My LASIK consultation appointment was fantastic! The doctor told me I have suitably thick corneas and my prescription is stable, therefore I am a good candidate for the procedure. The entire appointment took 90 minutes, and I got to see an actual surgery happening that day. (It wasn't as gruesome as I anticipated.)

However (since my pupils are rather on the large side) to help prevent the possiblity of night halos and glare, I'll be having Custom Wavefront LASIK which adds about $300 per eye.

The initial price was $1999 per eye, but they knocked off a few hundred due to the fact that I told them my boss's wife had the procedure done at their facility in 2004, and I made an appointment to have it done within a week. I was hoping to get a 15% discount through my vision insurance, but that only applies to in-network facilities. Regardless, the couple hundred they knocked off equals that anyway. Additionally, if I put this on my credit card I can shave off another 2% (cashback). I will pay it off, as usual, at the end of the month.

The total final price will be $3500. My appointment is set for Friday!
