Hey all,
Looking to get my eyes zapped in the New Year.

Everyone I talk to who has gotten it has very good things to say about it. Guess they must do a pretty good job pre-screening you to ensure you're a good candidate and to ensure a high success percentage. With that being said, Im sure there are folks out there who know someone who got it with mixed results...

My doctor is at that eyewear chain, Iris. They are partnered with their own clinic, with their own doctors. They say their machines are state of the art and "way better" than Gimble. Only kicker is that their clinic is in Vancouver so there would be travel involved. Around $4000 to get it done, which is more that Gimble, I think.

Has anyone on here gotten the procedure recently, either through Iris in Vancouver or Gimbel here in Calgary?
Care to share some feedback and costs?

Thanks!
