Anybody got LASIK?

Have you looked into getting PRK instead? It depends on your personal issues with your eyes which one is better. I am planning on getting laser surgery myself cause I am tired of wearing Glasses and contacts are too much of a hassle to me to even bother with...

I just wish the AF would cover it so I don't have to out of pocket. It ain't cheap

Had it done last year and haven't looked back since. Well worth the expense

I would love to be able to do this but its not in the funds right now, however I have heard of one horror story where they had to redo the guys eyes twice and they can only do the surgery like 3 or 4 times total before they start damaging the eye instead of fixing it which is kind of scary, but I am sure it is a rogue case and not the norm.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that there is a 99.5% successful improovement rate I believe?
