    Ophthalmologist that don't do their own eye exams for glasses don't get my repeat business, it is as simple as that.

    I have eyemed. I had recently moved to Quincy and needed a local eye doctor for glasses and contacts. Their office is in Crown Colony, so quite convenient for me. Easy parking.<br><br>I came in and they fitted me for contacts and glasses. Very professional and friendly atmosphere. I could come in as often as I liked for contacts help. They were very sympathetic and patient with my contact woes. <br><br>I gave up on contacts. Turn the page 2 years later. I call them up to ask them about LASIK. I had to either do that or get new glasses (my lenses had seen too much wear and tear). They chatted away with me on the phone and suggested that I come in for a free seminar. <br><br>I came in, along with a few dozen others to watch a LASIK operation. The woman was in her late 50's, which surprised me. I thought most people at that age don't get it. We were able to ask her a number of questions and then we watched her get operated on. The Doctor was wired for sound and video and we watched it live on a Plasma tv. Afterwards, she came out and showed us how her vision had already improved! Again, we were able to ask her, the Dr. and the financial guru (sales guy) about the procedure. We also got to watch videos on it. They had drinks and light food available such as sandwiches.<br><br>Several times, the risks and common complications were discussed. <br><br>I felt quite confident after the seminar and working with the staff, that I should take the next step.<br><br>I scheduled a free consultation and met the Dr. and more staff. I was given a clean bill of health and told that I was an excellent candidate for LASIK. <br><br>I elected to go through with this. They gave me 0% financing plan for a year. It cost me about $5000 after the Eyemed discount. I suggest you use your medical pretax expense account if you can plan it. I just wanted the surgery now, as I am moving to Kansas City soon. I trusted the Dr. and the staff. Eye surgery is EYE Surgery right???<br><br>So, the day of the operation, they give me some valium, numbing drops, and roll up my eye lids into a clamp. That didn't feel so good. They gave me a football to hold (I was wearing my Brady jersey) and the machine connected to the clamps and they began the painless operation. Very quick!<br><br>Now, my vision was blurred some. I moved to the 2nd machine, and more laser. All done!<br><br>No pain or discomfort. <br><br>Went home. Several hours later, I was in a lot of discomfort. Lots of eye drops to take. I think I took 4 medicines at one time 4 times a day. I couldn't wipe my eye. Pretty nasty and crusty :( Couldn't shower for a bit either. I was sun sensitive, so wore shades. <br><br>I drove my self to the Dr. less than 24 hrs later. 20/15 vision!!!! <br><br>For the first month or 2 afterwards, I had to avoid drying experiences and use drops as I had dry eye. It has 95% gone away. So has 95% of my symptoms. I'm almost halo, dry eye, and sensitive to sun free. They say it can take up to 2 yrs to completely heal. <br><br>The Dr and his staff is amazing and I'd highly recommend them and the surgery to anyone that is a good candidate. <br><br>Of note, they give you gifts! They sent me flowers, balloons, and gave me glasses (to drink from). You know, it's "elective surgery," so it's a business for them.
