1250 per eye at the end of 2002 (canadian dollars)

Best thing I ever did. I was -4.75 in my right eye and -5.0 in my left.

When I was finished with it, I was about 20/30 for vision. I was disappointed, because with my glasses I was corrected to 20/20; I was thinking "Aw, shit. This is better, but I'll still need glasses."

I went for checkups:
1 day after
1 week after
2 weeks after
1 month
6 months
1 year.

The checkup a week after I told my eye doctor I was expecting better results. He said "just wait, your eyes are still healing". Then at 2 weeks I would wake up and see PERFECTLY out of one eye. Cool! Then the next day I would see perfectly out of the OTHER EYE, and it switched back and forth like that for about 6 days. I thought, What is going on here? And then it finally happened. Both eyes, perfect sight. And it stayed like that.

I would gladly pay 5 times what I did to get away from glasses. Only those who have worn them all our lives can understand what a pain it is sometimes.

The place I went had a policy of only taking referals from Optometrists. You couldn't just walk in and say "Zap me please." The referal appointment cost 100$. I got every test done on me, and then my Optometrist sent them my file. I was in in less than a week.

The place I went was owned by a group of Opthamologists (eye surgeons) that took turns using the laser machine. My laser doctor did it on his lunch break between cases of Cataract removals. You can't get more qualified that these guys.
