My optometrist in Killeen referred me to Dell Laser Consultants and I couldn't be happier. It has been a month since my lasik and everything is going great. I am 29 and have been wearing glasses/contacts since I was 8. My rx was pretty high -6 and -5.75, so I had some severe nearsidedness. I literally couldn't see without glasses/contacts. I hated wearing glasses because my eyes are senstive to the sun and you don't see as well as you do with contacts. I hated wearing contacts because you can't wear them all the time and my eyes tend to get itchy when my allergies get bad(which isn't comfortable with contacts in). My husband and I have been looking into lasik for a long time, but it's scary to think about someone cutting your eye with a blade. With Dell Laser Consultants they don't use a blade, so that took away a lot of our worry. Plus, the Intralase heals faster than the blade. I also want to say that I love the staff. Everyone was very nice and relaxed, which helped me to be not as nervous. When you are in the surgery room, which you are only in for maybe 15 minutes, Dr. Dell and two assistants are in there with you. I know it sounds funny, but they are your personal cheerleaders for those 15 minutes. I can't say how much that helped me to not freak out. If no one is telling you that you are doing the right thing how are you suppossed to know, and that is NOT one of the times you want to be wondering. As of now my vision is 20/20. I still have some very mild halos at night, but that has gotten better everyday. I am having some nighttime dry eyes, but that is due to me not closing my eyes all the way when I sleep. My optometrist told me to get some Refresh PM and that fixed the problem and I shouldn't have the issue when my eyes are completely healed in two more months. I will definately recommend everyone to Dell Laser Consultants.
