I had my LASIK yesterday and had such a great experience with LA Sight. My prescription was -7.00 (relatively high) so I did a lot of research and 5 consultations with various doctors around LA. The staff at LA Sight reassured me that I am a great candidate for regular LASIK (using the laser for the flap) and they were right – I am already seeing 20/20 on day one. Minor irritation but it’s all part of the healing process. I am so happy I didn’t listen to other doctors and opt for the more painful procedure of PRK, which is a more conservative recommendation for higher prescriptions. Yes, it is kind-of freaky to think that your eyes are going to be altered with a laser – this is what kept me from doing it the past couple of years – but the procedure really isn’t that bad when it comes down to it. I was in the surgery room for maybe 10 minutes. Plus, they walk you through every step (the countdowns really helped so you know when every step is ending) and make you as comfortable as possible. I have zero regrets and would recommend LA Sight to anyone who wants to improve their quality of life by leaving glasses/contacts/prescription sunglasses/rewetting drops/etc. in the past! Thank you SO much!!
