I'm looking to find the best vision corrective surgeon (LASIK, PRK...etc) in the Philadelphia area. I am willing to Travel to surrounding states- NY, NJ, Delaware, etc. Money is no object, because I am willing to pay top dollar for the best available. After all- these are my eyes and we only get 1 pair!
I just moved to Philly, so it has been hard finding good references and such. I have a consult at Kremer Eye this week, but I want to get several consultations.
Thanks!

Bar none, the best place for LASIK is Wills Laser Vision at Princeton, in Princeton, NJ.
They have the latest equipment and all of their doctors have very impressive credentials. They do give free consults, so I definitely suggest taking advantage of that.
They cost a little more, but as you said you get what you pay for (I never understand people who use Groupons and whatnot for laser eye surgery as if it were dance lessons or something).
Good luck! Here's their info:

Blurred vision after LAsik?
Uma R
I went for eye checkup after one month of lasik surgery on 14/3/2007. Now, my right eye is 6/6 vision. Left eye is -0.5. Before lasik both the eyes have -4 power. Still i am seeing blurred vision only. While lubricating with drops i am able to see clear vision. Dr. told it is because of dry eye. I have done shirmer test also. The dry condition is normal only (25ml).
Now my question is blurred vision is because of dry eye or residual power in my left eye?
Then this residual power will be a constant or will it be a fluctuating power (either decrease or increase)?
Whether this residual power can be reduced by taking vitamin A tablets?
How can i know healing is over or not?
When healing will be over?
can i able to see without blurred vision?
Kindly answer my questions. I am really disappointed because of blurry vision.

Hello. I would like to share my experiences with you. I had my bladeless Intralase Lasik on 3/21/07 here in Philadelphia. Prior to the surgery, I did a lot of research, A LOT! And I learned all the advantages and disadvantages after surgery and how important it is to pick a qualified and experienced surgeon. I had a -7.00 in both eyes with astigmatism before the surgery. One month later, I am seeing 20/20 vision in each eye, which is considered perfect vision. I have mild dryness and my night vision is normal. Blurry vision is a side effect with Lasik. I was fortunate enough to not have this, however, when my eyes become dry, I add a drop of lubricant and the blurriness goes away. That blurriness is because of the mild dry eye. If you are having other blurriness, you should ask your doctor about this. From the research I have done, it suggests that people can see blurry for a few months after surgery. I have a co-worker who had the traditional LASIK done, and her eyes were blurry for two months after surgery. She was disappointed too, but it eventually went away. You should be going for regular check ups with your LASIK surgeon as well as your regular eye doctor for second opinions. Research suggests that it can take months for the eye to be totally healed, and even some research suggests that the "flap" that is created during surgery, may never heal to 100%. In regards to vitamins, from what I've read and been told by eye doctors, is that Omega 3 fatty acids help with the dryness of the eye. I have have not heard anything about vitamin A. Dryness is common, its the most common side effect of LASIK. Dryness can stay with your eye for up to a year, so be prepared for that. If you do not feel that you are getting good help from your Lasik surgeon, please go see another surgeon or eye doctor for a second opinion. Your eyes are very important! I listed a few web sites below for you to check out. The first two web sites, are two web sites that I researched before I had my surgery. These sites helped me see the disadvantages that could happen with this surgery. However, all the research suggests to make sure you choose a good surgeon who is factual and experienced. The last web site I listed is the center where I had my bladeless lasik performed. I just wanted to include this so you could see what other doctors are doing and maybe that could help with the questions you ask your surgeon or doctor. I wish you the very best of luck.
