I’m 22 years old and I’ve had glasses since I was 10 or 11. I really want contacts but every time I try, they bother my eyes. I have a slight astigmatism in both eyes and both eyes are also more dry than they should be, though I don’t have dry eye. When I tried Acuvue, they were too small on the left eye and kept slipping. I tried another brand that just bugged my eye. At the same time, I’m a little hesitant to do lasik because of the cost and risks. Does anyone know some good contact brands I could try, or have any advice about the lasik?

How much does Lasik eye surgery cost, what kinds of different surgeries are there, and anything else to know..?
I really dont know a whole lot about the surgery, however it seems like a dream come true!
I do have an astigmatism in both eyes and my rx is -3.75 and -3.50 and actually got a little better this last check up.
I just want some information, some experience stories, or just anything you’d like to add
thanks

I have been doing some research on LASIK, and I wanted to get some personal perspectives from those who have had the surgery. Anything and everything you can think of to offer would be greatly appreciated! I am nearsighted with a slight astigmatism in my left eye. I wear soft contacts and glasses and am very interested in LASIK as a cost alternative. Thanks in advance!

so i have an astigmatism in my right eye, and my sight is jacked up in that one eye. i have a hard time with putting in contacts, idky, and i was wondering about lasik.
does anyone know how much it costs? and if getting the laser kind is some kind of hassel compared to getting the one were they cut your eye with a knife(which is never going to happen to my eye)? and isnt there something different if your dealing with an astigmatism?

Besides glasses, contacts can be worn to improve astigmatism, LASIK can sculpt the cornea to a round shape and an overnight lens can be worn to reshape the cornea.

I am seventeen and have terrible vision with a very rare astigmatism. I live in northern Texas so I’m not positive what the price would be.
The cost of my contacts and glasses are really a hassle because my astigmatism is so rare. My contacts actually run around 0.00 every three months!
So if anyone could inform me AT ALL. I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks (:

I’ve been wanting lasik eye surgery for a long while now coz I’m so sick of contacts and glasses. Is there monthly payments or payment in full? And will getting lasik get rid of astigmatism, or lazy eyes as well??

..I have a rather high prescription -8.50 (in one eye), and a high level of astigmatism.. Would this make it more expensive? And if so, how much would an estimate be?

I live in Texas, No insurance.
Just looking for a ballpark figure.
I have a minor astigmatism and I am tired of wearing and paying for glasses
