i desperately want to! once i'm done school.
how does that pricing work? how much? and does it go up depending on how bad your eyes or what?

Congrats Stevie!
I've had mixed reviews in my circle of family friends. I believe my bro's fiance went through a lot of trouble/pain/sight problems in one eye. My aunt had issues as well, and still doesn't see how she should 2-3 years after it's been done. Then again I hear people doing great, so I dunno... with my .25 vision correction, I don't care. I only need glasses in lecture halls or drive in movies.

I like wearing glasses... it can be a hassle sometimes, but I've been wearing glasses since I was 12 so you grow used to them!
Glad to hear it went smooth for you dude!

I paid $2400 for both eyes, and lifetime corrections.
I believe the pricing does depend on your vision/eye's health, but generally lasik is about $1000+ a eye.

Almost every Lasik clinic include corrective treatments if your first surgery doesn't get you to 20/20.
also, while very nervous before the surgery I did some searching online... I couldn't find any cases of people going blind from Lasik.
That fear of blindness is unwarranted the science behind this surgery is quite remarkable.

One of my friend's wife had it done and she developed chronic dry eyes to the point she has to wear motorcycle goggles so her eyes can retain moisture. There's nothing that can be done to solve her issue, and she went to a place that has over 20k procedures completed. Just know that nothing is guaranteed regardless of how they make it sound.
My dad also got it done and he was still forced to use glasses again within a year.

I had PRK done 3 years ago. Best thing I've ever done. I was around -3 in both eyes now my vision is perfect
like a boss! What is the determining factor if you are suppose to do PRK over lasik?
