An alternative to LASIK eye surgery – electromechanical remodelling

The Doctor clearly saw that my eye hadn't fully healed and therefore diagnosed that it was the reason I wasn't seeing perfectly. Don't get me wrong, it is still far better than when I didn't wear my glasses. So even if it doesn't go back to normal it would still be an improvement.

As I understood it, the procedure in itself won't make you blind—ever. If you get complications—like an infection—then that's another story. I didn't have any.

So I didn't think about the risk-reward as everyone around me just had eye dryness or halos at night. Both of which are very easy to live with.

Thanks for sharing. I don't know anyone that did it first hand and online its hard to trust most websites because there's a whole industry behind it.

If you have other questions, I would be happy to answer them. But I'm just one of many thousands person.

I think all Doctors would tell you that you should do the surgery because they have a financial incentive to tell you so. However, I don't live in the USA and a lot of things I read didn't apply to where I went. For example, they prescribe bandage lens for at least 7 days in the USA but I only wore mine for 40 hours. Then a bunch of eye drops and all was fine.
