Use contact lenses if you don't like using glasses, its much better. Actually I was also thinking of LASIK but doctors here recommended continuing use of soft contact and glasses.

My sister in law got it done from Lahore 4 years ago and since then i never heared any complaint. If you follow precautions then you will not have any problems later on either you done in UK or in Pakistan.

My brother got it done from Lahore bout 10 years ago and his eye sight is perfectly fine MashAlalh. But I would not risk my eyes unless I can trust somebody. There is a saying

I had it done from clifton karachi through a reputible eye hospital back in 2006 very good experience. Before lasik done, I was not able to see my face in the mirror without glasses but after that I got 20/20 vision. One of my colleague did it from Lahore and he is also very much satisfied. It actullay depends on from where you are going to get it done. Although a competent doctor will charge you a bit more but the chances of getting good results are also very high.

I saw ppl in the west also getting worst result due to unprofessional doctors despite of having latest equipment.

excess use of contact lense may harm your cornea and vision can be lost forever. It would be good to go through laser pain once and get rid of lenses forever.

well that's what doctor recommended me "using mix of glasses and soft contact". My doctor mentioned similar reason as below. For work I am using glasses while for leisure using 1 day.


http://vision.about.com/od/lasikandvisionsurgery/f/LASIK_Effects.htm

Possible lost vision:


  • Occasionally, some patients will see a deterioration in their best corrected vision. You may not see as well after the surgery as you did with eyeglasses or contact lenses before.
  • Severe dry eye syndrome:
    Some patients lose the ability to produce sufficient tears after undergoing LASIK, resulting in a condition referred to as dry eye syndrome.
  • Need for further procedures:
    Some patients may require a "touch up" procedure after having LASIK to further correct their vision. Changes may occur during the healing process that require further correction.
  • Need for reading glasses:
    People usually require reading glasses as they age, a condition referred to as presbyopia.Unfortunately, LASIK cannot correct presbyopia.

excess use of contact lense may harm your cornea and vision can be lost forever. It would be good to go through laser pain once and get rid of lenses forever.

My brother got it done from Lahore some 8-9 years back. It cost him Rs. 20,000, but perhaps there were only one or two hospitals doing it then, now there may be many. His number at that time was around -2.5 to -3.0. He is just fine with it and never used glasses again. But he has developed a little bit of sensitivity in his eyes, may be 5%. But if one can live away from dust etc., then there should be no problem.

It really depends what kind of surgery you need
If it is simple Lazek, then Lahore or Islamabad is as good as London,
In London it would cost 800 Pounds per eye and same in Lahore or Islamabad about 40K rupees

One trick you can play with laser correction clinics in London
Show you interest on their website, ask for some brochure or cost of surgery,
give them your email address
then don't contact them for a couple of months
they will then start sending you half price offers ...
