Lasik and Ridiculously Good Vision

Lasik and the New World
I finally did it. Got Lasik eye surgery and got rid of glasses.
The results are phenomenal!
There were definitely a few points that I thought through before I actually went in. The major ones are:
1) What kind of results should I expect? 2) What is the most important factor when doing surgery? 3) What about afterwards? Will my vision change again over 5 years?
Here are my conclusions before I went in
1) I should expect at least 20/40, but most likely 20/20 2) The surgeon - I went to great lengths to select a surgeon. Great surgeons are not cheap, but they are worth it. At the end of the day, if you had a mediocre surgeon, there is a good chance that you will still have good results. But would you have GREAT results? Probably not. I chose Ella Faktorovich at (Pacific Vision Institute)[http://www.pacificvision.org/the-institute/meet-dr-faktorovich/bio.php], and she is one of the best surgeons in the world.
With the best surgeon you can find, you can expect that the surgeon will use the best equipment, have the best staff, and do everything else as well as anyone else. 3) Well, this is a tough one. And no surgeon (as expected) was able to give me an absolute answer. But your odds of vision changing after your prescription has been stable for 1 or more years is highly unlikely.
Amazing Vision
I don’t remember every seeing the world so clearly. I can see at least 20/15 now. (Apparently they don’t have the eye chart for 20/10)
There’s no dryness, distortions, or anything else that people usually complained about.
Life is awesome.
You’re right, but the surgeon is very affordable and worth it. Ultimately, if there’s still a good surgeon mediocre results until we have a good opportunity for all.
What the surgeon found the best suit suit.. Is the best surgeons are expected to use the equipment that is most qualified employees, and all the things you want out of it, as well as others.

‘Surgeon - Surgeon - Surgeon’ - this is what my surgeon said when I was choosing different surgeons.
This makes a great deal of sense, because there is no way I can understand all the intricacies of the surgery just by reading a couple of blog sites.
You must trust your surgeon and that he/she will make the right decisions on equipment, procedure, and best practices.
Best of luck!
