Lasik surgury - Standard vs. Wavefront
so i just had my evaluation at Lasik MD downtown, and i'm good to go for surgery on Aug. 3. the only question i have now is whether to stick with the regular procedure ($2000 for both eyes) or do the new wavefront technology procedure ($3400 for both eyes). does anyone here have experience with the new procedure and can offer some advice? i can afford either procedure, but obviously saving $1400 would be a huge benefit if wavefront doesn't make that big of a difference (my prescription is quite weak, eyes are healthy with plenty of corneal tissue, standard size pupils). the main advantage that the consultant told me would be better night vision and less risk of halos, which is what's making me consider it since my sister-in-law got the standard procedure and does have slightly worse night vision
anyone here have a little more insight? i've read the pamphlets and have seen the selling points, but i'd like to hear from someone with firsthand experience
