This is the end of a very long journey for me, one that has led me all the way from Australia to Mumbai, India. I wish I had more time to reflect but I have to be up early for surgery tomorrow and thought writing something is better than nothing. My background is that I have extreme hyperopia,... Read more

Hello everyone, Looking at all the negative stuff written about lasik, I thought I should share my experience, since it is a positive one. I wore contact lenses for about 14 years. I couldn't wear glasses because my diopters were so high (-7.5 and -8.0) I would get a headache right behind... Read more

Wavelight Allegretto Laser surgery was the best decision I ever made.  I was scared and hesitant about having the procedure at first.  Being dependent on glasses and contacts left me feeling disabled.  I never thought my eyes were capable of seeing so clear, it was like a miracle... Read more

I have wanted to do LASIK for awhile, but recently it's really been something I want done. We are going on a Cruise in October, so a few months ago I gave myself a goal to have it done before then. I can hardly wait to wear all the cute sunglasses, and watch tv in bed without my glasses on. Oh... Read more

Five years ago, if I spread my hand out, and touched my thumb to my nose, I couldn't see my pinkie. I couldn't see the time for the clock, let alone the trees for the forest. I was 21 when I had Lasik: an early bird in some sense, but my wretched pinkie vision gracefully hadn't... Read more

I have been dependent on glasses or contacts to see as I suffered from an astigmatism for 20 years. As a television sports reporter, my job is to SEE the action. Whether it's a homerun, a touchdown or the scoreboard, it seemed like the further away those things were, the more difficult it became... Read more

Pre-surgery: FridayI had convinced myself that it was financially reasonable, that the benefits were worth the risks, and that I really needed something to help me out; improve my life, make things easier. I also felt it was an opportune time to do it; I’m 28, young but not too young, my... Read more

Most of siblings had gotten this done, and while I loved wearing cute glasses, I really got tired of the limitations eyewear put on me as far as rock climbing, softball, and running. I had tired of misplacing glasses, dealing with contact dryness, scheduling eye appointments, shoving loose... Read more

I have worn glasses pretty much my whole life. I changed to contacts way back and have always had issues with them, from not fitting properly to bad prescription, to changing to gas permiables.

I had my Lasik done by Dr. Caster a few months ago and I'm seeing great! My vision is 20/20. I am so happy I did this. The only regret I have is that I didn't do this sooner. The day of my surgery I was very nervous. They gave me a pill and it helped to relax me. I had drops put in my eyes and... Read more

I started wearing glasses when I was 13 yrs old and over the yrs my vision kept on getting worse. I was told I had astigmatism to which I was totally clueless what it meant.
