Has anyone had lasik? I’m looking into having lasik eye surgery, does anyone have any clinics they can recommend? Have you had any side effects or bad experiences?
Mocosa replied:
I went to LasikPlus, and my total cost was $3500. Dr. January was awesome, and the whole experience was easy. I took a Xanax before because I'm a nervous person, and after they gave me Tylenol PM. I passed out in the car on the way home, then woke up about 4 hours later feeling like my eyes were on fire. As soon as I got some eye drops in I was fine, and went back to sleep. Next day I was seeing 20/15 with a slight haze. 5 months later my vision is awesome, but I have slight residual halos at night. It was honestly the best decision I've ever made. Every now and then I still go to reach for my glasses in the morning, then realize I can see.

Crap it's called "The Lasik Vision Institute ... Near North Star mall... Ph: 210-344-3200... Had it done in the afternoon the next morning I was driving!!!
YES. Dr. Kristen Held on Sonterra did mine -- she believes in "perfection." Also, Dr. Parkhurst is a new SACS dad and has done thousands of LASIK procedures. I think he's head of the opthalmology program at ICW, too.

Kevin Crawford had his done several years ago and was very pleased with his doc. Don't remember the name though
Kevin C. replied:
The best guy in town is Dr. Manrique. Does Z LASIK and trains people all over the country. If you want info, let me know and I'll give you a direct line to the guy you want to talk to instead of calling the office line. May get a better price.
Ashley B. replied:
Yes! My sister is Allison Young and she is actually the other doctor in practice with Dr. Held at Stone Oak Ophthalmology! She did my LASIK 1.5 years ago and did an outstanding job. She's an amazing doctor with a super sweet personality and she has top notch credentials - ivy league undergrad and Wills Eye Residency program in Philly, can't beat it! I'd highly recommend her (even is she wasn't my sister)!

Anybody know a good eye place that does lasik surgery thats close to staunton?
Wendy K. replied:
Charlottesville seems to be the closest. https://eserver.tlcvision.com/m/default.asp?i=1...
Lauren G. replied:
Katie, with EyeOne, you'd go to Dr. Patel in the fishersville office. She's the only Dr with the practice that does Lasik consults. smile emoticon good luck!
Has anyone or know someone who has had Lasik or any type or laser corrective vision work on the eyes? I am looking for accounts of experiences and reviews. Thanks.
