How soon after a Lasik consultation is the actual procedure?
I’ve decided I want to get Lasik to correct my vision, but I’m moving at the end of summer, and would like to get it done within the next 3-4 months. I already have the money I need to pay for it, so financing is not an issue. My insurance also gives me a nice discount. Once I choose a specialist and have a consultation, how long can I expect to wait before the actual procedure? Is there any hope of meeting my 3-4 month deadline, or is the waiting list for a good specialist going to be too long?
no problem. usually have to be out of contacts 6 weeks or so (varies by doc and type of lens) before the procedure
but no problem on 3 months.

Just until scheduled, mine was the next week. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. Being almost 20/400 in both eyes most of my life, went to 20/20 each eye, I expected to have reading glasses at least. Now almost five years later and still think of it as such a miracle of sorts. Best to you!

I had Lasik eye surgery done after wearing glasses for 16 years. It has been perfect for me. I have had no changes. Of course, as I age, I expect changes. I also co-manage refractive surgery and have seen hundreds of successful patients. It doesn’t hurt, generally. There is a bit of pressure, but no real pain if you have LASIK. The PRK version (where no flap is cut) is a little more uncomfortable for the first few days following the procedure. I’ve seen several people who said they were in some pain, but healed just fine. I used to wear both glasses and contact lenses. I had LASIK done and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. I can see clearly, no squinting, no driving with glasses anymore. I can read road signs, see the individual leaves in the trees (they’re not just a blurry mess anymore). It’s also nice to be able to see what time it is when I wake up. The procedure is painless (although a bit uncomfortable) but takes less than 15 minutes. Highly recommended.
