Do it yourself..

Aim a spyder 2 gx laser into your eye for a few seconds.. no need to use your eyes again after that as they won't work

My sister n her boy friend have both had it done they reckon its 1 of the best things they have ever done. I took my sisters boy friend 2 get it done n i can remember when he came out of the laser room his eyes were wife open n he was saying "wow i can see clear" then he got in my car n he said is eyes were starting 2 hurt,he spent the next 2 to 3 days wearing sun glasses n Walkin round the house with the curtains closed. But my sister didnt have any pain what so ever when she had hers done.

me and a friend had it done a few years ago, hurt like fcuk after the painkillers wore off

my m8 had complications for the next year which involved having surgery again in 1 eye and an implantable contact lense in the other.

Overall i'm happy i had it done

p.s. they wore out the poor patients flaps he/she wont be too happy when they get home to find their flaps have been fiddled with couldnt even close them back up!!! and they left all the hairy bits inside

safer this way, if the operation goes wrong, at least you'll still have one good eye

i think your being very very picky, i think i hinted enough in my first post that it wasnt going to be very pleasant, as i also wrote it might put you off having it done.

Ive had it process doesnt hurt and last about 4.5 mins an eye for a few hours the water really badly apart from that its not to bad

I had mine done by ultralase the ULTRALASIKplus™/ULTRALASEKplus™ with intralase the laser cuts the cornea and it cost 1850 an eye not cheap but the best technology there is dont skimp on yours eye

pay the extra for a more tailored result less probability of over or under correction

results are amazing
