Don't. Just don't.
Although the surgeons are competent, you will only meet your surgeon 5 minutes before surgery and for 5 minutes after. The rest of your "care" is handled by technicians, and you will never see the same person twice. This means no continuity of care.
LASIK MD advertises that you are at 75% of your new vision the next day and continue to improve for the next week. They do mention that not everyone heals at the same rate, but they never explained to me what that meant. Most patients go for follow up visits at a day, a week, and a month after surgery. I'm at almost a month since surgery, and soon I'll be going for appointment # 7. I still can't see well enough to drive, and I have had to close my business due to poor vision. The loss of my income means the surgery cost me MUCH more than I planned. The staff at the clinic are not much help, and even after all these appointments, they ask who I am and why I'm there. Even when I've booked an appointment, I have been told on two occasions that no appointment was actually booked. After being driven two hours to get there, I insisted I needed to be seen, and was able to get in, but it was obvious they were doing me a BIG favor.
During moments when my vision is clear, I can tell that my distance vision is very good. But because of post-operative swelling and extreme dryness, my vision is blurry most of the time. It has been quite frightening, not knowing if or when I will ever see well again, work again, drive again. The clinic's solution seems to be to "wait and see", for me and a family member to make another 4-hour round trip to be whisked in and out of the clinic, and not get any real help for the irritation, itching and light sensitivity. And the surgeon doesn't seem to ever get involved again. Had I been better prepared for what could happen to me (these are considered normal complications), and how long healing could take, I could have made an informed decision about surgery. But all the advertising for LASIK MD shows the "beautiful people" who leap up off the operating table and go back to work the next day. That may be the outcome for a lot of patients, but it certainly wasn't my experience.
Again, I don't think my surgeon made any mistakes, and I think I will eventually have a good outcome. My beef is with the LASIK MD business model. Get lots of patients in and out quickly, like a bunch of cattle. If all goes well, the patients are happy. If you have a complication, there is no one to take the time to explain what's happening, and, in fact, the technicians seem to have no idea what to do with you. You're pretty much on your own.
If you're considering laser vision correction, DON'T choose. LASIK MD This has been a horrific experience and it's not over for me yet. read more
