    If your eyes are that bad, LASIK may not give the desired result and you might have to go the ICL route instead. Go for a free evaluation. Takes a couple of hours.

    Several friends had LASIK done by Dr. van Westenbrugge at the Gimbel Eye Centre and they raved about him. For LASIK, he's the best guy in town, or at least the best one at Gimbel.

    I had the ICL done by Dr. Gimbel himself and I'm at 20/15 now (better than 20/20). At the time, he was the only surgeon who was qualified to do it.

    ICL was $3695 per eye, Summer 2004. I could have done one eye LASIK and the other ICL, but opted for the same technology in both eyes. Add $20 for eyedrops before the surgery and the total was $7410.

    Totally worth it for me.
