My mom was a guinea pig for emory when they were experimenting with the procedure 15yrs ago and she has some issues with nighttime driving. But when she got hers done, there was one laser doing the reshaping, when I got mine done 2 yrs ago I think I had 15-20 lasers reshaping my cornea. Even still she insisted that me and my two sisters each get lasik when we turned 21 and our eyes stabilized.

I'd say the procedure is almost perfect, I was in and out within an hour when I had it done, each eye took ~15seconds, the rest was waiting for the sedative to kick in so there was no chance of me fidgeting.

I had an amazing experience, the people at Emory Healthcare were very friendly. I do think it costs more there than elsewhere but I got a Delta discount and a legacy discount since my older sister and mother had each previously had the procedure there. I'm 20/15 every day now and dont have to worry about contacts or glasses anymore. I've got lifetime adjustments but my vision has not gotten any worse since the day of the surgery.
