One of my good friends had it done about 6 weeks ago.
He said it was the best thing he EVER spent his hard earned money on.

I had IntraLASIK done Nov 2002 for $3,000. Old vision was 20/400. New vision is 20/20 w/slight astigmatism.:sun:

Intralasik for $3,000? Is that per eye? If not, what state are you in. I priced it in Texas and Iowa and it was $2350-$2500/eye.
Did you have astigmatism before the procedure?

After getting lasik do you always have to have eye drops where ever you go or is it just for a little while while your eyes are healing?

There is a very good thread on FW about this.. do a search on FW.. apparently there is this new technology called Wavefront which seems to address most of the concerns of the conventional laser.

i did it and just love it. no complications and i had -6.5 diopters.
but i carefully researched the doctors, their records, number of patients, complication rate, post op infection rate, etc. and picked the best guy i could find in california. he's also a corneal transplant surgeon, etc.
most importand to me was that when i went in for a consultation, he was very knowlegable and could discuss the procedure, studies, statistics, etc. with complete fluency. gave the the trust i needed to let someone cut on my eyes.
it's worked out so well for me that i've had 3 friends go to him and they are all very happy. i've read some of the bad stories and nothing like that has happened to anyone i know but... ymmv.
i do a lot of mountain biking, running, scuba diving, etc. where having glasses and even contacts is just a pain.
do the research and get it done, it'll change your life.
