I think it depends on the severity of it. My optometrist told me that they could only get me fixed to 80% and i would still need glasses. I wear contacts but they only get me up to 80% as well. |
Well yeah, severity can highly limit the amount of correction that can be done, but this has been improving more and more. |

| I had it done a few years back..Only downside is the cost ($1200 per eye) but it was worth every penny. |

Had it done about 2 years ago. I was a -6.75 nearsighted before (couldn't function without my glasses).
Went to one of the best guys down here (and in the country) with state of the art machines (it was a two step process).
Best decision I've ever made.
I was 20/15 initially but have since gone to 20/20.
It was pricey but life changing.
For anyone in the South Florida area considering it, this is where I had it done.

That really depends. My friend works for a LASIK place. Shes said that don't go to those mall places. They are usually pretty ty. Most people pay 1200-1800 per eye, depending on if they get lifetime or not.
