It was at what is now Lasik MD, on Georgia St in Vancouver BC. The guy I had is now retired, unfortunately. Their prices have come way down - I paid a little over $3000, but it was worth every penny. They're now advertising $500 an eye.

Do lots and lots of research first. Know exactly what you're getting into. They offer free consultation and will absolutely tell you if you're not a Lasik candidate. That isn't the only option anyway.

So, I went through the thing and rested for about 20 minutes and toddled toward the hotel - you really want to sleep right away to let the tissue start to heal. The Doc says, "Oh, those glasses in your pocket? You'll never wear them again. Drop them in the box at the door. We'll give them to the homeless."

When I got up the next morning I opened the curtains in the hotel room, which was overlooking the harbor. Vancouver is stunningly beautiful. Saw a seaplane landing, and I realized I could read the side numbers. Unbelievable.
