Welcome!


This is a blog about my research into LASIK for my wife. Before we make any decision as important as elective surgery, we must understand at least as much as we possibly can. Our priority is always the best possible doctor and the technology that they use first and foremost, the secondary priority is the cost. The most money isn't always the best, but the cheapest should be avoided unless all things are equal.

I am not a doctor nor am I an expert in refractive surgery. The information in here are all gathered from the Internet sources (websites and studies) and interpreted based on my limited understanding of it. You should make the decision based on the doctor you feel comfortable with and then the technology that fits you. It’s your eyes, and generally speaking, LASIK is a one time deal--that is to say that you cannot change your mind after it's been done. You cannot return your surgery like a regular purchase. Do not make a decision based on cost alone. Research, research, research! Before you make a decision that changes your life forever, you should absolutely make sure you know the differences between the competing technologies! Make the best decision for your particular eyes and refractive error(s).
