Mandel Vision. One of the best in the city. It’s more expensive than most but worth it.

Even if you don’t go there, I cannot recommend it enough. I had -5.75 vision, couldn’t see my phone or a book in front of me without glasses/contacts. I got it a year ago and it’s changed my life. Sounds dramatic but true. My only regret is waiting so long, I got it at 31.

Mine cost $6,000. You can get it cheaper elsewhere but plan upwards of $3,500. My post-treatment meds (eyedrops) were minimal, maybe $50?

I got it at 22. Thought to myself, I'll probably need reading glasses once I'm 40-45, so I might as well enjoy 20 years of not having to wear them.

Interested in this as I don’t mind contacts. How bad were the halo and glare post surgery?

Zero halo, glare, or dry eye for me after 6 months.

I didn’t mind contacts either, truthfully, but this has been a world of difference. Never thinking about contact solution or losing one, reordering, packing it for a trip, etc. It seems like a minor mental lift overall but it’s just one thing less.
