My buddy his at one of those lasik places off Cobb pkwy/75/41/285 area. Seemed like a quality operation and that's all they did. Plus the operation area has large windows so you can see people getting lased
Lasic Plus for me as well. 285/75 just inside 285. I had mine done about 6 or 7 years ago? still no issues. I did near sight in one eye, far in the other. it's been great as I get older and don't have to hold things at arms length to read them. and yes folks get to watch you get lasered. Technically I had to have PRK because of my corneas so more pain and longer recovery but I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
If your Lasik in Atlanta falls through and you end up in the military stationed near Savannah... I had PRK back in 2012 and still 20/15. It was at FT Stewart. Good luck with the surgery! Crisp vision is a game changer!!
I've been hemming n hawing on pulling the trigger on this procedure. Back when I came close to doing it, I didn't realize getting it done screwed up your reading vision, I wasn't relying on reading glasses just yet. I wondered if they offered one eye for far and the other for reading....not sure how I feel about that..... no regrets huh gt#179??? Do they recommend doing the strong eye for the nearsighted eye correction? Also, any particular procedure recommended over the other? I seem to recall they used to do the flap whereas now they don't???
It did not screw up my reading vision. I had it done in 2001. I wear readers now because of eye aging not the Lasik procedure. I believe they still do the flap, but they no longer need to touch your eye to do it, they did when I had it done. It was the best money I have ever spent.
You can go cheap at $250 an eye on an old laser, or drop about $5000 for both eyes for the latest laser platform. There is a difference in price.
I'm going to give you a bit of a cautionary tale; I had very poor vision, like 20/480 roughly in both eyes. I had lasik done in 2001 and it was THE BEST money I had ever spent! I enjoyed 12-20/20 in both eyes with very few issues until December of 2018 when I woke up one morning with a torn retina. That torn retina was repaired, but more tears returned. Beyond the laser surgeries to repair, I've 3 full on under general anesthesia since then including a "buckle" which is a band around my eyeball. For the next surgery, I get to have the cataract removed that forms after so many surgeries (and age, but evidently surgeries accelerate it). Instead of being able to repair the cataract with a new lens and have 20/20 vision again, the complications for the original lasik will cause issues and complexities. At best case I'll have shitty vision in that eye. At worst, I'll lose all of my vision which quite frankly, might be better as all I see is a hazy white light out of it now. To make things even worse....my left eye is now showing symptoms of a torn retina...flashes of light. Shit. I had 18-19 years of perfect vision. No all people experience complications, but do yourself a favor AND GOOGLE THE ISSUES as they're more widespread than you might think...if I had to do it over and gamble...I'd do it again though...it's that good. Just making sure you've got all the info. Good luck in your decision!
As noted above, do all your research. Search for Jessica Starr Lasik (Detroit News reporter), real sad story
Why would it screw up your reading vision? It didn't hurt mine a bit, getting older and being on computers damn near 24/7 it seems as well as reading in bad light all my life did that to me. Not the lasik. There is no offer for reading. There is nothing that will currently correct getting presbyopia - old fart eyeballs. They correct near and far and I'd guess could balance your eyes if you're one in each eye but that isn't remotely the same thing. If you're nearsighted in both just do both and wish you'd done it decades ago...
Boss has had cataracts replaced in both eyes, torn retinas in both (one zapped and a bubble in it, one buckle), some yag laser stuff to clear up some things. Definitely sucks but even she would do all of that AND lasik if it'd help her vision
