I used Lake Eye. The Doctor and his staff were excellent. The scheduling department was a joke.

I was told Bargain Basement, then up one, two, or three notches at $1000 per notch. Speaking with the people in the waiting room helped me decide on Bargain Basement. Those were the only people who weren't having any trouble. I was told I may need cheaters for reading. It went great. After about a year I got something called floaters? Little spots that come and go. They hardly bother me anymore.

I'm very grateful for the skill my Doctor has because I don't like anything around my eyes.

Thank you all for your reports. I am getting my pre-op three hour exam next Tuesday. My ophthalmologist handed me a handful of pamphlets and told me she uses them all. Apparently various eye conditions such as retinal astigmatism suggest or eliminate specific lenses. The lens I mentioned in my last post is the one she thinks might be my best choice. But the comprehensive pre-op exam will give her much more data.
