How does laser eye surgery work? - Dan Reinstein

I had Z-Lasik done and literally walked out the hospital able to see through the clear plastic strapped around my eyes 😎 it was the best decision I ever made

That was so intriguing to see! Definitely cringed at the idea of slicing the eye open though! Ooooof!

Despite inventing corrective eye surgery, Barraquer didn't even win a nobel prize

I just went through FEMTO Lasik, like yesterday. And my vision is already perfect after more or less 12 hours. Science truly amazes me!

I have glasses.but i am not going to trust any doctor for this ,what if doctor did a mistake during the operation, i don't want to be blind😅

I'm 18, I can't wait until I'm old enough to get LASIK. I hate how I look in glasses.

Well explain !!! mera bhi ICL huya tha Dr Sanjay Chaudhary k through and it was life changing situation all together.

If the machine malfunctions, then what would happen? 🤔

Decades ago I went to a hospital presentation for eye surgery. There were 2000 people there wanting to learn more. Everyone was super excited about this expensive new procedure and they all wanted to do it. The mistake the Hospital made at the very end was showing the actual procedure. 2000 people growned and turned around and walked out the door.

I am crying out about 300ml tears a day?

So let me get this straight. First, everyone was talking about your eye ball lengthening and being the main culprit of myopia. Which was unbelievable, because there's not much room for eye to keep lightening horizontally inside eye socket. Now, in this video they talk about cornea being the main culprit of myopia and hyperopia. Where CORNEA shape is the problem. So which one is it doctors? Feels like the eye lengthening or being too short horizontally was just a hypothetical assumption which the entire industry just accepted as the truth.

Now, you are telling everyone that that is not the case? Well in that case, cornea naturally can thicken and thin itself over time. Ortho-K contact lenses already function this way, where they reshape your cornea over night while you sleep to give you 20/20 vision for the rest of the day.

So far over 50 thousand patient got LASIK done at EyeSTAR in Istanbul and achieved 20/20 vision %99 !

You never mentioned how this happens when a patients eye is constantly moving during the surgery.

imagine getting a surgery that isnt familliar

what an awesome presentation - animations and sound effects all!! Cool!

That was great. Thank you.

@rash8153 that qoyld not be fun

I have watched alot of videos about lasik but this was the best one finally I understood what's going on. I thought they remove the whole cornea.

Why this video looks like 1hrs long😅

No other risks? That cut off bit then connects with the eye or just stays cut?

I would add some negatives to the surgeries that are not mentioned in the video in order to also help people thinking about this procedure. I am definitely not an expert, but this is some info I gathered during my investigations to have the surgery myself. Feel free to mention if something is wrong!
-First of all, there could be a discussion on if the cause of all these vision problems is the deformation of the eyeball itself instead of the cornea. Then glasses, contact lenses and refractive surgery are not addressing the cause of the problem, only good habits will (but those good habits are very incompatible in the modern life).
-The flap is quite deep and therefore seems to not be 100% fully healed just like nothing happened, therefore LASIK is not recommended for people who practice contact sports.
-Surgeons seem to be hesitant to practice SMILE for low prescriptions because it needs to be ultra precise and it is therefore risky.
-People with myopia have better close-distance vision and that can delay the inevitable effects of aging eyes. So if the refractive surgery is performed, that advantage is lost.
-Surgery for aging eyes seems to not be definitive since it's a progressive degeneration.

FASCINATING! 💎👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I had eye laser treatment the other day it cost me an arm and a leg I now have 20/20 vision but one arm and one leg

People who don't have eyesight issues just take it for granted they wake up and can just see haha

My glass power is -8. Can I get it done? How much would it cost?

I am thinking to have the LASIK surgery because my numbers are insane (-4 on the right eye and -5 on the left one), but then i see some people who can afford the surgery but don't want it. That's why i am in a state of confusion where on one hand i think LASIK surgery is a boon to people with blurry vision and in other hand why most people don't have it done like it has to have some serious side effects or high risks.
Let me know guys if there are some serious side effects or high risks if you have undergone the LASIK surgery.

Thank you so much for producing such informative content. You don't know how you are taking away doubts of people. My people fear for lasik due to lack or incorrect vision.

nice video !! ❤✌👍

Omg how did he convince this man to be his first patient🥴

Having lasik was the worst decision my life. I’ll regret it for the rest of my life.

Make a video on rhinoplasty

Blast your eyeballs back into the right shape

I did eye surgery 7-8 years ago and forgot I ever wore glasses ….

4 years before my grandpa died, he lost *his *vision forever! Happened when he was 85 or 86. But I don’t think he got eye surgery.

I'll stick to wearing glasses thank you.

I had smile done and it was quick

4k for something that takes 30 seconds... What a scam!

Ohh thank you for this video I wanted to have this operation❤❤

First patient is a real one

I need this, I suddenly developed far-sightedness when I turned 40. It was so sudden, I was like, wtf, why can't I read my phone without glasses?!

So, with “aging eyes”, which I have - I wonder why they can’t laser the lens to resize it back so you can focus again .. 🤔 Obviously there’s a reason - guess I’ll just Google it …

Glasses are not Really a bad choice you Know

Does this surgery make your eyes sensitive to sunlight or strong white lights? Because this is what I've heard. Can anyone please tell us if it's true and if there's any side effects

Had my left eye done in 1999 and the right in 2000. Best thing I ever did!

идиот, у людей с миопией не фокусируется не из-за хрусталика, а из-за удлинения глазного яблока!!!!!!

Do they use anesthesia before the procedure?
