I woke up about noon yesterday. Checked my email. Noticed another add for lasik. I decided to call and inquire about it. next thing I know, I'm scheduled for an exam, same day at 4 pm.
I also decided to bring two g's so hopefully I could negotiate a cash deal.
To keep it short, I paid 1865 to get lasik, and to get my eyes cleaned. Scheduled for tomorrow at noon!

Thank you very much! I'm extremely excited!
A group rate sure would be nice.. what ultimately got me in there was a deal on Groupon, 899 per eye.

How long did you ware glasses/contacts?
I've worn glasses for 45yrs. only considered lasik for few min.

I'm scared if I had lasik I would not recognize myself in the mirror.
^That and I'm too cheap to pay for the procedure.

When you get cataract surgery, upgrade to accommodating IOLs and have them do limbic relaxing incisions if you have an astigmatism. Do not pay less than 3 grand per eye, LOL.

My right eye suffers the usual complications of treatment for detached retina- in my case multiple interventions- to save my sight. Thus I'm looking at corneal transplant surgery. Does this advice apply to me? Can you explain 'accommodating IOLs'?

Actually it does tty more or less depending on what they did for your detachment. PM me and let me know what procedures they did (cryopneumoretinopexy, posterior vitrectomy, scleral buckle), and your age. I can give you more specific info.
