Lasik (sp?) eye surgery....?

How effective is lasik eye surgery? and about how much does it cost? are there any side effects??

Lasik is very effective. Results are always going to be effected byt he treatment you go with. Usually there is a traditional treatment or a custom treatment. Normally the Custom treatment includes an orb scan. What an orb scan is ..it a machine you look into like a regular auto refracting machine but it takes a picture of your eyes. After the picture is taken the scan of your eye is imputed on a computer screen like a topagraphical map. That map shows usually 100 -150 abberations that the traditional treatment can not pick up. By being able to correct those abberations your percentage of reaching 20/20 is aobut 98% where as with traditional is commonly 87%. Also custom treatment usually corrects a larger portion of your eye. With the traditional treatment a smaller portion is corrected so when your pupil dialates it goes out side of the corrected area causing a "halo " effect. Since the custom corrects a larger area the dialated pupil says in the corrected area negating the halo effect. Normally the cost is beginning 299 an eye for tradtional depending on your rx and the package you get. And up to 1799 an eyefor custom. Look into the packages you get. Ask.." doi get any post op visits at no cost or do i have to pay for them all.?" USually you need about 7 post op visits in the first year then only once a year after that. also check on enhancements .what would be covered if you need an enhancement. Good luck to you!!!
