choosing to mess with your eyes is a big choice..one i thought about a year..then had to wait an additional 10 months for my corneas to go back to normal shape...I chose to go with my current eye doctor..as i wanted the one checking my eyes ..knowing my history..and following up...i was more confident in that...i am two weeks past lasik..seeing 20/25 both eyes at this time...after being 20/2200..so far no halos or glare...like the horror stories people told me...the surgery took a few minutes...no pain...and just a little dry eye discomfort afterward..infection is a big thing after...many people see and feel good after..so they quit medicating..i think that is a big issue..i am looking forward to the dusty horse trail without crying with contacts..I would do it again in a second! i wish you luck in what you decide to do ;o)
