I've debated it but I wonder what, if any, the long term effects are. It's pricey but given how overpriced glasses are, it seems worth it. I haven't been at my current job long enough for vision benefits to kick in. I should see if they cover part of it. Since I'm in Toronto, there's lots of reputable doctors around. Though the part where they peel your eye like a grape.
The last pair of glasses I got cost a whopping $45 from 39dollar glasses.com I had that set for probably 4 years (used at night after taking out contacts)
I had flapless Lasik done. The whole process for me took maybe 10 minutes counting walking from the waiting room to the procedure room, and back.
Totally worth it if you wear glasses/contacts full time.
My vision was pretty bad, I don't know the number, but at a regular distance from a computer monitor I couldn't read the text without corrective lenese.
I went from that, to being able to read a letter stapled to the ceiling of the procedure room in literally the blink of an eye.
If you were contacts, you will have to stop wearing them for 2-3 weeks before the procedure.
After the procedure, I was in some major discomfort if i had my eyes open. Forget looking at a computer or TV. I basically laid in bed the rest of that Friday sleeping. Sat things were still really bright, but i could watch TV from a distance. Sunday was a lot better. Monday everything was normal. It's been a year now and my vision is still perfect.
