Had it done 1 month ago. I'm 26 and have wore glasses since I was 3. Right eye was bad and left eye was decent. My experience is different from everyone else. At this time I am not pleased with it. I had mine done from one of the best dr in the world, dr Lehman and would never bad mouth him, but I just haven't yet had the results that I was hoping for. My right eye is still bad and doesn't look like anything has changed. Like I said has only been 1 month so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they improve. Good luck to you if you go through with it

Don't be discouraged yet! Dr. Booth did 1 of my eyes a year and a half ago, and it took nearly 3 months for it to stabilize. It is one of the better investments I've ever made. My contacts would dry out and then pop out of my eye ALL the time while riding in my boat. I decided I had to do something when BOTH of them came out at the same time a little after dark one night. Talk about a scary ride back to the ramp!

I had to have PRK done because my cornea was a little thin, and he warned me that the recovery would be a little harder than regular LASIK. I left the office seeing better than I had in 25 years, but it was rough. I was almost physically sick for 3 days afterwards, but now I can see 20/15 in that eye. Well worth the headache after not being able to see most of my life...

Had mine done mono-vision in 2003. Took my brain the full 8 weeks to start working right. I am pretty sure I fell more times in 8 weeks than my whole life. Long about week six I was ready to go back and see if they could undo it. Brain finally kicked in everything was great until about 2 years ago. I cant see very good anymore. May be time for a touch up.

Don't get discouraged. I said above I just had it done for the second time just 3 months ago. It hurt. I was very wind sensitive. My vision was worse AFTER the surgery than before. I regretted it 110%!! Fast forward about 60 days and my vision was considerably better. I could almost tell a difference daily. Here I am at 90 days and I just went back to see Dr Booth last week. I am 20/20. I'm still pretty light sensitive but it's getting better. Hopefully you're in the same boat with me and time will take care of it.

I had custom PRK, was like seeing the world for the first time afterwards. Went from 20/80 to 20/15, almost blind to hawk eyed! 10 years later still at 20/20.

Wow, the TFF crew comes thru again! I'm going to call my eye Paris Optical and ask my Dr. if he thinks I'm a candidate. He has a Dr. out of Sherman that comes to his office once a week and does the surgery.
I had great vision until I turned 40 and then it went down hill fast. I really still don't like wearing glasses and don't wear them at my desk.
Thanks again guys, I'm excited just thinking about the possibility.

3 years ago, I was legally blind and had been for 30 years. Now, I am still 20/20 after my third check up after the procedure. It's the best money I have ever spent aside from adopting my son.

moved from Odessa to Crockett in 2003...humidity kept my glasses wet from sweat dripping on them...went to Nacogdoches and had it done in 2004? i think...have NEVER regretted it...next best thing i've ever done for myself next to quitting smoking

Had my eyes done by Dr. Whitman (Key/Whitmen) about 10 years ago now. My vision 20/60 so it was not terrible but I hated wearing glasses to fish. I went to one of his free informational seminars and at the end they drew a name of participants for one free LASIK eye correction and I won so that convinced me to do it.

They warned me that I would lose my near vision unless I opted for their mono-vision where they correct one eye for distance and one eye for near vision. I was afraid it would effect my depth of field for casting so I did not opt for that.

Had it done and was very happy but I did and still need �readers� for close up work so to tie a knot I still need glasses. I was 20/15 for several years. In the last few years my distance has slipped and was considering going back in for a touchup which was included in my package as long as I have and annual eye exam by their office. I brought it up a few months ago when I had my annual exam. They did not jump all over it. Said I have the start of cataracts and should consider �Crystal Lens� replacements. That would be at my expense though.

I had mine done, and it's been the best money ever spent. I can see better than i could with contacts. I have 20/10 or 20/15 vision now. i can't remember which one.. you will love it if you get it man. It's annoying the first little bit because you can't rub yours eyes and they get dry until the nerve endings grow back together.

I had PRK 2.5 years ago and am 37 and have been in glasses and attempted contacts since 7th grade. Finally got sick of having to keep up with glasses and buying RX Oakley lenses twice a year after scratching them up. PRK is a little rough on the recovery side but golly it is amazing! I have 20/20 vision and it is like watching a tv from the 90's and then watching a movie in 1080P. All I can say is research your doctor extremely well. I live in Wichita Falls and we have the best doctor in the US here. Dr. Mark Suggs. He thoroughly tested me and said most of what he does is the prep work and making sure you are the perfect candidate for either PRK or LASIK. He prefers PRK now because you don't have the flap that has to heal and complications with it. PRK takes about 2 to 3 months to get your perfect vision. It was $3,500 and looking back I'd pay 10,000 for it now. Hunting and fishing and driving are so much more pleasant now. Especially finding fish on beds!! And I can now tell all types of ducks I'm shooting at before my lab brings them back! That's awesome too. All around greatest money ever spent hands down.

best money I have ever spent. hands down.

Why is this posted in the bass fishing section?

Because being able to see while on the water fishing is pretty dang important.
