It’s hard to believe that just 24 hours ago I was blind as a bat, and now here I am with perfect 20/20 vision!
Being in the medical/health field, I am extra cautious about taking on any medical procedure. I did extensive research on short-term and long-term side effects, as well as studies on different LASIK technologies. In short, I will say that I am a satisfied customer!
LA Sight provides blade and bladeless technology, both with great results. I opted for bladeless, all-laser with VisuMax. They also offer different pricing packages based on your needs and their prices are VERY reasonable. Don’t bother paying $6000-8000 just because the doc is located in Beverly Hills and needs to pay his overhead and also for that Maserati.
The office is nice and clean, staff is VERY friendly and welcoming. They discuss everything in detail with you and are happy to answer any questions. I came in for a consultation and scheduled my LASIK for one week later (yesterday).
The procedure: Painless. Fast. They gave me Valium 15 minutes before to calm my nerves. I walk into the operation room and lay on a bed where the first laser procedure is done (cutting the flap) then the bed rotates to the next laser (the actual reshaping). I sat in another room and kept my eyes closed for 20 minutes for the flap to seal. I believe I fell asleep and had a dream lol.
Healing process: My eyes would not stop burning and watering for hours and hours! I took Advil but the tears just kept flowing! I took a nap at home and after a few hours, felt much better. My eyes got less and less irritated as the night went on. I was able to watch tv with no glasses!
21 hours later, I came in for my post-op appointment and I have 20/20 vision. I even drove myself there! Now, I’m headed to the gym lol!
I have some hemorrhaging on my right eye but that will go away in 4-6 weeks. The procedure is worth every freaking penny, I tell ya. I highly recommend this place. The best customer service I have ever experienced in the medical field.
