Anyone had the lasik eye surgery done at the Filutowski Eye Center in Orlando, Fl. What did you pay?
Answer
Quality is more important than price when looking to have surgery on your eyes. Go to the clinic for an initial evaluation and ask questions like how many surgeries do you perform weekly? How current is your technology (they are coming out with better and better lasers all the time)? What does the surgeon consider "successful" 20/20, 20/15, 20/40? It may be different than what you expect. Do they charge for touch up surgeries if the intial powers are off? Do they use Interlase or a microkeratome for the intial incision (Interlase is a laser, whereas, a microkeratome is a metal blade with chance for more complications)? Do they do custom LASIK? etc?
Get a feel for your surgeon, ask good questions and go with your gut. It's your eyes, so feel like you are making the best decision. Also make sure they explain the risks and complications thoroughly so you are 100% informed.

Answer
My Story
My name is Patrick Sheahan. I had lasik eye surgery at the age of 23. When I went in for a consultation at Lasik Plus they said I was a perfect candidate. I was only -1.25 in each eye and could almost make due without glasses. After the lasik surgery my left eye slowly started to deteriorate. I was getting dizzy spells and migraine headaches daily. I started taking pain killers. I went to my optometrist to see if I could get a pair of glasses because all I could see out of my left eye was light. She told me that my left cornea was severely damaged and it was shaped like a football. I immediately made an appointment to see Dr Gerald Horn of Lasik Plus, the man who performed my lasik surgery. He made me and my grandfather wait for 5 hours in the waiting room. When I finally got in to see him he admitted there was a major complication and blamed the laser not himself. Dr Horn said that there may have been a malfunction in the laser and there was nothing he could do for me. Dr Horn was very rude to me and my grandfather. He rushed us out of his office before answering all of our questions. He told us he had a meeting to go and if we had any other questions we had to make another appointment. In the following weeks I consulted many corneal experts who came up with the same conclusion that I needed a corneal transplant. After a proper donor was found I had had my transplant done on July 10, 2003. A corneal transplant is not a pleasant procedure. They cut the cornea out of your eye, replace it with a donorâs cornea and in my case it took over 30 stitches in my eye. The removal of the stitches is done a few at a time, only when the stitch loosens with a needle like instrument while you are conscious, which resulted in numerous doctor visits. I had to pay 18,000 dollars for that surgery. I also paid 4,000 for a lens implant procedure done on October 14, 2005. My doctor has told me to prepare for many other future procedures and that my cornea can reject at any time
If you decide to have lasik. Stay away from these lasik doctors.
