G asked:


I have just began thinking about the possibility of LASIK. I’ve been told I need “moderate” vision correction. My eyes are identical with spheres of 3.50 and cylinders of -1.00. How does LASIK compare to glasses/contact for getting the best eyesight? Is it a lot more precise? A lot less? About the same? I’m interested in any info at all. Thank you!

AG asked:


My 8 year old tabby cat has sadly been diagnosed with eye cancer and will have to lose his eye. The veterinarian told my sister the surgery would range from 700 to 1000 dollars! Is this typical? Living in the bay area is pricey but that seems like a lot to remove an eye.

Yesterday morning I had Lasik in my right eye and PKR in my left eye. A day and a half later I my Lasik eye is still blurry. The doctor said it’s somewhat normal because I had a strong astimatism and very poor sight to begin with. Should I be worried? How much time should I give it before I worry?
