Default best thing I ever did

Both hubby and I had lasik several years ago. Prior to that, my glasses were like coke bottles, now I do not need glasses. I actually had to have it done twice, my eyes were so bad, the first result was 20/50. Doc asked me if I wanted to get 20/20, I said yes. It was six months between first and second procedure. Now, with age, I just need reading glasses. It is so wonderful to see clearly after wearing glasses since the age of 7.

The procedure is totally painless....but mentally painful. It lasted less than 3 minutes per eye and results were immediate.

I am one of those folks that ended up with halos...this means I see halos around lights, but only while driving at night. Doc prescribed glasses just for driving at night, works great. I am very happy...highly recommend.

Sorry, cannot provide name of local doc, I had it done over 10 years ago "back home" in the northeast.
