Updated with the information you all have been asking. - I just got back from the eye doctor, I am doing the Lasik surgery in August.

Everything is a blurry right now beause he did a whole bunch of tests. But I am a good candidate and I am going for it.

ETS: My sister had the surgery on Friday July 17 and she is seeing 20/15. She is so happy. If I didn't see her go through it, I wouldn't do it. But seeing how happy she is, I decided I am going for it.

She did alot of research before she decided who to go too. I was happy about that, she did all the grunt work.

She went to Dr. T.J. Hufangel (that who I am going to also) at the Stahl Eye Center. There are 3 locations:
1. Garden City 516.832-8000
2. Hauppauge 631.952-8000
3. Manhattan 212.684-8737

It is expensive, but after seeing my sister I think it is worth it. My surgery is costing me about $3900. I did get a 10% discount because I am a Davis Member. But it depends on your eyesight and what type of surgery you are a candidiate for. So the price may be lower or higher.

Good for you!!!! A patient of mine did it about 3 weeks ago. He looks so different so used to the glasses, he said its painless, took all of 10minutes. He has better than 20/20 vision( if thats possible lol I deal with teeth, lol) but he is soooooooo happy. He went to a Dr. Weinstein in Commack. If anyone needs info I can find out for you.
