We had good results from lasik - Lasik Eye Surgery Message Board

I see they have started a new board. I guess I'll be the first to post. I had lasik surgery 7 years ago and my daughter had it about a year and a half ago and we have both been very pleased with the results. I think that some doctors are better than others as far a accurate results go so I asked our optometrist for advice on who to go to for the surgery and so we had the good results. I know that some people have trouble with side effects afterwards, but we didn't have any.

I had good results with it too. I first had it done in Feb. 2002. I went from seeing 20/400 (legally blind) to seeing 20/30 in a matter of minutes. When I had my 2-week check up, it had corrected to 20/20. In January 2004 I noticed that I wasn't seeing as good as I had just after surgery. My eye doctor suggested I have it "tweaked" a little, so I did (the cost of that was covered in the initial payment), and I haven't had any problems since. I'm very glad I did it. I always tell people that if I could go back in time, and carry the knowledge of present-day with me, and make the decision to do it again or continue wearing glasses, that I would definitely still do it again.

I had Lasik eye surgery about 4 yrs ago and it was the best money I've ever spent! I came out seeing 20/15 and highly recommend it, if you can afford it!
Any DON'T go to the cheapest doc you can find - do your research on the docs in your area! I paid $3800 but it was still worth it - wish I had done it earlier!
