However, I did the $3400 procedure - maybe I fell for their tactics. My thinking was the $1400 and additional yearly check up was worth the life time guarantee and less chance of having night time driving problems compared to the other one.

actually they didn't try to sell me on the wavefront procedure at all. they said i was low risk for nightvision/halo problems and mentioned that any corrective work happens in the first 2 years of receiving the surgery for 95% of patients (the standard procedure has a 5 year follow-up coverage). they said the procedure would be completely up to me and i could wait to choose right up until the day of surgery. i was going to check out Gimbel as well, but i left Lasik feeling very confident. my doctor has done over 6,000 procedures, and all the staff i encountered were very friendly and helpful
so basically it's coming down to i know i'm low risk for issues, but i'm torn debating the peace of mind with the more expensive procedure to wondering if it's mostly just a sales gimmick. what are your eyes now Orange, out of curiosity? did you have any side effects after the surgery?
