[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3383154, member: 26737"] I know this is a bit late (seeing as how you've already had one eye done), but Dr. Wise is good to go. Dr. Woodward (one of the founders of the practice she now owns) was my ophthalmologist for years, and when I asked him about LASIK, he brought her in to see me. We went through all the counseling and prep, then she sent me to Dean McGee for imagery of my eyeballs. After seeing that, she told me that the numbers didn't line up, which meant that lasik probably wouldn't correct my vision. As a result, although I could probably find a place that would perform the procedure, she wouldn't, and she would strongly recommend against having it done. She was also the one who explained that lasik is not considered a surgical procedure under Oklahoma law, which means that it can be performed by technicians instead of requiring an actual surgeon, and most of the horror stories about lasik involved technicians performing the procedure. (This was almost 20 years ago, so that may have changed.) The only reason I didn't end up as one of her patients when Dr. Woodward retired was that she was (and probably still is) very busy doing surgeries, and it was easier to get in to see one of the other doctors in the practice.
