There always seems to be people on this site will to share their experience and knowledge on non-ST topics, so I thought this would be a good place to ask. I am considering having laser vision correction performed and am looking for opinions and experiences from people.
I am fairly severely near-sighted (my contact lens prescription is -7.00, if that means anything to anyone. Has been steady for years), to the point that if I am not wearing glasses or contacts, I would have to hold a newspaper a couple of inches from my face in order to read it. My last eye exam, after I took my contacts out, the doctor asked if I could read anything on the chart projected on the wall, I told him I knew there was a light there. You get the point.
Things I am trying to figure out -- How much should a GOOD doctor cost (I'm a little freaked out by the $150 per eye ads)? Recovery time (a day?), how happy you have been with it, have you had to go back for "touch ups", anyone experiencing poor vision returning over time? And, if anyone has doctor recommendations in the metro Detroit area I would be interested (I live in Dearborn, work in Farmington Hills).
Thanks,
Rocks
