i hear it's awesome. i'm nearsighted and i hate wearing my glasses. just wondering if anyone here had the operation done. it's supposed to be quick and painless with instant results. it also costs about $2,500.

I had it done last thursday. Cost $990 for both eyes. I had a pretty mild prescription, so the risk was lower. I never wore glasses or contacts, even though I was supposed to for driving (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)
Anyway, 1 week later and my vision has improved enough for me to say it's worth it to me. My distance vision is probably 20/25 or 30 now and my near vision has degraded a bit. I still have halos around bright lights. The docs say both the near vision and the halos will clear up within another week. Even if they don't, I'm happy I did it. |
