To get laser eye surgery or not?
Just lately I have been having some problems with my contact lenses. I use the all day & night kind which means I can sleep in them and so can see 24/7 which is great. However I have been using them pretty much constantly for about 15 years which cannot be good for your eyes. So I decided to get some glasses to use in conjunction with my contacts but after trying fifty pairs on in the shop just couldn’t find a pair I liked. Also it was apparent I would have to pay around $500-700 for a good pair, if not more.
I then got to thinking about surgery. Well a LasikMD advert came on the TV and put it in my head. They say you can get each eye done from $490 each. So I started researching. This led me to believe that this price is very unrealistic and will probably be twice that if not more. However not to be put off completely I decided to ask others what they thought. I asked Facebook friends and Twitter friends and everyone that replied had either had the procedure themselves or knew someone who had. All were more than pleased with the results.
Now I have downloaded info packs and looked into it a bit more and it all sounds very good, if not a little scary, so I think I might book myself in for a free consultation. At least that way I am not committing to anything but will know what the treatment involves and more importantly the costs. Then I can make my decision.
