I had scheduled a free consultation that involved a comprehensive eye exam and then the doctor went over all of my options. I was able to schedule the procedure a month out so that I could give work enough notice. The staff was helpful in answering my questions and helping me with paperwork. On the day of the procedure, they did the eye exam again and switched from PRK to LASIK now that I had not been wearing my contacts for several days, my cornea scans/topography were eligible for LASIK. At least I was nervous because I had been preparing for PRK for a month. The surgeon reassured me that he was confident with going the LASIK route. The procedure was painless, there were moments of discomfort and I could definitely feel the pressure with the suction and eyelid speculum, but it was over in minutes. I came off the table with clearer vision already. I followed all the post-op care and in a week, I went from about 20/400 to just about 20/20. At this point, dryness is still an issue with the tear film stabilizing so I am still using preservation-free eye drops every day. Night vision is improving and I am able to drive home from a late shift safely. I had been wearing glasses and contacts for 22 years so it is unbelievable that this was all corrected in about 15 minutes total.
Well organized, very thorough testing with full explanation at every step . Dr Arrigg is truly outstanding !
