I went to Dr Zwibel in Smithtown. He was awesome. I think it took about 3 min on each eye actually laser time. So quick and amazingly worth every penny.

I'd say to make sure you have it done at least 3 months before your wedding. Afterwards you're going to have blood spots in your eyes - it will look really really bloodshot. One of my students told me I looked evil. They clear up - mine are gone now, and its been 2 months since my surgery - but I wouldnt want to chance having red spots in my eyeballs on my wedding.

My FH just went 3 weeks ago to Stahl in Garden City and got his eyes done. He is very happy with their work. They have a great guarantee where if in 1 year your vision is not 20/20 they will either repeat the surgery or refund your money. The price they charge you includes all of your follow up appointments for 1 year after also. Definitely get it done. I know several people who have gotten it and I hear nothing but good things from all of them. And when you think about how much you spend on contacts and glasses, the price of the surgery ends up being well worth it.

I didn't know about the blood spots on your eyes so it's good to know that. How has i been for you driving at night? Someone told me you can't wear your contacts for 2 weeks before the surgery. Was this the same for you?
