20/20 here I come

I made appointments to have Lasik consultations at a couple of different places. I'm going next Wednesday to TLC, where Tiger Woods had his eyes done way back in 1999 (not that having famous people as your clients should be a dealmaker). I'm not 100% sure if they do the Intralase, but they do custom eye mapping, which is interesting. Vision Quest is right up the street from us, and a couple of co-workers had their surgery done their a couple of years ago. Again, not sure that they do the all-laser version, but I'll give them a shot too. I'm going to see them next Friday. I'm waiting for The Eye Center (around here, their Dr. Boutros is famous and always on the radio) to get back to me. I know they do the full-laser option, since Dr. Boutros said so in the ads. Update: The Eye Center had some cancellations for this Friday, so I'm going there first. Exciting!
After checking with some of the people at work, I found out that one of the guys is going in for Lasik next week at the Millenium Laser Eye Center. He's getting the full treatment done, with "CustomVue" and the "Intralase" which cuts the flap with a laser. Total cost? $5000! Youch. At that rate, I may wait until next year to get this done and hope for the prices to come down a bit. Either that, or I hear that Lasik is really cheap in Miami because of a lot of competition...
