It took me a long time to consider LASIK for 2 reasons: 1. Laser beams and eyeballs, and I was pretty sure I wouldn't make it through that. 2. There are so many LASIK places, how do you find one where they actually know what they're doing and aren't just trying to make money off of you? So, I asked my eye doctor for a recommendation and learned about Dr. Keith Carlson (Claris). I was prepared to get a 2nd or 3rd opinion, but when I showed up at the office, the staff were so nice (all of them), and Dr. Carlson was so approachable, knowledgeable, realistic, and experienced - and the price was on-point compared to other places, that I decided to just go with Claris. And I was fully satisfied. Long story short, because of the strength of my distance vision prescription, my option was LASEK - the option with a little different approach and a little longer healing time. Dr. Carlson was VERY helpful in talking about options, because I also am starting to need bifocals (what?). He's a smart, straightforward guy, and I learned to just trust his recommendations. Here I am now, with 20/20 distance vision, and no need for cheaters to look at my phone. And working on my computer and reading my orchestra music with no problem. So, go do it! Absolutely life-changing. And the laser thing is absolutely not at all as bad as you think it will be. Dr. Carlson and all the Claris staff, thank you!!!!!

I was quickly assured they are not..of course I received a reply about how reliable the frames I'm using are.
