drfunk · 2004-09-29, 03:38 PM

well im now sitting here typing with some stylish goggles on so i dont acedently hit my eyes, and everything went fine.the process was a little wierd and it was hard to concentrate on what they were asking me to do when i can smell my eye being burnd off, but its all over now.

MikeK · 2004-09-29, 03:43 PM

How did it turn out? Is your vision clear now? Did you notice any loss on your up close vision?

JC · 2004-09-29, 03:43 PM

mmmm, burning eyeball

drfunk · 2004-09-29, 04:01 PM

MattR · 2004-09-29, 04:07 PM

zpeed · 2004-09-29, 04:08 PM

too much money..plus ten more dollars. around $3900 for custom view, and $2900 for the regular lasik..most people who do custom view see around 20/10 though. the whole process took about 15-20 mins, but the actual laser cutting only took 30-40 seconds. most of the time was preperation.

MikeK · 2004-09-29, 09:52 PM

Is that per eye or for both eyes?

And what is the extra $10 for?

It's good to hear that everything went well. How does burning eye balls smell? I bet it's delicious...

I bet nKoan can halfway explain it to you...

drfunk · 2004-09-30, 09:20 AM

$3900 was for both eyes. the smell was not nearly as potent as burnt hair but it was still there. if only for a second.

MikeSTI · 2004-09-30, 10:01 AM

Glad to hear everything went well

I dont think I could do it, (has a hard time with visine)I would have to blink
