Had mine done Nov 2000.

Unbelievable results, no problems reading the very bottom line on the eye charts.

Back then it cost like 2800, i think.

As for the whole experience... You go in for a checkout... to see if you're a candidate for laser correction. They tell you about lasik/PRK... lasik is the best... after the checkout process, you see the doctor and he reviews and tells you how the process goes and what your results should/will be.

Day of the operation.. you walk in, wait until called... go inside this room.. lay down... doctor preps your eyeballs... sucks them into position, slices the flap back... machine moves over your eye... you can see the laser... it smells like something burning.. almost like at the dentist if he's drilling... once the machine is done... he flushes your eye.. puts the flap back.. and makes sure it's all clean/flat.

Next eye.. samething.

whole experience was about 10 minutes max. When you come out, you can still see but your vision is blurry and not light sensitive yet. They give you these big black glasses and tell you to go home for 24 hours and do NOTHING.

Well, DO THAT... go home and sit with a cold face cloth over your eyes and don't let light in. My eyes were very light sensitive for about 1 hour... but it goes away... THAT DAY .. probably 8 hours after the operation i looked at the tv and could actually see it.. not 100% crisp but the vision was good. Next morning, your eyes are great... you can see everything but you get a bit blurry if you don't use your eye drops like they said. I used my eyedrops the whole time until he said I didn't have too.. i forget now..

To this day, my eyes are great... you will exerpience sharp/brilliant colors... and a whole new feeling with your eyes done... I highly recommend it.

If I did it again today, i'd not search out the cheapest price.. i'd look for a doctor that has a proven track record.

IT'S WELL WORTH IT FOR LASIK...
