Had it done around 9 or 10 years ago. I was -8.00 in both eyes with some astigmatism(legally blind). I wore contacts for about 10 years prior to that. They couldn't make glasses good enough to correct without severe distortion - like looking in one of those spherical mirrors. Cost $2000 per eye. To me , it was worth ten times that. For months afterwards I would wake up saying "Hey, I can see!" My vision is 20/15 in one eye and 20/30 in the other. If I remember correctly, the limits they could measure was 20/400, and I was worse than that. After surgery they taped plastic shields on my eyes and sent me home. The next morning they took off the shields and my wife and I went shopping. Except I could see better than I EVER could before. I wore safety glasses night and day for a few weeks because you would be amazed how many times you try to stick your finger in your own eye in a day. I don't know if the procedure is the same nowadays, but the hardest part was when I had to stare at a focal point for a whole minute (per eye) without looking off. That's about how long the laser zapping part took. May have taken ten minutes altogether. I think the main thing is to go to someone reputable who has done it for a long time. It was relatively new when I had it done, but I went to a guy who had done a couple thousand. Good luck with whatever you decide. Holler if you want any more detail than that.

Ford part numbers follow the following rules. Most part numbers are in three parts. The middle part is called the
