I had LASIK nearly 2 years ago and have been very pleased indeed by the results. As a person who has worn glasses and contacts since 3rd grade, I love waking up in the morning and not having to reach for glasses (although out of habit I still sometimes do, even after 2 years!).

I opted not to have the "monocular" correction, so that my eyes would have maximally sharp depth perception. I felt that stereoscopic vision would be important for me in order to, for example, pick up a baseball in flight with sharp depth perception. Other factors in that decision is that I am somewhat younger than Tee, and that I won't mind wearing reading glasses when that time comes.

I seem to recall paying about $3.2K, with the "lifetime guarantee" (which means that the clinic will redo the procedure if needed in the future, for no extra charge, provided I keep up with my annual checkups).

I would do it again in a heartbeat: the few hours of mild discomfort and the money were worth it. I did not know about the Canadian option, which obviously sounds cost effective from anywhere in the US (and, unlike importing prescription drugs, is probably legal).
