Laser Eye Surgery
Anyone had it done recently?
The glasses thread got me thinking about it. Saw an Auckland site that quotes 5k for it, does that seem normal?

As i said in glasses thread, my dad/nana have had it, and swear by it.
nana was legally blind less than 2 years ago, now has perfect vision. so yeah, i'd say its worth it. as for the quote, i know it cost my dad alot more than that.

I was looking into it at one point, till I saw that, yes, 5k does seem to be the going rate.

I want to know why Optometrists and Ophthalmologists wear glasses.

I think it is only possible with certain 'stable' types of eye conditions. Not sure which ones, my brother-in-law has had it and swears by it.
I guess it comes down to how much money you put on a good standard of living and your eyes... The Bangkok deal is cheap because they steal a kidney at the same time!

lol, it would be difficult for them to steal a kidney while you're awake like you are for this procedure
5k sounds right, and count me in for a group deal, this is something I told myself I would do when I was 25!

My wife had her eyes done by a specialist in Wellington. Don't forget the other incidentals they add in for keeping your eyeballs well lubricated and maintained. Cost us somewhere around 6-7k - preferred not to keep track of it in the end...
But, what kind of price can you place on sight? She had an astigmatism which made her see things as narrow and tall. You can imagine her surprise when she saw me for the first time with her 'new' eyes...
