I am 3 weeks out from my LASEK procedure. I can see 98% now, only small type is a little difficult to read, light bursts at night remain and I am still slightly sensitive to bright lights. I went in hoping for LASIK because of the near instant recovery time, but because of some scaring on my eye I had to have LASEK. If you get this done, be aware that recovery is slow. It took most of the last 3 weeks to get where I am, the first two weeks, my vision was greatly reduced, making work almost impossible, they do tell you that this is a possibility, but I don't think I quite understood the ramifications. Dr. Melki was professional, reassuring and the procedure went really well, I was not uncomfortable, and the staff is attentive and courteous. Te process works like a well oiled machine, there are several waiting rooms each one set up to Sheppard you to the next test or specialist. The reason for the 4 stars instead of five is minor, the post-operative instructions were printed on red paper with a tiny font. I am single, and had no one to read the instructions to me and, I was not able to do it because of the procedure. I do recommend them if you are thinking of having this done!
