I have decided to seek a second opinion and wait a little bit more, only been about 90 days at this point. <br />Glad that you are following us!<br />"Mo"Mer and Mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04841484504617964499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731388872086858691.post-11204392771953774932011-03-06T15:21:08.019-08:002011-03-06T15:21:08.019-08:00Dry eye is so uncomfortable.

The eye surgeon I work for won't risk LASIK surgery on her own eyes, but recommends it to all her patients. Go figure. Not to be trite, but it seems (after working with physicians and surgeons for 18 years) that most patients get what they expect to get from their treatments. We have very ill patients who do astonishly well after treatment because they expected to do well. We have patients with relatively easy to treat conditions who simply don't heal no matter what (with no explanation)and they usually have "deeper issues" for not healing. Most of the doctors I've worked for agree that most of the time what the patient expects to happen, usually happens. If you're worried about having plugs put in (beyond the normal nervousness about having it done), then perhaps you should wait a little longer and see how you feel in a couple of months. Nervousness about a procedure is normal. Your post indicates that you might be a little past "just nervous." I hope this helps a little bit. <br />Blessings whatever you choose to do. <br />JackieParry Peachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16664473137272413037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731388872086858691.post-63379561915103246642011-03-03T20:19:01.259-08:002011-03-03T20:19:01.259-08:00I have been told that this would be permanent, but...I have been told that this would be permanent, but if they have to be removed they would be surgically removed. I have recently read that some of them are temporary, plus some go in and have to be removed/replaced on a regular basis. I have realized that being over 40 I might have to have reading glasses even with the surgery. The dry eye issue has been a real eye opener - LOL - <br />MOMer and Mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04841484504617964499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731388872086858691.post-43761854134792815222011-03-03T18:49:34.279-08:002011-03-03T18:49:34.279-08:00I already have a problem with dry eyes so I've...I already have a problem with dry eyes so I've never really considered Lasik. Not to mention, I really like my glasses!<br /><br />Anyways....if you can this done can it be taken out? If the eye plugs really hurt you or cause nothing but problems are they removable?The Fat Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11311722316950527962noreply@blogger.com
