Hi Guys,

With concern about my eyes getting worse after the first procedure, I would like to get a second opinion from a different doctor.

anyone?

got mine from Dr. Scott Hyver in San Jose. he did the Lasik for my aunt, uncle, and everybody in their office. absolutely top notch professional. I was totally calm going into the surgery because I watched them closely during the evaluations and such, and they are very thorough. I've had my LASIK for 1.5 yrs now, and I have 20/15 vision (which is better than 20/20). Considering I started with 20/200 + an astigmatism, I am thrilled with the results.

PM me if you decide to go with them.

I too had mine done with Scott Hyver about 4-5 years ago... started with -2 and ended up with 20/15 in both eyes... just did an eye exam and it's stable at 20/20.

He was with Aris Vision when I had it done, not sure if he's still with the same company. Good doctor, turned down patients when favorable results weren't achievable.

Does anyone know how much does it cost now? Have the prices gone down lately? I'd like to get it done too!

I'd do a little more research on Lasik or any other *surgical* procedure before having it done. Still no long term studies on Lasik. Most folks do quite well - but we're talking about your vision!!!

There are new contact lens technologies available - either super breathable lenses that are safe for most people to wear continuously or another non-surgical option commonly referred to as Corneal Reshaping Therapy.

Had mine done in 2001 at LASIK Plus in San Mateo/Concord. Vision stable at 20/15. Best money I've ever spent.
