i’ve held steady at -2.00 in each eye since high school (identical sphere, no astigmatism), so i’m not going to bother. i buy daily disposable contacts. ---

The reason for the attempt of lasik is Im in the process of trying to join the military. Ive been kicking my own ass all year (read Ive lost 45lbs to get to this point) only to get DQ’ed for my vision. I have to get it to -8.00 or better in both eyes to qualify even at that point I still may not be able to get in due to the fact of corrective surgery. But If I dont get in Ill still be able to see better atleast. God damn son… how do you even see with no glasses? Good luck… Like Lee, I’ve been to the screenings at TLC and Lasik Plus… I’ve hear good about both and that TLC is more expensive but the one doctor at lasik plus went to TLC! lol… he said it was more out of having his buddy do the procedure that just happened to work for his direct competition, but yeah… good choice. I’d get it done, but I like wearing glasses…? :dunno: ---

I have a couple questions? Were you nearsighted or farsighted? Where did you go? What was the cost? both of my cousins had it done. they are very happy with the results. i think it was around 900 a side. and i do believe it was done in an office over on 51. ill get details if youd like. ---

It does not matter what your script is… mine was only -3.25 since high school and its still the best thing I ever did! Plus over time, im sure you would save on contacts / solution, etc… Right now I don’t really mind putting contacts in and I’ve used the same prescription for about 3 years now, so it’s not getting worse. I spend about $80/year on contacts and a bottle of solution is about $7 and lasts me a year, if not longer. Lasik would make sense over the long run, but I am still leary about someone putting a laser to my eyes when my eyesight isn’t terrible right now. ---

I can’t wait to wake up in the morning and be able to see the clock or what ever with out putting my glasses on and then eventually my contacts. I just signed up for my Free 90 Minute consult at Lasok Plus on McKnight. I have a flex spending account at work so it is tax free money which is nice. ---

I have my Versace glasses and a pair of D&G … I never wear them. :tool: I have to get Full Laser meaning they need to use the Laser to create my flap instead of using the traditional way with a razor. Mine is $2000 an Eye. But they said if I get it done in the next 2 months and not wait to use my flex spending account, they will give me 25% off. So it will only be $1500 per Eye. Sounds good to me. ---
