I only know one person who had the surgery and her outcome wasn't the best.

Costs seem to vary quite a bit. My optometrist told me to get only what Medicare pays for: "No extras!"
Good advise from your optometrist, I got what Medicare and my Humana paid, yes I still wear glasses, but if you choose otherwise you might have to pay thousands extra. My surgery was done in Virginia by Dr. Bundy he owns Virginia Eye Institute, he is a friend, he recommended Dr. Panzo here which I am seeing every year, but my vision is still great!!!!!!
