I had custom Intralase done 8/13 and could see 20/20 by 7am the next morning. Very happy.

The night between the surgery and the follow-up check up was miserable, but the drugs they provided made life tolerable. In the almost two weeks since I put the eye drops in as scheduled and everything has been great.

A couple people mentioned that having the corrective surgery affected their up-close vision, is that common?

I work at a computer all day and I don't wear contacts because my close vision is not as good as with glasses and it was hard to focus on the screen. Am a little concerned that this would be the case after lasik.

That said, any suggestions for clinics/doctors in Chicago?

Kraff Eye Institute. Ran about $5k, worth every penny. Had it done nearly 2 years ago and went from -3.75 in each eye to 20/15 (still). Had custom intralase (Wavefront I think?) done at 3pm on a Friday and was out at the beach by noon the next day.
