I had myopia, astigmatism, and even intermittent strabismus, so I thought the surgery would be really difficult, which is why I had it done by the head doctor. There are quite a few doctors at Eye Smile Ophthalmology, but the price differed depending on the number of surgeries. The head doctor definitely had the most cases, so I went with the head doctor, but it was much more expensive. Since it was SMILE LASIK, it finished pretty quickly, but the disappointing part is that my dry eye syndrome is so severe... it is honestly hard to live with. There is also a pre-op exam, and the exam time is quite long and thorough. I said during the pre-op exam that I had dry eye, but they said surgery would still be sufficiently possible, right?.. But honestly, my dry eye got much worse, so I regret having the surgery because of that.

I had my first LASEK surgery 6 years ago. It was a factory-style place, with all the patients lining up and going in one after another. We went in in order, got zapped with the laser, and came out, and it felt like I had become a factory…
