Forgot to mention, brother had PRK, gf had Lasik. gf sees minimal starbursts, brother has zero night vision issues. Both are now 20/15 vision as well.
Yay for natural 20/10 vision.

I had Lasik done quite a few years back. I didn't have the option of wearing contacts due to my astigmatism being quite high. Long story short, I did my research and Dr. Lin (Pacific Eye Center I think its called) came up as the best from various sources. Yeah there are cheaper places but its my eyes, I'm not gonna cheap out. Its not like something you can replace. Anyways, I love it! Changed the way I live my life, play sports, etc. Highly recommend it.

London eye care only does PRK. Coal Harbour is mainly Lasik. I can't remember if they do PRK as well. Quote:

Really on the fence between the two and i think i will pay both a visit. | i had mine done at LEC(not touch) same week as my gf's manager who had hers done at coal harbor. I was good after 3 days, she was still blind after a week and could barely see after 2 weeks. it could be her and not coal harbor, but i've never heard of any complaints from LEC since all my friends went there too.
