Any recommendations for LASEK places in triangle? (Charlotte, Raleigh: vs, health)

[sunspotzsz]

I have been wearing contacts for a few years and getting tired of it.

I did a lot of research on laser eye surgery and decide that LASEK is the best choice.

I am wondering if anyone had experience of doing LASEK in triangle area and would like to share.

Thanks a lot.

I'm going here next week, referred by my doctor: raleighop.com

I'll probably end up having eye surgery. Lucky me. They seem to offer a variety of services, including Lasik. It's "Lasik," by the way, not "Lasek."

Who is your doctor there? I had cataract surgery with Dr. Laber last month, and can highly recommend him. I'm pleased with the results, and was very pleased with his care.

Lasek and Lasik are two different procedures.

Oh! I had no idea. Are they just different brand names for the same type of procedure?

LASEK and LASIK are actually acronyms.

LASEK: Laser Assisted Sub-Epithelial Keratomileusis
LASIK: Laser Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis

Here's an explanation: LASEK vs LASIK

I used the Raleigh Eye Center in 1999. No complaints and I'm still 20-25.

A few friends and one family member used

iLASIK Charlotte (NC) | Laser Eye Surgery & Cataract Surgery | Christenbury.com

Obviously out of town, but it's said that he has one of the largest practices in the state, and does a ton of these procedures.
