This, from the agency that has put DIY abortion into the hands of mothers?
Maybe I’m a snob, but $395/eye at the mall seems like a bad idea. $5,000 to the guy that did NFL Players, Jerry Seinfeld, etc, and my wife has had no problems in 8+years, 20/15 in each eye (20/100+ Coke bottles before). Custom Lasik, IIRC
I had Lasik about 10 years ago for moderate nearsightedness, and will always regret it.
I suffer the stars and blurs at night, and everything is soft focus in any fairly dim room.
I told the doc that I was very picky about my vision, and he made plenty of promises.
The first shot was the wrong correction in one eye. The second led to some growth under the flap, and required a third.
For crappy results.
Some are delighted to go from a Yugo to a Camry. I want from a Bugatti (with correction) to a Camry.
The key problem is that I have larger pupils (at night) than the area they correct, so some of the light is uncorrected, causing the blur. The asshole doctor could have easily tested for this and advised, but didn’t.
These days they have better systems (”Waveform”?) So don’t hestitate to pay whatever it takes to get the best.
Because I lost some critical vision in one eye for presusambly unrelated reasons, I am not a good candidate to have the remaining eye upgraded.
When in doubt, don’t do it.

I`ll wait until they invent 3-D LASIK.

My wife and I both had LASIK 5 years ago. It was closer to a miracle than a surgery outcome.
This guy is hands down the best there is and who did our surgery!
