Lasik Eye Surgery

[timmay]

I've just made an appointment at Eye Doctors of Washington (www.edow.com). I've heard all great reviews of them and haven't heard a bad one yet. I have high order aberrations with astigmatism. As such I'm getting the full Wavefront laser but with PRK procedure not Lasik. Do any pilots have experience with this doctor and/or PRK procedures? I understand it takes a longer time to recover; I'm stacking up sick time as we speak and hope to be out no more than 3 weeks when I get it in September.

Just make sure you do not have Kerataconus. I would get more than TWO opinions just to make sure. If you do happen to have that and they start cutting on your eye you could have huge problems.

a REAL airline pilot would get it done at the least expensive place.

I've been getting regular eye exams annually since I was about 6 and have never had anything diagnosed other than my astigmatism. Still no one has had PRK?
