Had Lasik done with Gimbel about 7 years ago. Went very well. Due to my age (50+), I now need reading glasses as the eye muscles are weakening (not related to the surgery). Before the surgery, I could read up close, but couldn't see distances.
I would strongly recommend a consult with Dr. Anderson Penno http://www.westernlasereye.com/
3 of us from my workplace went to her (we're healthcare professionals who did a ton of research).
- She used to work for Gimbel
- She's published books
- Very thorough
- Not pushy
- Money well spent
I just had Lasik done in August and it has been good so far. It's more expensive than the adds try to lead you on about but I am going through my normal day now without glasses for the first time in 10 years and that freedom is pretty great so far.
I'm getting this done in 2015! 31 years old and have been wearing contacts since I needed them (17 years old) my prescription has been -2.50 for the last 5-6 years. Time to just narrow down the place now
