Some companies refuse to do laser eye surgery on HIV (Human Immuno-deficiency Virus) + people. I originally considered getting the procedure done myself so that I can drive without glasses, ride a bike in the rain and dance.
I currently wear bifocals that also correct for cross-eyedness. Afterwards, I will still would need glasses for reading or using my computer. It would not help the cross-eyedness. Unfortunately, it can take three months for eyes to stabilise after the procedure. I would have to make to with temporary reading lenses during that time. I would have to purchase several cheap pairs from a drugstore until my eyes settled. Since I could still not see without glasses, there is not much point.
Check carefully to see what the price includes and how much the extras are. Prices are highly influenced by local competition. Prices shown are for Vancouver. They will be higher in smaller centres.
These places sometimes go out of business overnight leaving customers stranded. Make sure they have been around a long time.
