Question: Laser eye surgery vancouver - british columbia?

Hi, I've been interested in laser eye surgery for a pretty long time now. I went to my eye doctor he said my eyes haven't changed in more then 5 years and I could get laser eye surgery if I wanted to. He didn't recommend any places or give me any prices though. Has anybody in the Vancouver / Lower Mainlands area gotten laser eye surgery recently and can tell me the price and where they went / how good there service was. I don't wanna spend much more then $2, 000 if possible. I saw a flyer a year ago for one that was $500 each eye so $1000 in total but I don't know. I would be getting LASIK eye surgery. Thanks, for all the help > <

I'm not familiar with the places in your area, but, for this procedure, don't shop by price, you want to find someone who has a very good sucess rate. Be wary of people who try to hurry you into making a quick decission, like claiming there is a special discount if you sign up right now, or some nonsense like that. Its OK to hire "the cheap mechanic " to fix you car, if he messes up, the job can always be re-done, if you hire "the cheap LASIK guy " to fix your eyes, and he messes up, you will be living with the results for life. Keep in mind that, once you get about 40-ish, no matter how good a job they did with the LASIK, you will still need reading glasses.
