Plastic Surgery and Cosmetic Surgery Reviews
jie asked:
I had a LASIK done in 2000. Then I had cataract remover done in 2006 and calculated the previous LASIK in to make sure I can read better. After cataract surgery, I wanted to see distance betterm so, I had LASIK enhancement done in June, 2006. In December, 2006, the doctor said that I had regression and I can do another LASIK. The thickness of my cornea is 419. I am afraid that I will invade my corena too many times. I cannot wear contact lenses and I do not want to wear glasses. Any suggestions and what I should know?

Lasik and Laser eye surgery have become very common now. My cousin got her dental implants and lasik surgery in India by a company called Forerunners Healthcare. The Price for dental and lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.
Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.
They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India. as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
Many patients travel from United States of America and UK to get low cost surgery in India. Indian corporate hospitals are comparable to hospitals anywhere in the world. In fact, India has medical facilities that are comparable with the USA, UK and Canada. India offers World Class Medical Facilities, comparable with any of the western countries. India has state of the art Hospitals and the best medical experts. With the best infrastructure, the best possible Medical facilities, accompanied with the most competitive prices, you can get the treatment done in India at the lowest prices.
Hope this helps.
There is a good San Diego Lasik website. It has lots of info and some very informative Lasik articles. See the links below:
If the surgeon who did your LASIK is experienced and comfortable treating you, you should be perfectly fine.
Minimum corneal thickness for a retreatment is 250 microns.
There are other options if your cornea is too thin later on – such as Refractive Lens Exchange (same as cataract surgery which they take the natural lens out and replace it with an artificial lens which can see close up and distance) or Visian Implantable Collamer Lens (contact lens implanted in the eye permanently to help with distance vision.) As your surgeon about these options or get a 2nd opinion if you’re not too sure about doing LASIK again.
Good luck
