Worth. Every. Penny.
I now have 20/15 uncorrected vision. Greatest money I've ever spent. I had my procedure done at LASIK M.D. in Downtown Calgary. No haloing. Dry eyes are not nearly as bad as when they'd get dry with contact lenses. I use the tear drops maybe once a day.
If you have the means... do it.

It must cost more if your vision is really bad or you paid the "downtown premium" price, I thought the price had come down a lot. it cost me $2700.00 11 years ago at Mitchell Eye Center in Chinook and that was with the $300.00 "night vision" (or whatever it's called
) I've seen some prices at around $500.00 an eye the last few years.
And I have never had "dry eyes"..ever!.
