Laser Eye Surgery - Clinic Referrals?

[Sunraven]

Has anyone in the GTA had laser eye surgery done?

If yes, can you tell me which clinic you went to and whether you recommend it?

I'm scared poopless!

Looking for some feedback.

Mine don't get that bad (takes a few years before they change a prescription). I just hate both contacts and glasses!!!

There's a place in Ottawa i've scoped out, they've been in the business for 20ish years and don't do lasik (which I don't want)

I'm not from GTA but i can reccommend the treatment.

I got mine done 2 years ago coz i was short sighted and can say for certain that it was worth it. One of the many conveniences for me is being able to watch a movie without needing glasses.

I got mine done with Optimax. I got the original treatment, which required me to have a few days off work. This was better than the new treatment for me because the new one is supposedly not good if you partake in active sport. I'll suggesting taking an entire week off work if you're getting the original treatment.

The new treatment is a lot quicker though - you can go in during your lunch break for it.

I would suggest speaking with the consultant at the practice you have in mind and seeing which treatment is best for you.

I heard your eyes have to have stayed the same for a few years before you're able to get the surgery. I may have been misinformed though.

Hadn't heard that one, I could be wrong though. They said I will need reading glasses after age 50 but other than that no issues.
