Honeydoo72 spent $1,700 in Maryland, MD Updated 1 day ago

Well, I recently started considering lasik. I looked forward to wearing sunglasses and have been uncomfortable wearing contacts lately. Yesterday I went in for my procedure and was informed that the doctor felt PRK would be a better procedure for me. In my preliminary work up I knew I would... Read more

My mommy makeover spent $3,500 in San Antonio, TX Updated 19 days ago

Right after the surgery I was pretty miserable. I took my pain meds as directed, but I remember my eyes being REALLY dry and sensitive to light. For a good 2 weeks afterwards I still wished I could slide on a pair of glasses to see right. But now, I barely think about it and enjoy all the... Read more

I had the PRK procedure two weeks ago. The doctor suggested this option due to my high prescription (-5.5 each eye) and because I had some scarring where the flap zone would have been. Long story short: I was in extreme pain that slowly diminished over three days. I only got 15 minutes of... Read more

I had PRK instead of LASIK because its safer even though it took a few more days to heal at first. It only took about 3 days though and it's so comforting to know that my eyes are all healed and can't get damaged due to having flaps like in LASIK. It was SO worth the $ to finally get this done....

jsl_toronto spent $4,500 in Toronto, ON Updated 2 months ago

A few days ago, I went to a consultation for laser eye surgery at Herzig Eye Institute. I went through a number of tests, most of them with an optometrist. The consultation included a standard eye exam, as well as some other procedures that I’ve never been through. I would say the strangest... Read more

NatashaR spent $4,500 in Toronto, ON Updated 2 months ago

I had PRK done Jan 2013 and its been about a month now. I have to say it has been worth it, and my eyes are still improving daily, weekly, etc. I started out with -4.5, -4.75 with astigmatism. I had my procedure done at TLC in Toronto and they are amazing. The day of the procedure, you... Read more

couponkid spent $2,700 in Salt Lake City, UT Created 1 year ago

I did PRK 3 months ago. Would I do it again? NO! I was promised crisp clear vision. I chose to have the far vision corrected and not do the mono thing. I was told that I would only lose the close up vision to where my glasses corrected. This has not been true. I now still do not have any... Read more
