Lasik surgery?

My Brother in Law had it done 12-14 years ago. Said it was by far the best money he has ever spent.

I did it about 6 or 7 years ago
2k per eye
Biggest regret was not having it done sooner
No issues yet
Had Lasik
Eye Medical Center behind OLOL is where I went


Again, biggest regret was not having it done sooner

3 years ago. Dr Singer in Metairie. Around $2k total. Best $2k I ever spent

Jeffrey singer did my mom's eyes and my neighbor's. Both said they wish they did it sooner.

That’s exactly the way I felt. I wish I would have done it 15 years sooner that I did. It was the best $2k I ever spent

Like most people, I will say it was money well spent and would do it again. That said, it did mess with my contrast sensitivity a bit so that I have a harder time seeing in dark areas than before and almost need sunglasses on a bright day.

I want it but have some serious anxiety about it.

Had it done several years ago when it was fairly new... Best thing I've ever done.. Only problem I've contracted diabetes which weakened my eyes and now I'm back to glasses... I need to call and see if I can have it done again

I tried having it done. But the doctor recommended one eye with a distant focal point, and the other with a closer focal point. They said most patients prefer this and most who do have eyes focused on distance only, regret it because they often need reading glasses after the procedure.

So I was able to take it for a test drive with contact lenses. They said my brain would adjust within a week. It didn't happen. Image quality went down, regardless of how close or distant the image was. I elected to stick with my previous contact lenses and infrequent use of reading glasses. I even fried closing one eye to see how it would be if focused on distance alone. It became obvious how much more dependent I would become on reading glasses if I corrected for distance only.
