Just figured you took things super serious on the internet to have taken what I said so widely out of context. |

Note to some dimwit out there. Please do not try this at home. Cause you know somewhere someone will take this serious.
I wish I would have read that comment thirty minutes earlier... |

"...Now I cannot use contacts nor have another surgery..."
I don't know anyone that had the surgery and doesn't still wear glasses.
Most people that have seem to claim that the new prescription is not as strong but, I don't think it's worth it if I still end up buying yet another pair of glasses.

6 years ago they had a health fare for employees of the company I work for. I had Lasik surgery paid on cheap installments deducted from my paycheck for 3 years. 18 months later I was back using glasses. Now I cannot use contacts nor have another surgery. So there you go if it’s too good to be true probably is. |

I watched my dad get lasik. They cut his eye open with a razor blade and reshaped it with a laser. It was sick but now I want it. They had the whole procedure on a monitor so i could watch it in the next room. I dont know about this home lasik kit though. |

It's the older style, and uses a different laser that instead burns away a thin layer of the eye's covering, which eventually grows back, in the process of re-shaping the eye.
Also, PRK takes a longer time to fully heal, and tends to be more uncomfortable.
In case you can't tell, I've been studying up on this stuff. Despite knowing the risks and how it's done, I'm seriously considering it... |

after they've laser sliced your cornea, they remove the sliver from your eyeball. |

Umm, you do know lasik involves using lasers to reashape the cornea? No razors or lenses involved. Maybe you're thinking of a different procedure.
Watch the video I posted earlier.
There's more than one way that surgeons do lasik, and most of them involve cutting away the layer with a razor. There are other, slightly more expensive options that involve the use of a second laser to cut it, but both work the same way. Cut away the layer over the eye, use a special laser to re-shape the cornea, replace the layer.
There's no way to do it without cutting away the layer, by the way, because then the laser would just burn out your vision completely.
ALSO, there's another version that's relatively new that involves the placement of a contact-like lens under the layer that works, wouldn't you know it, like a contact lens.
Then, there's PRK, which you're probably thinking of.

Oh, and I think pretty much everyone who gets it sees halos and fuzziness around lights at night. I definitely do, but it's not bad and totally worth not having to deal with contacts or glasses. |
