I had worn glasses since 4th grade. I slept with my phone under my pillow b/c I couldn't see the alarm clock when I woke up in the morning. I never thought I would be a normal seeing person in my life and when Lasik was created, it was such a blessing. Finding Dr. Ashraf was the icing on the cake. He made the procedure simple and convenient. I have been blessed to experience a life without glasses and contacts for 10 years now! I am incredibly thankful to Dr. Ashraf for giving me this gift!
I was having difficulty driving at night because of the glare from oncoming head lights. I met in consultation with Dr Ashraf and his staff and discussed the procedure and cost. After having gone through surgery for both eyes my vision is perfect. I can see clearly and no glare from oncoming head lights.
It has been just short of a year since i had it done and my vision is EXCELLENT!!! I never cease to be amazed at what i can see. It is a life changing experience. If you are active and truly feel like you are hindered by glasses or contacts do your research then get it done. If I recall my contact Prescript was around a 3.5. you may notice that I indicated that the pain is 'uncomfortable'. In my experience a doctor often says "you may experience some discomfort'... that is usually followed by pain. This is what I would truly call discomfort. a sensation you would rather not experience at any given moment but NOT painful. also it does not last long. Most of it is the day of the surgery but after the procedure, go to sleep and you will be fine. Good luck and make an informed decision.
