QUESTION:
Who is the best LASIK doctor here in Los Angeles?
Any recommendation for the best LASIX doctor in town? I've been searching through the internet and came accross with Dr. Maloney, Dr. Caster and Dr. Wallace as being named among the top eye doctors in Los Angeles. I am still very skeptical with the procedure and kinda scared reading bad testimonials of the procedure in the internet. Pls help me make a decision.-
ANSWER:
the one that takes your insurance is the best one. My insurance only got me 10% off each eye! My bill was roughly 00 per eye.My procedure went fine, and I almost have forgotten what it's like to wear glasses (and I've worn them since 2nd grade!) I had mine done 2 years ago Monday. I can still see fine. I'm a little leery about driving at night, because things seem to be 'darker' than I remember, they simply don't adjust to the darkness the way they used to. I don't have any issues with halos around lights or anything.

QUESTION:
Where is the cheapest place to get Lasik eye surgery in the Fresno area?
Or if you've gotten it done or know how much it costs at certain clinic please answer. I will also be willing to travel as far as Los Angeles up to San Francisco.-
ANSWER:
Why do CHEAP and LASIK belong in the same sentence!?! Do yourself a favor. Go to maolneyvision.com read what they have to say about surgeons in your area that they reccomend. Read about what to look for in a laser surgeon. Learn the questions to ask and how to find out if the doctor os good or not. You should always go with the BEST not the CHEAPEST with your eyes. These are not HUBCAPS we are working with. When people come to our office that have had problems from cheap places, we send them to the Maloney institute to be fixed. Dr. Maloney is the best there is and only refers to the best. Do not do any less for yourself. You will be sorry.

QUESTION:
Is this good deal for wavefront lasik?
00 Lasik wavefront for both eye (2 years no interest) or 00 (cash/check) for Los Angeles area, my vision is -8.25 and -7.5. doctor perform over 13k patient.other lasik doctor use nidek lasik not wave cost about 0 less but is farther away and much more crowded. but he has about 40k patient.
-
ANSWER:
That is a very good price for wavefront Lasik. In our area, it is about 3500-3800 for wavefront in the best surgical facilities.I would also inquire about charges for re-treatments in the rare event prescription fades are noted a year or so after the procedure. Many surgeons provide retouches at no charge, but still others will charge after a certain time period. You will also need to be on a few prescription drops following the surgery, all of which are extremely important to the proper healing of your eyes. Check to see if you will be responsible for paying for these medications or the surgical center will provide them to you.

QUESTION:
Does anyone have any feedback about Lasikfirst in Los Angeles?
Hi,I am scheduled to have my Lasik procedure done at this eye correction center next week. I went in for the consultation and had my eyes evaluated. The staff was very professional and the doctor who evaluated my eyes was also very professional. I am a little worried just because the price is a lot lower than other surgical centers, but this may be because the center is not in a great part of town. The credentials of the surgeon were impressive and I did not find any litigation or negative reviews against either the surgeon or the organization.
If anyone has had his or her eyes worked on at Lasikfirst, please write to me and tell me about your experience. These are my eyes and I don't want to make a mistake.
Thanks!
Ryan-
ANSWER:
no but you could look for forums and review sites. You should have done this before booking though.

ANSWER:
well first you should go to your eye doctor and talk to him if your a candidate for lasik. he will most likely want to do a pentacam that will measure your corneas thickness. if your corneas aren't to thin then most likely he'll say go for it. lasik price ranges depending on the place, the ophthalmologist i know charges around 2500 per eye. yes you can get it right when you turn 18. hope everything works out for you.

QUESTION:
What Can I Do To Help Me Become a Police Officer?
I'm 15 years old. I live in Los Angeles. I want nothing more in life than to be a LAPD Police Officer. I am a good student 3.0 GPA at the worst. I want to go to University of Washington and study criminology. I have weak eyesight though. Should I get LASIK done when I'm 18? What classes are recommended if I want to go to a University for 4 years? Maybe later on in life, I might retire from the police force and if possible get a promotion as a detective or take a desk job. How does the average day start? Like you wake up and then go patrolling, or report to a station? I have heard that Officers don't have personal lives. How hard is it to establish a family? Thank You.-
ANSWER:
You can start preparing now. Right now, you should learn as much as you can while in high school. Earn the best grades that you can. Be a good person. Maintain a good reputation. Don't do anything that you would not want a background investigator finding out about. Be physically fit. You should attend college, and earn at least a four year degree. Earn the highest GPA that you can. The more college that you have, the better! You should choose a college major that interests you and that would also be useful for police work. Criminal justice, accounting, psychology, a foreign language, or computer science are some good examples. Even if a police department does not require you to have a degree, you will have a better chance of being hired if you have one. Some police departments pay their officers more if they have degrees. Having a degree will also benefit you when trying to get promoted after you become a police officer. Visit the Los Angeles Police Department's website. You should try to join the Los Angeles Police Explorer Program. Police officers do have personal lives, and can have a good family life. There are several things that you can do to increase your chances of becoming a police officer. Check out http://www.peaceofficerjobs.com for excellent information and advice about becoming a police officer. Good luck!
