Questions from a friend...

LASIK information? What is it? What does it really do? These are the questions my friend asked me as I suggested that she go see an eye doctor. You see, my friend has been wearing thick lens glasses since we've known each other during our college years. So, to answer her question, I explained everything I know or have researched to her. She understood everything I said. Then another set of questions were thrown at me - "How much is it?" "Is it painful?" "What will be the side-effects of this?" - and so on...

Wait, hold up! That is not my expertise. I couldn't answer all the questions she had for me. I just told her to go online and search all about Lasik procedure, just like what I did. I am confident to say that my friend is a possible candidate for LASIK laser vision correction. She is over 21, and has healthy corneas, as she mentioned. But there's more to it. It is really best that she sees an expert on this.

Ah! The wonders of modern technology. Because of advances in technology, most patients who wear glasses or contact lenses are looking into LASIK technology to cure whatever vision problems they have.
