Amazing result coming from a -5.00 prescription (worse than 20/400 in each eye).
I considered PRK, but decided to go with the IntraLase LASIK (flap is cut with a femtosecond laser). Here in Socal, it was $4300 total at a well-established and highly reviewed practice.
That's the attractive part about LASIK - being able to see the next day. I would have been SOL if I had to drive the next day. I literally couldn't keep my eyes open because they were so light sensative the next morning. Even wearing sunglasses with my eyes closed was too bright (low morning sun on a bright day). I ended up wearing a sleep mask for part of the trip back to the clinic. But . . . 20/10 with zero night vision issues 2.5 months later. Well worth it.
