Starting to really get tired of wearing glasses and switching between normal ones and prescription sunglasses. Has anyone had it done? What was your experience? I'm guessing it will be around $3k or so?

I did it I went from -8.75 to better than 20/20; however, since I sit in front of the computer everyday my eyes are now -0.75. I only wear glasses if I want to see super clear or if I'm driving at night.
I don't regret doing it at all totally worth the money. $3000 seems cheap though, is that just for basic lasik? If I could do it again I would've paid the extra $2k and done the wave something or other procedure.
When the surgery was done (10 min), and I opened my eyes, I could immediately see clearer. I went in Sat morning went back to work Monday.

I had wavefront done in April of this year. No problems at all. A little stinging for a couple of hours after it was over, but I could see better than 20/20 immediately. By far the best money I've ever spent. I still can't believe it sometimes.

in HK it is a trend to wear glasses.
even many ppl who don't need to wears them still has them to look cool.
many of my friends have done it 3 years ago and it is very stable.
1 thing if your eye are very bad then over time after the lasik it may come back a bit but not much.
other thing you can do is get the changing colour lens, that is what I have for all my glasses so I dont have to change them each time I drive my car or play tennis when the sun is hitting me hard.

Sweet I'll have to go for a exam. The 3k I was just guessing, I don't know how much it will be I'm guessing between 3-5k. I dont want to go the cheap route at all I wanna get the best one.

what is exactly wavefront? i googled it and from the wiki i've seen it's aobut Higher-order aberrations or i'm getting things mixed? Is it a new technology like femto lasik or it's a special procedure for specific individuals (eg with specific disorders)
