Custom Lasik Procedure Yesterday
I went with the Custom over the Standard Lasik because of my age, my fairly aggressive astigmatism and the better mapping characteristics. I also chose to stay within my optometric group because, well, I think the world of them, my doctor in particular (and he drives a 550i, so he can't be bad, right?). The Custom Lasik was an additional $800, but priceless, IMO (Standard Lasik was $3,200). My doctor has been labelled a "perfectionist" by those I spoke to about him. When he did his post-op review, first eye..."perfect," he said. Second eye..."perfect!" So it's safe to say I'm a little optimistic. I woke up this morning and reached over for my glasses out of habit, and then realized after being able to read the clock, that I didn't need them. That was a real, ummmmm, eye-opener  I will post updates as the healing continues. If you're on the fence, based on my experience thus far, I highly recommend checking into it. Mike

That's great. Contacts and glasses are a pain. I've been thinking about doing it. My doc says I'm a perfect candidate. I'm just not too keen on someone screwing around with my eyes. Keep us posted Mike!

Congrats Mike! My dad did this at 80 and he doesn't wear glasses anymore - looks like a totally different guy!

Congrats, Mike! I had mine done in October 2005 and have loved every second ever since! The hardest part was not being able to wear eye make-up 3 days prior to and 7 days after surgery!
 BTW...Aren't you supposed to stay away from the computer screen for at least 24 hours?

I had it done when it first came out, in 2001-2002 I guess. Bad decesion. They screwed up. Before, I had no trouble reading. Well, they fixed my vision problem, but created reading problems. So now I have reading glasses, but no normal glasses.

have had to go to reading glasses after the healing finally settled. These were all older guys like me that could still read fine print w/out glasses but can't see much past arm's length. I think I would trade my crummy distance vision and toss the specs in exchange for some reading glasses...I just get nervous and figure I'll be one of those 2% ers that it does not work or, screws up on.

what is the healing time for this I really want to get it done but I do a lot of sports in the summer so I dont want to risk losing that ability for all or a large part of my summer and I also don't want to injure my eyes because of wakeboarding or something
