    I had it done 19 years ago. My vision was so bad it was off the chart. Instead of 20/** mine was listed as fingers at 3 feet. Now I am at 20/20 in one eye and 20/30 in the other. Absolutely the best thing I ever did.

    Unless you have a major disease or malfunction in either of your two eyes, you may want to avoid eye surgery altogether. With eyeglasses, you do NOT have to worry about "human error" or surgical "slip-ups" that can cost you your eyesight.

    Many people, myself included, have worn eyeglasses for years without any problems whatsoever. Many years ago, I came very close to becoming blind due to "medical poisoning" that had to be corrected, due to an "error in judgement". By the GRACE OF GOD, my vision was saved. AVOID UNNECESSARY SURGERY!

    Whatever decision you choose to make, good luck to you!

    Yes, Dr. Wang is one of the best and has a few million bucks in the bank to back it up. He takes vacations to China and does free eye surgery for poor people.

    Be sure this gets listed on your dot med card. Had a driver get inspected. Put out of service cause his card said wears glasses not LASIK. He had LASIK and can see 20/20 but they still put him out of service.

    They claim to be the best? They are salesmen, what do you expect them to say? They do not have your best interest in mind. Their primary concern is selling you a service you may, or may not, need.

    My father had it done around 10 years ago. He was #### near legally blind without glases before it and came out afterwards with almost perfect vision.

    It's true. My daughter takes selfies wearing glasses and she doesn't need them.

    It would be cool if Dr. Wang partnered with somebody named Chung. They could form the Wang Chung institute where everybody have fun tonight!

    My sister had lasik and is happy with the results despite having slightly worse night vision. I prefer driving nights so I'll stick with glasses -- not worth the risk...
