100% of San Jose reviewers said LASIK was worth it
“Worth Every Cent - Wish I Had It...”
My procedure was more expensive because of severe astigmatism. The tests before the procedure were simple, not much more invasive than a typical eye test. The procedure itself was totally painless and took less than 15 minutes total. I had my eye-flap incision done by laser as well, apparently you have a choice of having it done by laser or by hand. The laser costs more but is more exact... more
I was soooooo blind. The lasik completely changed my life! I have never been so happy. Whereas once i was blind, now i can see. Its the closest thing on this planet to a real-life miracle.

I agree with the friend who recommended it to me that it's one of the best things I've ever done for myself. I love the freedom of not being dependent on external objects for decent vision. I got perfect 20/20 vision (slightly better in one eye) in place of my old 20/300 vision. It's... more
