Anyone had Lasik or a similar procedure in Madison? I have found two places that perform it - TLC Laser Eye Center and Laser Vision Institute.

Good outcomes? Acceptable cost?

lasik, advice, doctors

I went for a free evaluation at Anderson and Shapiro on the far west side (near Old Sauk). They're the people who did Kara's implanted lenses and I've heard great things about them from everywhere. They flashed a lot of lights at me to determine if I was a candidate (I am) and discussed the possibility.

When I got evaluated about a year ago it was about $2,000 per eyeball for standard Lasik.

Have you an astigmatism?

2k per eye? I think with my weird vision insurance/discount program + HSA it may actually be worth it.

Yup, my eyes are pretty damn bad and funky but apparently they can correct quite a lot.

I don't have a discount program but with my HSA it comes out to something like $140 per paycheck. I'm not doing it in 2009 but it's in my plans for 2010.

Dr. Anderson from A&S was wonderful when I got my implanted lenses. I would recommend them highly. They are very skilled at LASIK.

Psh. I don't even have one of those. But I can buy a new one with my HSA.
