It was great. Only took about 5-10 min! I now see better than perfect! You have to be over 18 with a stable rx to get it done. If you have health insurance you may be able to get a discount. Quality surgery is 4,000 to 6,000 dollars. Dont go for "deals" because the surgeon is not highly qualified then. Dont play around with your eyes. You want the best so you dont end up with major problems, like going blind. After surgery my eyes were irritated for 1 day and my vision was perfect immediately, but everything looked grayish and cloudy. (they told me that would happen.) I had to use RX drops for several weeks and there is no pain, ever with the surgery. Best thing I ever did. It is best to get it done under age 40 but over 18. The older you are the more risky the surgery.<br><b>References : </b><br> I am 27 I had it done last year at age 26. It was great. Only took about 5-10 min!

The cost average is 1200-2100 per eye. It was possible to finance using Care Credit...but I have a better interest rate on my credit card, so I didn't go that route. I had to have custom wavefront due to thinner corneas, so my cost after my vision insurance discount was 1700/eye. The prices have really not changed at all since laser correction surgery came out...the technology advancements have kept them about the same. Right now, we are in generation #3 of lasers. Be very aware of the 'cheap' places...do research on the surgeon...these are the only eyes you will have...and I wasn't gonna put mine in the hands of the lowest bidder. I'm 30-something and very glad that I had my PRK surgery. I'm 4 weeks postop today and other than some dry eyes and irritation (ocular allergies), I'm doing great! Seeing as near to 20/20 as I can figure. A little vision fluctuations as my eyes get drier, but some artificial tears clears that up. Just research your surgeon. I strongly believe I had such a good outcome because of the surgeon, his education, and experience. I checked out 3 in my area...and this one just blew me away with his credentials (corneal specialist...also teaches corneal pathology at a medical school in my region). Check out the link below for more detailed information about the risks, benefits, outcome ratios, complications, and who should not be a candidate for LASIK or PRK. This is the article that actually made me really think about going for the consult.<br><b>References : </b><br>http://www.emedicine.com/oph/topic666.htm PRK 4 weeks ago, so far, wonderful outcome.
