That happens, then you take eye drops for like 10 days, and cant touch your eyes or they explode. Preeety awesome.

Jealous?

    I was going to get this back in January but my nefarious plans were stopped. I was then told not to pay $3000 for it and to have the military pay for it to have it done this November. The bastards!

    I want lasik so badly.

    I went to yet another eye doctor just today! Not a single fucking one will listen to my vision abberation mystery. They all shrug it off as no big deal because they don't know what's causing it.

    It is a big deal! You try looking at things in low-light conditions with huge beams of light blasting from every light source. Good luck driving, cause headlight are going to cause a goddamn laser light show. Fuckers.

    how much is lasik with insurance?

    I typed this and looked down and a color flier on my vision insurance plan is sitting right under my hands

    15% off -- and the procedure is usually around $3k right? ffff

    mine was 2700 for both eyes. Wouldve been 3400 but since im going into law enforcement they give me a discount.

    The place I went to has been doing it for like, since its been around. Its all they do. Lasik/PRK and cataracts

    So, yeah.

    years ago, I saw a girl get her contact lens stuck on the top of her eyeball and she couldn't get it out

    that pretty much put me off getting contacts until now

    I don't even know what kind I'm supposed to get or what the options are or if my eyes are too shitty to hold whatever giant lenses they'll need to cram in there

    Lasik is nice. My parents were kind enough to pay for it a few years back. One of my eyes isn't quite 20/20, but its pretty close.

    Depending on where you go and how good you are, you can negotiate a decent discount if you agree to pay in cash. Of course, this still requires you to have several thousands of dollars in liquid money lying around.

    I'll take my shitty eyes and be happy. I'm sure it's safe and blah blah blah, but I'd rather not having my eyes chopped open with lasers.

    Oh, if some of you do end up doing this, don't forget to bring the valium or whatever they give you before your operation. I did. It didn't hurt or anything, but it took a little bit of willpower to keep from panicking after the initial cutting and loss of vision.
