The Best Call I Ever Made

[Tim C]

I choose to do monocular. My left eye (dominate) was corrected to perfect long vision and my right eye was corrected for short range vision.

It takes the brain about a month to adjust and 99% of the time this type correction falls into place. The brain does not realize what has happened and you have perfect vision at all distances. I will not need cheaters to read.

As for price I did not consider shopping for a lower price. My doctor has performed more than 114,250 of these procedures and has never had a complaint filed.

Regards,

What's the long term prognosis? Will your sight remain constant as opposed to usually getting a little worse every year as we get older?

He must be fast.

I think it's a typo. LASKIK first went commercial in 1987. If Tim's doctor began performing the surgery that year, he would have had to perform over 5190 a year, or 20 per work day (with no vacation time) to total 114,250.

Perhaps that was the number of operations done in Tim's doctor's office, rather than by just his doctor.

I went to a Doc for Lasik eval about 5 years ago. I fail every time I get my driver's license with my right eye and I mention to the examiners that I have "lazy eye" and they give me my license.

My main problem, I thought, was my right eye, which does not see as well as the left at distances. After examination the doctor told me I had what a lot of people pay for (ie lasik in one eye only), one eye sees very well closeup (right eye) the other sees well far away (left eye) and the brain just adjusts. He suggested we do nothing.

I have begun using 2x readers for very small print, but have never worn glasses. I actually had one doctor tell me long ago that glasses would confuse my brain and it has already adjusted to my condition.
