Lazik?
I am currently debating whether or not to have lazik eye surgery.  I've been thinking about it since I was in Colorado Springs and even went for a consultation.  The cost I was quoted was $900 per eye.  I got a bad eye infection from my contacts in the summer which has made me rethink this option. Also I can get a flex spending account at work which means I can pay in pre-tax dollars.  The deadline for signing up is Dec 17, so I have to decide soon.  I went for a consultation with one guy last week.  He said I would be a good candidate and the cost would be $5,000!  The reason it is way more expensive then my original quote in CS is that it is a more advanced, bladeless, surgery and much safer.  It seems all the eye surgeons around here use this method.  On the radio at the weekend I heard another surgeon offering a $2,000 discount for the first 500 callers.  So I called and I have a further consultation with them on Thursday.  I guess I'll have to decide what to do over the weekend.  I think I'll probably go for it.  I have only heard good experiences of lazik.  If anyone out there has heard of any bad experiences please let me know!!
