About $3k per eye (that was about 5-6 yrs ago).

or Singapore for 3.5k

Aftercare will be a problem if something happened

I looked into it as my eye sight is shocking. But I wasn't keen on the risks as small as they are. I'd rather have poor eye sight then none at all.

Getting the wisdom teeth out instead.

I have heard that you need to have glasses and no change in sight for a minimum of 2 years prior to getting lasik. Any truth to that?
I should get my eyes checked but don't like the thought of having to have glasses so would be keen if you can skip that step...

I have been looking into this alot They say you should have a huge improvement in site about 2 hours after the surgery. You should notice a difference straight away and not need to wear glasses.

They say that your eye site will keep improving over the first three months.

I was very short sighted at -5.5 with astigmatism and the clinic in Subi wouldn't do it. Went to Dr McGeorge at SJOG Murdoch and was no problem for him . cost $6K both eyes done on same day. Was meant to keep eyes dry for a few weeks but went to Thailand the very next week and went swimming & snorkelling whoops.
2 years later I still get dry eyes sometimes which makes the vision a bit blurry but not that bad. Just have a bottle of moisturising eyedrops handy.
I was told I would see halos at night around lights but I don't have that problem or it doesn't bother me. My night vision is as good as before with glasses.
