so i ended up getting the standard procedure, final cost $1880 for both eyes. i asked the optometrist who did my pre-surgery checkup straight up what he would recommend for me, and he said the standard procedure would be fine. the wavefront procedure is best for those with thin corneal tissue, larger than average pupils, or heavy prescriptions, none of which i had. it also felt good that he recommended the best procedure for my needs, instead of what would make them the most money.
the surgery was a snap, Dr. Dorey explained everything perfectly and the whole thing took 6 minutes. i went under the laser at 5:30pm Thursday and by 9am Friday when i went in for the checkup my vision was 20/20, and it's been steadily improving since then. nothing negative at all to say about the whole process, and i walked away very impressed by all of the staff i encountered at LASIK MD. seeing the world even more clearly than through glasses is awesome. i highly recommend anyone even thinking about it to go in for the consultation, especially since it's free
