Best decision of my life. Went from around a -4 in both eyes, astigmatism in one eye, to even better vision than when I had glasses. Surgeon was absolutely calming and answered all my questions. Quick healing process, quick surgery (seriously felt like ten minutes), pretty painless. Would recommend! TO BE CONTINUED.

It is totally irresponsible for you to recommend this type of MAJOR surgury to anyone. I say MAJOR, because it is our most vital sense - our eyesight. What if the person that takes your silly advice has complications (which are COMMON). Complications are close to 20% - not 1%, as the industry wants you to believe. Just because you think it turned out good for you, does not mean that you won't develop early cataracts or post-LASIK ectasia (also COMMON outcomes). Think about it and try to be a little more socially responsible. It's not like getting a manicure. It is EYE surgury - and it is a terribly flawed procedure. Best wishes.

Well obviously anyone thinking about getting it done would have talked to a doctor before the process and see if it's the right surgery for them. This is a surgery website, people who are looking on this site are looking to get the procedure done. I did much research into it and as you can see on the site, 93% of people have said it is worth it. You cannot go blind and it has been practiced for many years.

Hi there! Do you mind sharing how your eyes are doing now?
I also had my surgery in July 2015 with a prescription almost identical to yours. For me though, my vision began to regress after just 4 weeks.
