I did it 5 years ago with diamond vision in NJ. I paid $4000 for the Lasik. It was definitely worth it for me. My contact lenses got to be irritating. The surgery took 5 minutes top. Oh and make sure you take enough vicodin, I sure didn't. I had pain all night. It felt like a finger was pressing against my eyeballs. I couldn't go to sleep. The next day I woke up and saw clear in the center the sides was still blurry. However, the next two days it got clear all the way through. The halo around street night lights took only 1 week to clear. All in all it was definitely worth it. Everytime, I see someone who has contact I am glad I went through with the surgery.

LASIK eye surgery can perform miracles - it can give you relief from wearing corrective lenses. It can cure nearsightedness, astigmatism and farsightedness. The procedure is quick and painless, offering almost immediate results. And due to advances in technology and the wide demand for this type of service, LASIK is quite economical. LASIK eye surgery is a medical procedure that can correct your vision by altering the physical properties of your eye. Unlike traditional surgical procedures that depend upon the skills and steadiness of the surgeon's hand, advanced LASIK eye surgery is computer controlled. LASIK eye surgery is relatively safe and it can free you from glasses and contacts. Before you commit to LASIK surgery, make sure that you consider all the advantages and disadvantages of having the procedure. Ask the doctor lots of questions so that you can make an informed decision about whether LASIK eye surgery is the right choice for you. One of the most common complications of LASIK eye surgery is a slipped flap. Some patients experience infections, inflammation of the eye, redness, blurriness or eye irritation. In many cases, LASIK eye surgery can eliminate your need for corrective lenses, but that's not always the result. It's best to think of LASIK as reducing your dependency upon corrective lenses - not necessarily as eliminating your need for them. Even without LASIK eye surgery, it's expected that everyone's eyes will change slightly with the passage of time - it's just a natural part of life. After LASIK, your eyes will still follow their natural course of changing with time, so LASIK shouldn't necessarily be considered a permanent solution. For most people however, their vision will not change enough to require any additional treatments, especially when the original procedure was done to correct for poor distant vision. It's highly recommended that you talk with your doctor about LASIK and how any possible risks or side effects relate to your own personal circumstances.

Had it. No cons for me other than the couple weeks to completely recover. Red eyes, halos, dry eyes. All went away.Oh...one thing. I was nearsighted before the surgery and could see fine detail VERY well. I now have perfect vision but my once magnified nearsightedness is gone. And...everyone who has the surgery will still need reading glasses...around the age of 45 or so.
