Just had this surgery done and was so surprised at how well I can see in only one day. Was relunctant to do it, but with car lights blinding me, getting harder to drive at night, and parking within the lines an issue thought it wasn't going to get any better.

Heard some stories and it was a bit scary, but decided it was now or never as reading a book was getting to be a task because of the the distortion with astigmatism which seems to be gone.

Insurance paid most of it except a small deductible.

Thank goodness for the N.H.S as it's free over here. Cost privately is about £2,000 for just one eye.

Laser eye surgery is commonplace here especially in the elderly. Pleased that you are happy with your surgery.

Well I suppose you'd expect that from a class eye, I had my third eye done, I can see the future now
