Maloney Vision Institute

When people learn I got lasik done and how much I paid for it ($6400), they're shocked.  I don't understand that.  If you're going to get your eyes done, wouldn't you want to go to the best?  Why would anyone compromise their vision?  Anyone who does their research will know that Dr. Robert Maloney is the best lasik surgeon in Los Angeles.  He's the guy people go to when they get a botched lasik, and is able to treat them and make their eyes better.  He's the guy other lasik surgeons go to when they want lasik done to themselves.  He's done the operation himself on practically every member of his family and wife's family.  

There's something about Dr. Maloney, he's one of those guys that you feel like you can trust without really knowing him.  He told me that I had to go about a month without wearing contacts because I had a certain problem with my eyes.  Anyway, when I was finally ready for the procedure, it took all of 5 minutes.  It didn't hurt, although there is a bit of discomfort when they use some sort of device to keep your eyes open.  The next day, I went through that ritual of seeing time without the aid of glasses.

They take care of you up to a year after your surgery.  I've interacted with different doctors during my post-op follow ups.  I have to say, if you can, try to schedule your appointments with Dr. Farid Eghbali, he is an absolute RIOT!  He is so hilarious, a total joker and so laid back.  I now have 20/15 vision (don't know what it was before, but my contacts prescription was -6.75, which is pretty bad), don't experience any halos or glares, and marvel constantly at the crispiness of my new vision.  If you're thinking of getting lasik, don't compromise, go to the best and get it done right.
