Having had both eyes done I can testify that it works very well.

For the record........ the time being processed before the actual procedure took more time than the procedure.

Thanks for the information. I have been told that the procedure is as you stated, more prep work than eye cutting...(still, it is my eye..)

My sister had both of her eyes done and loved the new look (no glasses) and the better vision.

I will keep a stiff upper lip and mutter under my breath (please Mr. Custer, I don’t want to go...)

:-)
