Aluminum Record posted:Would also be interested to hear if people responding to this had astigmatism, and if they'd like to divulge what it cost them and any guarantees they got with it. While not LASIK, I did get PRK and use to have bad astigmatism. Both my eyes were corrected to 20/20 without complications. The surgery itself didn't hurt, though the eye speculum thing can get uncomfortable. I would say I didn't suffer too much pain either, after the surgery. Maybe I got lucky, since I always hear about people who say they had 2 awful weeks of pain after PRK.

scapulataf posted:My brother had it done probably 10-11 years ago now, it was way less than 5k. Even now I see ads for places that do it for like 6-700$ per eye, which is cheaper than when he had it done. Not true. As long as you're about 21, then your eyes stop changing as much. They'll do a few checkups, but nowhere near 10 years.

3rdEyeDeuteranopia posted:Yeah, I know. I had a follow up visit. It is just annoying since there hasn't really been improvement in the past 3 or 4 days. Don't worry about it, took me about 2 weeks before I was able to see 20/20. Make sure you're using your eye drops a lot, helps heal faster.

Had PRK. Recently got my one year checkup and have 20/15 vision, from 20/400. I have no issues besides the occasional dry eyes in the morning.
