to have perfect vision. They can see the beauty of the world without worrying about glasses or contact.
Damn man.. I’m so happy for you

I received my Lasik Surgery on May 5th, 2022 and I'm glad that I did it. I'm 53 years old and my eyes were at -8.00 on both eyes and with astigmatism in my left eye and without my contacts, I was at -10.00, but, I'm still recovering from the surgery and after another week, I will be at 20/20 again. I can't wait. It's recovering and healing very well.

My phone stopped working and I was thinking of buying a new one. Suddenly, the thought of getting LASIK eye surgery came into my mind. And now, I am saving up money for the Lasik eye surgery. May god bless me.

The best part is how it only takes 10 minutes! I'm a -5 on both eyes, and really want to get LASIK. I'm 19, and I've had poor vision since 4th grade

I had my Lasik surgery done in Mahatten by Dr. Ken Moadel back in January 2021. One of the best decisions I've made in my life!! I ended up with 20/15 vision! I can finally freely enjoy viewing and experiencing the world like I once used to as a kid.

Both my eyes are at -8 and been wearing glasses since 1st grade, now I'm 25 😬 I am really considering getting lasik but I've always been terrified of complications since my vision is super bad. Your video made me feel a little better about it though, thank you!

[yashiscoding]

With -5.5 on my both eyes, I can totally relate Parker. I can't wait to get it done asap

[marieschneider]

I have -7.something in my left eye and -4.something and astigmatism in my right. I've been wearing glasses since 1st grade (so about 21 years). I tried contacts and couldn't stand them, they irritated my eyes so badly. I'm finally getting LASIK done next week, and I keep switching between excited and apprehensive!

[christianpeter]

extreme dryness here. good sight but I regret to have taken the step to surge my eyes. i won’t recommend it to anyone who will face the experience of constant pain in mornings and nights when waking up. even eyedrops by doctor weren’t helpful at all. Be cautious with your decisions. I would be completely fine and calm wearing glasses again instead of experiencing this indescribable pain. the sight will decline after 10 years after all

[philaman]

Glad your surgery went well. One thing about Lasik that continually interests me are eye doctors who choose to wear glasses over having laser correction surgery. To me, that reveals a lot.

[richvan]

Had mine today. Very easy. Granted my vision was only 20/50. I started wearing glasses/contacts about 4-5 months ago and just couldn’t or didn’t want to deal with them after 35 years of not having them.

Vision was hazy and there was slight discomfort on the drive home. I tried to nap. Couldn’t, but even after laying done with my eyes closed for about 90 min I opened them and could see damn near everything. I’m about 14 hours post procedure now and I’m dealing with some haziness around white lights. That’s it.

Cant wait to see how tomorrow is. I would recommend this for anyone who is eligible.

[allison]

Im going to watch this video again right before my LASIK procedure next week. It puts me at ease watching this. I’m nervous but you made it look so easy.

[TwCt]

Oh wow that’s amazing ! I’m a -4 I can understand how bad your vision was. I’m getting my lasik done Friday and you really helped me to be more ready :)

[GulfbeachMateo]

I really appreciate this video. I am scheduled to have my lasik done in just a couple weeks and I'm nervous and shit but this video made me feel a lot better.

[ChuckTheBossX]

I'm getting LASIK done tomorrow because of this video. I'm a bit nervous about the side effects but it is thanks to this video that I am finally doing it.

[caddyzig]

Super interesting. Thanks for sharing your experiences and answering all the questions. I’m glad you can see better now!

[BlueEyesASMR]

I have -7.50 on both eyes and have always been too afraid to get lasik. But I am really considering it recently, and this video really helped.

[isamarleonardo]

I’m getting lasik tomorrow and I’m so nervous and my anxiety is so bad that I don’t know if I should go in. I’m so so scared. I’m scared of freaking out at the chair, rubbing my eyes and the recovery.

[bookbutterfly]

I've been a 4.75 with 1.25 astigmatism since I was a baby. I've never been able to the world without glasses or contacts. I mightn't do the surgery until I'm a lot older, though because I need to save up for it. I'm glad that your surgery went well!
