I had it done over a year ago at the midwest eye center by the tri county mall off of 275. I love it, my vision is now 20/20. it takes awhile to get used to it. Your vision is great but not as good as with glasses. It is kind of hard to explain but with glasses your vision is the same under all light conditions. Without glasses your vision changes with the light, at least for me it does. I can still see good at night but not as good as I did with glasses. I wore glasses for 25 years. I would highly recommend Lasik, it was the best money I ever spent. I wish I would have done it sooner!

Had it done a few years ago by the military. Like it a lot better than wearing glasses, but I could see better when I wore glasses. When my eyes get dry, it sucks. I wouldn't change it though.

Its worth every penny. Yea couple day recovery time. But ur eyes will be red for a week or so. Its scary as hell getting it done. U can smell ur skin burning from the laser. Lol but well worth it.

I had it done at least 8 years ago and it WAS THE BEST MONEY I EVER SPENT

I was told the halos at night are due to your pupil size when dilated. If it is bigger than the lazered area you will have them. When i got mine done they had different sizes to choose from the bigger the area you want lazered the more expensive. I used Dr Marino in cincinatti he was a partner of Dr Stall but think he has moved north

My wife had it done 4 years ago by Dr. Marino. He has an office near dayton. She would recomend it to anyone. Really helped her vision at night.
