So I am about to do this. This upcoming Wednesday as birthday gift. However, as the days progress on I cant help but feel terrified. I have read that there is a 20% chance of complications.. Is this true?

Do you or anyone you know has done and what was the result? Is my fear warranted?

1) doctors used
3) location of doctors
4) success / unsuccessful
 
Hi @Gizmo

I have two friends that have had it done. Both are so happy with it that they cant believe they didnt do it earlier. Was a big success for both of them. Sorry, I dont know which doctors they used (i assume in the sandton area) but just saying it was a huge success and they now dont need to wear glasses or contacts

I would say as long as you have been to see a good opthalmologist (who wont benefit from the surgery) and he/she feels it is safe to do it in your case, then you dont need to be overly worried.
 
I have had a couple of mates that have had it done and it was simply awesome for them afterwards!
 
@Gizmo if you didn't get a pair of Oakley's and a white walking stick with the gift voucher, you're safe. Seriously, know of 2 friends that had that same procedure, and they are both very satisfied.
 
Thanks for all the supporting feedback. I think I will just go ahead :)

my sister had her eyes done about 8 to 10 years ago. her eyesight was really bad. without specs all she saw was blur
After the procedure her first response was ' i didnt know what colors are really like'
Apparently she has never been able to see actual colors properly.
she has had no complications since the operation and her eyesight has not deteriorated since.
She had her procedure done in CapeTown but i cannot remember the Dr name or where.

My Girlfriend sister also had a similar procedure done mid last year on one eye and she has had major success too. gone from being almost blind to clear vision. She still has the other eye to do but funds is whats holding her back.

from my experience it seems very postive in results and altho there are always risk involved the results yielded are far outweigh them.

If you really want i can ask my sister if you can give her a call to ask about the procedure and so on.. let me know.
 
Done and dusted :) Went well his eyes are just very sore :) Will be out of action for a few days so if there is anything you guys need from @Gizmo you can forward it to me
 
Well done for not chickening out @Gizmo
