Was not a candidate for lasik, but got ICL done. It was much more expensive than lasik, but I would’ve paid double to have it done.

I got mine 15 years ago.
It’s fading a bit so I started wearing glasses about a year ago. I can go without them if I need to so still WAY better than it was when I could barely see my hand in front of my face.

No way in hell. I'd rather keep my specs.

Has nothing to do with having or not having specs. That's a vitrectomy. They remove vitreous gel from your eyeball or fix a detached retina. I only had a loose glob of gel removed. I was scared as hell. Wasn't nothing to it....felt stupid afterwards. The surgery drugs were great.

I worn glasses since 5th grade and, a few years ago, had a slight cataract in both eyes and had the surgery. Was 56 and easily the youngest person in the waiting room. Easy surgery and I see 20/20 now. I was asleep for both procedures. Still need readers as I didn’t go the near/far option. Insurance covered most. My cost for both was $200.

$4200

Not that, but I've had two cataract surgeries, two Yag laser procedures, a retinal peel to repair a torn retina and two vitrectomy surgeries to clean out the debris from all the combined surgeries and procedures.My vision is amazingly good now at between 20/20 and 20/25.

Got it a week and a half ago. It was $4200, paid with money sitting in an old company funded HSA, so according to my wife’s girl math it was free.
The first hour being home, before I was able to nap it off, it felt like my eyes were on fire with someone pouring alcohol on them. That sucked. But I woke up about 3 hours later and felt perfectly fine. Aside from spots of dry eye here and there (less than I expected) they’ve felt like nothing happened and are 20/20.
Do it.
ETA: that cost is all in, including follow ups and a correction if necessary.

I’m in the 1% that it didn’t take. Was great for about a month and then my eyes reverted back. I went thought our vision insurance who had a special going on where it was about $4k but they had a $2k rebate + HSA. My eye dr later told me he wouldn’t have recommended me as a candidate due to the severity of my astigmatism. All lasik did was invert it went from horizontal football to vertical.

12 years and 2 days ago. Paid either $3-4K. Best money I ever spent. Definitely wouldn’t hesitate. I’m fixing to turn 42, and I definitely notice the sharpness decreasing in certain situations. I don’t need readers yet, but I can tell I’m not 20/10 in my left and 20/15 in my right anymore. When I got it, I hoped for 15-20 years of clear vision and no glasses.
