I had my Lasik done at Wills Eye, but in the suburbs (Harboro). The experience was phenomenal and as of Dec. 15 th I've had 20/15 vision for a year! Which is a huge deal, I started with 20/1000. It cost around 4 k from what I remember, and they have financing options available.

I got mine at LasikPlus in KOP. I did it about 4 years ago and paid $3650 in all interest-free for 12 months. 10/10 would do again.

Dr. Blecher at Wills, who did it through Kremer Eye Center in Cherry Hill. He's done over 10 k procedures. Mine went swimmingly.

Two recommendations: 1) Get PRK over Lasik; its safer and more reliable than Lasik, at the cost of only a day longer recovery. 2) Conshohocken Eye and Laser. Dr Fracht is amazing.

I got mine done at Kremer in Cherry Hill. I couldn't be happier. The procedure was pain free. The staff were friendly. The facility was clean. It was about five years ago, and I still haver perfect vision. I recommend it to everyone I know.

I just had PRK (the older iteration of LASIK) done on 10/25 at Wills Eye Hospital. I went to Dr. Rapuano who was part of the LASIK FDA trials, so the man knows his way around a laser. He was very nice / friendly & thoroughly answered all my questions. I had to have PRK since I had some scaring on my corneas, which resulted in a longer recovery time. I now have 20/20 vision & my eyes feel perfectly normal. I wore glasses / contacts for about 15 years, and I can't believe how awesome it is to see without them! Feel free to ask or PM with any additional questions:)

I had LASIK done with LasikPlus vision center at King of Prussia. They were absolutely fantastic, very informative, professional, and expedient. My prescription was -2.25/-2.75 and after one week my vision was 20/15. I highly recommend them. In addition to being so professional, they offer a lifetime guarantee on the service. If your vision gets worse than +/-1 (statistically unlikely) they will correct it again for free. This applies at any LasikPlus center, so if you move you wont have to come back to KOP should your vision worsen. They use all laser technology (a laser to cut the corneal flap open not just to correct the cornea shape). Dr. Shah has done 30k of these surgeries. I am absolutely thrilled with my results. Wow, they should pay me.

Used James Lewis from Wills Eye. His website has an AWFUL scammy sounding name, (www.ihatemyglasses.com) but he is awesome and so is his staff. I had my eyes done about 4 years ago. My husband had his done about 3 years ago. The staff is excellent and very patient oriented. He does many surgeries, but you feel like you are the only patient. He does other types of eye surgeries as well.

my advice, dont get lasik. your eyes change as you age. at least read up on complications before you take the jump.

I has LASIK done by Dr. Michael Aronsky at Kremer in King of Prussia. It's been almost two years exactly and it's still one of the best decisions I ever made. I reviewed them on Yelp, [if you'd like to read the full account](http://www.yelp.com/biz/kremer-laser-eye-center-king-of-prussia-2#hrid:u1XaAw7 xRmwRkJ0 cOA0KQg). If you choose to opt for their lifetime follow ups and whatnot they've got partners throughout the country where you could go and have your checkups done or (if necessary) later corrections.
Can someone please recommend lasik surgery place from there own experience. Also how much you paid for it? Thank you in advance

https://www.eyeops.com/about/our-doctorsDr. Clark he is Wills eye doc. I had custom lasik cost me quite a bit more than a mcdonald's style shops were charging at the time, but I wanted the best doc I could find to operate on my eyeballs. And he was the best I could find:). Even with my eye dominance shifting which really screwed up my shooting for awhile I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I think I paid 4.5 but it was 12 years ago.
