fisherguy Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 So glad to be doing it, i am getting LASEK surgery. Found the best place in the area, it is a hospital eye institute with a proven track record, and the best of everything. Turns out i will not be getting the kind where they cut the flap off because it only heals to 80% and a blow to the eye can be trouble. Most of the private clinics said that kind would be best, but turns out it is because that is the only kind they could do lol. Just shows reasearch is critical. I will have to wear protective contacts for a week, and minimize eye strain for 3 or 4 days so they recommend i miss school to get the best results. I can live with that. $3000 including 8 follow up visits(more if necessary) and any touch up that may be required if i do not have 20/20 or better. Lots of places offer packages for more like $2000 but these are my only eyes so i think i will pay the extra for better quality. Wish me luck, and if anyone needs some glasses i can mail them to you as of april 5th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarvDog Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Re: April 4th i toss my glasses! I had laser surgery 4 years ago. I'm still seeing 20/20 after being almost 20/400 for years. I am SO glad I did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
