Hi, No I have not had Lasik, but I have recently (one year ago) developed Severe dry eye, I'm learning so much about it now, and have joined a wonderful support site called Dry eye Zone, please check it out. I was amazed at how often this happens with Lasiks, I was actually considering having this done, to ditch the glasses, and now am so glad I did not. anyone with even slight dry eye is not a canidate for the proceedure, and the sad thing is not every center that is doing Lasiks is taking the time to really look at these pt before they have it done. Knowing what I know now, and how difficult it is to manage and live with this life altering condition, I would get myself as much education before hand as poss. good luck to you, and, I don't mean to be such a downer, I know a lot of people who have had successful Lasik, my son included, but having Dry eyes is so awful, I don't know that I would personally risk it before checking it out completely.
