Posted by: PeterPiper9999 Posted on: 12/17/2009 I had lasik 1yr ago at LasikMD with Dr. Keon Nia and was only able to return to work recently as I have finally learned to deal with the constant eye pain and poor vision that was the end result of my procedure. I don't think this procedure is safe and that the lasik docs are not being entirely honest with their patients. If you are looking into lasik surgery beware that it does not always go well. My advice is to stick with your contact lenses and/or glasses. Reply \| Forward Jodie 2/1/2010 My name is Jodie and I am a regional director at LASIK MD. I am very sorry to hear you feel unsatisfied with your experience. I have spoken with Dr. Keon Nia, and he would be more than happy to meet with you at your convenience for a consultation. Dr. Keon Nia is a well respected and experienced surgeon with thousands of happy patients. We are confident that Dr. Nia will be able to resolve your concerns. Kind Regards, Jodie Hebbard â€“ Regional Director â€“ LASIK MD Reply \| Forward

Posted by: mondkar_deepak Posted on: 6/24/2009 I am a 45 yrs old man and my eyesight is -9.5 of both eyes now its changing six to seven months. I had a Bypass surgery last year can , I do Lasik surgery? Reply \| Forward srinath 6/26/2009 No you cant, because there is an age limit and the limit is 40years so it is impossible Reply \| Forward monkey 10/13/2009 That's not true. there is no age limit. After 40 you are more likely to have monovision surgery or still have to wear reading glasses, but it all depends on the person. My 42 year old friend got monovision, while my 50 year old friend got regular lasik, with reading glasses, his wife skipped the surgery because she required monovision at 49. Reply \| Forward
