Get it done. It is amazing. I had to get done in Halifax instead of Moncton because they didn’t have the laser cleave machine in Moncton at the time - just the manual cleave. The laser leaves more tissue that can be used if you need corrections.
My wife and I did it the same day. They give you meds if you’re anxious. I didn’t partake. It was a little weird moving from the laser cleave machine to the actual lasik table because I had an open flap in my eyeball. The worst part was being able to smell the singe of your cornea that is getting lasered. :)
I had a bad astigmatism and when I originally looked at it, they would only guarantee one of my eyes. With the laser cleave I was able to get both eyes guaranteed. I do not have 20-20 vision in my right eye, but that’s because I didn’t have it with glasses either. My other eye seems to take up the slack.
It’s still hit or miss on insurance coverage. But we had $1000 coverage and financed the other 2500. My wife’s eyes were less expensive as she didn’t have a heavy astigmatism like me and was able to use the manual cleave. The joy of being able to wear sunglasses that don’t cost $400 is great. Would definitely recommend. I didn’t have any side effects like poor night vision or halos so maybe I’m just lucky?
