I highly recommend it (and I certainly do not consider myself OLD!

Since I got two different opinions from two different specialist regarding whether of not to have the surgery, I've decided to see my old optomitrist from a few years ago for one more checkup. I trust them and will do whatever they say. The one specialist that said I needed the procedure said it would cost me $5600 out of pocket to have it done even though I have good insurance. Some special procedure or something. My insurance company said it should only cost me something like $300 out of pocket. My insurance agent told me he is trying to take my money with this special procedure and it's not necessary. Sooooooooooo long story longer, if I'm told next week that the surgery is a good idea, I'll find another specialist to do the job.
Glad to hear your happy with the results. John
