Any post op meds I might need are covered by our National Health Service so I'm lucky in that regard. I was wondering about the procedure and recovery. Is it very painful? I know there is a local anaesthetic involved during the procedure but I'm told post op can be horrendous. Also, what was the recovery time for you? Thanks in advance for your help.

You will find that the cost of Lasik or PRK will vary from provider to provider. When comparing prices, there are several important factors to keep in mind. One is what technology you are getting for the price. Some surgeons offer all-laser Lasik, while others are still using a blade. Some surgeons offer custom wavefront treatments, others do not. You want to be sure you are getting the most up-to-date technology for the price you pay. A second consideration is whether the price includes coverage for enhancements, if an additional touch-up is needed in the future. Finally, in addition to price, you should consider the experience of the surgeon and the quality of the staff when deciding where to have the procedure done. The best way to investigate these issues and to find out if Lasik is right for you is to have a thorough exam and consultation with a doctor. At LasikPlus, we provide a free comprehensive Lasik exam and consultation using the latest technology. For additional information or to set up a free consultative exam with your local LasikPlus doctor, you may call 1-866-953-0282 or visit us on the web at http://tinyurl.com/Dr-Lustbader.

The op itself wasnt painful however I experienced severe pain in one eye two days after surgery and since then the sight has been very poor in that eye, to be honest it was more painful than anything iv been through before including various snapped bones but I think I was just unlucky. At the moment I can rarely see well without constant drops and would not recommend it, Most people I know who've had it done think its great though. Johnathan:
