Getting it done at International Eye Care on May 31st. Anyone here had it done? What are your thoughts?
I wouldn't even do it if it was free. My eyes are too damn important to me at the moment. My fear is the flaps they cut away might not heal properly and this procedure is irreversible.
Did it about 8 years ago and best money I ever spent. Not having to worry about contacts, etc well worth it. Waking up with 20/15 vision every morning again is priceless.
all of my friends who had it done had great results my vision is perfect and my eyes burn about 50% of the day + i have some weird eye muscle/focusing issues now so yeah, while the success rate is insanely high, i'm an exception (in a bad way)...and therefore don't recommend it
I had mine done at International Eye Care about 2 1/2 years ago. By FAR the best money I have ever spent in my entire life.
Had it done in December. One of the better decisions I've ever made. Went from almost legally blind to better than 20/20. They created the flap using the "intralace" laser which apparently corrects a lot of the minor issues people had in the past. A bit more expensive though. Other than being pretty uncomfortable for about 1/2 a day following the procedure, I haven't had a single problem.
I had mine down +/- 5 years ago now. I have had some deterioration, especially in the last year, since. Particularly at night time. I am definitely NOT 20/20 anymore. Perfectly fine for everyday use, and don't anticipate having to wear glasses again or correct the procedure for some time, but just saying, every experience is different. it doesn't help that i stare at a computer screen a lot of the day, and got an iphone within the last year. i don't think i'm doing my eyes any favors with the strains i put on them... I am still very happy i got it done. It was quick and painless really. I had 20/15 vision for a while, and just have had some slippage. I hope slippage stops, but if not, I will be back in glasses/contacts/surgery again in the future, but that's life.

I think I need a few more degrees in correction so I plan to go back in a few months and try to get a touchup (1 free w/in 12 months for me) You can charge it through Flex plans though, which will save you around 3-500 bucks in taxes
i had prk done a year ago. overall i am happy with it. i had it done by Dr. Koch at Baylor Vision. it was $4000.
