I had LASIK done back in 2000 and it worked wonders for me! I couldn't see much of anything without glasses. In order to wear contacts, I had to buy extended wear that cost $300 a pair and had special weights to keep them from rotating. Couldn't drive or even watch tv without correction. At that time, the cost for both eyes was $2,500 and I went to LASIK Plus in Columbus, Ohio. They tell you that they will try to get your vision as close to 20/20 as possible, but when they did mine.... I had 20/15!! That's better then what is supposed the be perfect vision!

My day of surgery was really scary. They did all they could to calm me and even gave me a valium. So they lay you down in a chair under this big laser. Then they prop your eye open with this clamp thing which was a bit uncomfortable, but not painful. Then they put some drops in your eye. They tell you to look at this red beam of light and not to move your eye. So the whole time I am thinking... "Oh my gosh, what if my eye twitches??" Well, they start the laser and it makes this ticking noise. I just feel slight pressure on my eye but it was almost unnoticeable. Then they take a little sponge and fold my corneal flap over to shape the eye underneath. When they fold the flap over you are immediately blind. That's right, totally blind in that eye except that you can barely make out the red light in the darkness. They keep telling you to look at the light. Still there is no pain, just slight pressure. A few minutes go by and they fold the flap back over and I can instantly see better then before! They smooth the flap, put more drops in, and sit you up. I just started crying histerically. I think it was a combination of joy because I could see better then ever, the valium, and the stress.

I know that all sounds scary, but it was well worth it!! I would do it again if need be! In fact, I have a lifetime warranty and free touch ups.
