Some people at work were talking about it today. I'm sketchy on details, but there's a newer procedure that works better... not all clinics have it yet. It might be the method that late was talking about. Prices for both eyes were something like $3600 for the old technique, ~$5000 for the new one.

The upshot was that it's not unusual for people that had it done to have to go back. One person went back once because of halos around lights after dark, another required 3 treatments to get things right. Ultimately I think they were both happy.

My eyes are super-nearsighted. I finally broke down and tried contacts 2 weeks ago. Now I wonder why I waited so long. But there are still times when I prefer my glasses. At the rate I'm going, maybe if I live to be 100, I'll break down and get the surgery.

Good luck with it!!
