Lasik eye surgery is rather safe if only you are a suitable candidate. As with any surgery, there is a definite risk incurred. You must be screened for suitability and examined by the doctor personally. (Not the sales team to mislead you to get expensive package deal).
If you are a suitable candidate, the risk maybe :-
1.)Dry eyes (temporary)
2.)Regression/ enhancement
3.)Infection (3-5/20,000 for the next 3 weeks)
4.)Flap/ complication of treatment (rare)
5.)Miscellaneous
A suitable candidate for Lasik surgery, it depends on:-
1.)Your corneal thickness
2.)Your power
3.)Your age
4.)A centre with a doctor who is examining your eyes personally
5.)Through explanation to suit your lifestyle
Always insist on seeing the doctor performing the surgery for you. It is the due deligent of him or her to present the risk and benefit to you in detail personally.

I have a weekly routine where on weekdays i run 2 miles in the morning. do push ups, sit ups, and calf raises in the afternoon. and jumprope in the evening. some people told me a couple days after lasik but others told me a month.
A month is correct. I am currently working at a Corporation for Lasik right now. Exercises is not good for you. Girl also can not wear eyes shadow for about 3 wks. Since I am an staff member I got my lasik for free, my sight is still good and I work on computer more than 12 hrs a day. Have you make your appointment for consultation? I recommend that you do because not all pt is a candidate to get lasik and make sure you get a doctor with long term experience. It should be free of charge. Your eye sight will be so clear right on the next morning. If you need any additional information, let me know.

Millions of people wake up every morning and have to reach for their glasses to see what kind of day it is. But each year over a million of these people decide to do something about it, and start looking into vision correction procedures. LASIK surgery has become a very popular alternative among the variety of choices available.
It is not only Interest in LASIK surgery that has increased dramatically over the past few years. So has the technology, the body of evidence and the quality of life for huge numbers of people. There are many ways that things become “popular” in our media-rich culture, but there are very good, very logical reasons that LASIK has become the vision correction method of choice. Certainly there are more than five reasons why LASIK surgery is now such a popular alternative, but to start you out in this particular area of study, we will start with these. Additional information at DocShop.com, and from other resources as well as the doctors you approach about the procedure, will eventually supply you with everything you need to make your own best decision in this important matter.
1. Famous athletes, politicians and entertainers—in addition to people from all walks of life—are attesting to the joy they feel now that they are able to see their world clearly and in focus. These testimonials have fueled increasing interest and excitement about this revolutionary procedure.
2. The evidence of many years now shows conclusively that Lasik patients recover more quickly than with other methods of vision correction. Considering the busy lifestyles in this day and age, the swift and simple LASIK procedure is favored also because it does not sideline the patient for any length of time. A day or two of rest is sufficient for most patients, who appreciate the fact that they can get back to work and to their family in short order—and see better, of course.
3. Another reason that LASIK surgery has become the preferred procedure for the majority of vision correction patients is because they notice significant vision improvements very soon after surgery. Although in some cases it make take several months for everything to “settle down” and get back to normal, in the vast majority of cases the improvement comes quickly and stabilizes quickly, too.
4. The number of adverse side effects is lower with the LASIK procedure than with other approaches, and the amount of post-operative pain is also less. This means that recovery is smoother and the patient does not need to be taking pain killers than will inhibit their ability to work and live normally. This is a very important consideration for many people.
5. A comparison of the LASIK cost with its proven outcome shows that the procedure is an incredible bargain. For several thousand dollars, a life of blurriness and eye fatigue can be replaced by one of clarity, focus and good old normal eyesight. Considering the importance of the sense of sight, LASIK surgery is an incredible bargain, and that is one of the reasons it has truly become the procedure of choice for correcting certain vision problems.
It is essential that, in your search for a LASIK surgeon, you do not merely rely on articles such as this, but dig deeper.

There are reports emanating from consumer experts that suggest that patients who undergo laser eye surgery are not being informed about the risks that accompany such treatment methods. In spite of this, laser surgery continues to rise in popularity and an associated risk with laser surgery is that the doctor performing the surgery may begin operating after just a few days of training and does not require any specialized courses or degrees.
Since the laser eye surgery procedure is perceived by patients as being simple and quick and has also received many celebrity endorsements it is quite popular in spite of the accompanying eye surgery risks that may not fully be taken into account when making a decision on the type of treatment required.
Low to Negligible Risks
There are different perceptions about laser surgery risks and these vacillate between non-existent to relatively low risk. There are however, in some rare cases, the risks of complications arising which may lead to corneal ectasia in which fluid pressure mounts in the eye and patients may require a corneal transplant to rectify the situation. A serious laser eye surgery risk, indeed!
Minor laser surgery risks include dry eyes or problems related to night vision that may result in not being able to drive or work in the evening or even in low lighted conditions. A major cause for concern in laser eye surgery risks is that the use of such surgeries have not been known for very long and so there are not adequate studies that can help define what the attendant laser surgery risks really may be. As with any surgical procedure, patients should be told that there is bound to be some amount of risk associated with laser eye surgery as well.
Laser eye surgery very often may cause the patient to feel a certain amount of discomfort and also have blurry vision for the first couple of days following surgery. However, these eye surgery risks are generally not serious problems. Common laser surgery risks include lasik and damage to the corneal flap, PRK and infection, under-correction, problems with night vision, no improvement in condition after the surgery as well as long term complications.
In the case of Lasik, the laser surgery risk is very slight and is as low as one in five hundred who might need to have their corneal flap to be cut off or it may become damaged as a result of the surgery. In approximately six percent of patients the surgery may result in under-corrected vision and the operation may need to be performed again. It has also been noted that as few as four to as high as 30 percent of patients may still have problems with night vision.
