| I'm finding it harder and harder to tolerate my contact lenses.
But I see much better with them than with my glasses.
Has anyone with lupus ever had LASIK surgery?
What are the results? side-effects?
From my quick research, it seems like it's not an
absolute bar to the procedure, but I'd like to hear
your experiences.

| Hi, my opthamogist said he would be very hesitant to do Lasik on me because
of possible scar tissue. He said if I really wanted it, he would do one eye
at a time at 6 month intervals. I chose not to.

| I have Lupus and have had LASIK. I truely did not know of the possible
complications prior to having it done; or chose to keep my "head in the
sand" so that I could have my way, possibly.
I can say that I still wake up each day and have a thankful heart because
I am able to see. And see clearly, which really was never accomplished
from wearing contacts or glasses. It was the best money that I ever
spent!
