Post-RK Lasik Eye Surgery (short version)
This condensed video shows a PRK Lasik eye surgery using a radial knife to cut the “flap”. Because the patient had previously had RK surgery, the flap had to be completely removed (due to scarring) rather than laid back into place as in typical PRK. The full procedure is generally painless and took only 9 minutes. This video is shortened even further to keep it interesting, however, all steps in the surgery process are still included. The music is “St. Thomas” by Technician. More music and videos free to the public at JCMDI.COM

Someone had marked this as Spam but I brought it back from spamdom, as I think it made a good point. (Note, I’m not a Dr, I just videoed a televised surgery). While there actually ARE success stories, I’ve heard plenty of horror stories, too. RK/Lasik correction doesn’t change over time as your eyes do, and you can’t keep going back like getting new prescription eyeglasses every year. Halos and starburst effects are also common side effects. Definitely do your research before signing up! 8|
Yes, but the LASIK doctors are ALL CHARLATANS…you are absolutely misrepresenting and misdefining “Success Rates” stating a 95.4% success rate however YOU the Doctor/Asking the patient for $5k…Why don’t you tell the truth to your patients for once in your life! Why don’t you tell them the FLAP never heals, permanently scars a perfectly healthy cornea, only lasts for a short time, and leaves about 1,000,000 Americans ruined with no recourse…Be a man, and practice the f..n Hippocratic Oath!
It’s definitely cool when it’s used to correct an imperfection in an otherwise stable eye. However, beware that most poeples’ eyes change over time especially after 40, so the corrected effect might not last more than a year or two before corrective lenses are needed again. Unlike getting a new lens prescription, these surgeries can’t be performed on a recurring basis, so it’s important to know exactly what your vision issues are before you sign up. Do a lot of your own research first.
This video is a big relief: I’m not as afraid about fixing my left eye. Thank you!
fascinating!
eww….

YouTube: FDA LASIK and watch and listen to the estimated 600,000 ruined lives!!!
Yes - all the surgeries are done with only local anesthetic. There is no pain (or very little) during surgery, and usually very little (a little irritaion is how it’s described by most patients) afterwards in most cases.
are you concious when they do this? that round thing that leaves the mark around your eye looks very painful if its leaving a bloodline
If 10,000,000 Americans have had LASIk and the FDA says there is a 5% dissatisfaction rate, that equates to 500,000 Americans being hurt. A much higher number than the 142 currently being reported. See what I mean about the Lies? I think the true number of eyes hurt is more like 25% of all eyes over a 10 year period. Remember, the FLAP never heals.

Wow! That made my eyes real watery just now watching this…%]
Really neat vid.
This looks like PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) not lasik. Also the flap in LASEK (with E) and the “thing” you remove in PRK is the epithelium which grows back. The flap in LASIK also consists of stroma and stroma in contrast to epithelium does not back. The flap in LASIK also does not really heal. Just around the edge with help from epithelium. So it makes sense going for PRK or LASEK.
RK = (Radial keratotomy). Post Radial keratotomy NOT equals PRK (just so everyone understands)
Interesting wasn’t it? I was surprised how clearly you could see the old RK scars. Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed! I made and dispensed eyeglasses for about five years in the first half of 1980s. I took such an interest in that field, that I read everything pertaining to ophthalmology I could find. Thanks for showing this!
You probably had conventional all laser Lasik. Nice, isn’t it?
Most people have very little discomfort. For those people who previously had RK surgery or have other corneal scarring, the “flap” has to be completely removed, which results in 1-2 weeks of minor-to-moderate discomfort (like having something stuck in your eye) while the flap grows back.
i had lazik eye surgery just 2 days ago, and it feels gr8 now to see once u wake up in the morning , n it doesn’t hurt that much
Apparently it’d s pretty safe - those places are like an assembly line - surgeries every ten minutes or so - televised in the waiting room. Just amazing.
Ow - I once had a course in Anatomy and Physiology, and was told of surguries like that - Though what I heard of sounded a little more risky and painful.
i can look eye is really hurt
It can be a little hard to watch if you’re not accustomed to this sort of thing. I’ve found a number of other YouTube vids like this one, showing all kinds of variation in technique and procedure. They really do have it down to a science now.
Haha wow man, That was really cool. fI’ve always wondered how it seems to work. Thanks for posting this vid.
5 stars.
OK, this I couldn’t watch.
That was really interesting, even though I am rather sensitive about things like this.. I am very interested in work like this and macro views of the eye, and I’m also interested in lazer eye stuff as well.. thanks for sharing this, it was very very detailed for being shortened to under 3 minutes… but not for the squeemish!!
