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!"
My experience there wasn't so great. I wanted to improve my distance vision, but knew the trade-off would be that I'd need glasses for reading. After the procedures, I discovered that I see anything 6' away or further much better with 1.25 power reading glasses! And I still need glasses for reading as well.

I asked another doctor there if they may have put in the wrong lenses, and he said something about my eye changing shape. (???) In other words, not their fault. I doubt that, but I know of no recourse. Hard for me to recommend them.
