Custom Lasik Procedure Yesterday
All I can say is...WOW. Less than 18 hours ago I had 20/800+ vision and the PITA that contacts and glasses bring along with them. Today it is around 20/20 to 20/15. I still have some haziness and halos around bright light (like my monitor screen, for example), but, once again, WOW. If this pans out like I have been led to expect, it's probably going to be the best $4k (both eyes) I ever spent.
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!

My wife had it done a couple years ago, and has been thrilled with the results, too. Good decision!

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