In the spring of 2000, I was 20 years old who's "dream" of having Lasik became a reality. To begin with, I thought this procedure was truly a miracle. I mean how is it possible to be sooo blind and then see without prescription glasses or contacts? Less than two years later, my vision declined and I began to wear glasses. I wasn't seeing "clearly" with them, but it was better than nothing. As time passed, my vision continued to decline. I finally got a diagnosis in 2004 as Ectasia / Keratectasia after LASIK after many, many doctor visits/tests at various cities. I underwent a cornea transplant in 2008 on my left eye. This has been such a struggle! The donor cornea tried to reject me and I had to go thru a procedure to save it. I have since undergone two cornea relaxation surgeries due to extensive astigmatism. I have had stitches in my eye a total of 21 months now, crazy!! Who knows how much longer they'll be in there either! I did have to get tearduct plugs put in both eyes due to dry eye from Lasik before cornea transplant. I still can't see in this eye and have daily struggles with migraines due to "off-balanced" vision. My vision has not "stabilized" yet, but when it does, I need a cataract... yes at 30 years of age I need cataract surgery with lens implantment. Not looking forward to this!! I was also told by a retina specialist that due to the extensive surgeries I've had, I'm at high risk for retina detachment. I fear for my future vision...will I have any?? Will I be blind?? I have two kids and I don't want to miss out on anything visually. Unfortunately, my vision has greatly affected me in many areas of life. If I had to do all over again, no question about it, I would be tickled to death to have my glasses and Lasik wouldn't even be a option!! Research before you have any kind of surgery. I thought I did research this tons, but unfortunately it still wasn't enough...
