Been contemplating and reading a lot for the past month or so. My vision isn't that great 1st off. OD: -350 OS: -300 w/ a fair degree of astigmatism. Here in Toronto, Canada I went to a couple of places to have my eyes checked out including Lasik MD in downtown, my own optometrist and I'm undergoing a custom wavefront lasik procedure w/ Dr. Herzig from Herzig Eye Institute in 2 months. A very prestigious refractive surgeon and one of the best if not the best in the world. Price isn't cheap but this is one of those areas where cheaping out is the least thing you wanna do.
Anyone w/ complications after the surgery such as dry eyes, halos, starbursts, double vision, short/thin/free flap, ectasia, under/over-correction, regression, strabisumus, inflammation, etc? Chances of developing side-effects are minuscule but they do happen regardless. Post feedback if you or your family member(s) had laser vision correction before. One thing that worries me the most is the dry-eye syndrome and quite frankly from what I've read it's unpredictable despite its low probability. I may be able to live w/ halos and starbursts, but double vision and dry eyes, I'm not so sure.
