Lasik Eye Surgery
 
I just had this procedure done and it is amazing. About 20 minutes of extreme discomfort, but truly fantastic results. I'm still in the healing process right now so must avoid smokey/dusty areas and put drops in every hour I'm awake. I can however see very crisp and clearly, especially far far away. Individual leaves on trees and tiny bricks on buildings are things that were fuzzy blobs to me before without spectacles. Anyways, if anyone is thinking about getting this surgery done I recommend it.

Hey good for you....I had it done in 1997 and I'm an eye doc. Where in Toronto did u have it done? If you play at casinos freqently, it is the best investment ever bc ur wearing contacts for 24 hrs straight in a smokey casino is a killer and distracts u from playing A game.
I'm not sure why u were in extreme discomfort for 20 min...the procedure doesn't hurt at all. Word of caution, sometimes ur vision may regress after a few weeks so don't count ur chickens yet.....knock on wood.

I had it done at the Younge/Eglington laser eye center. The discomfort wasn't pain, it was just feeling helpless and scared. Never been able to handle eye stuff very well.

I had PRK done in January. Best money I've ever spent.

Even with the 2 days of icepick-in-my-eyes pain.

I had it done a couple of months ago on my left eye. They only had to redo the surgery three times in three days! By the third time my eye was so raw I had to take so much pain medication that I slept for 24 hours. And even now my eye isn't really usable (went from too far sighted to too near sighted). So I get to go in tomorrow for my fourth operation! Not to fix it, but to prepare it for my fifth operation! Which hopefully will fix it.

Laser Surgery rocks, dude!

Had it done in early 2003 - best money ever spent. Went from cokebottles to 20-20.

You jackass, you came all the way to TO and didn't even stop by to say hello.

And my office is on the corner of Yonge and Eglinton.

Had it done 3 weeks ago. My vision is now better than 20/20. Still a little dryness, but it's almost gone now.

Best money I've ever spent! (including hookers!!!)

Good for you guys [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

The place I went to for a screening said they don't have enough experience with my prescription. I don't like German Shepards, so I folded [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I think I'll try contacts.
