I googled this group, and found only a couple of relevant posts
warning against cut-rate surgeons in my area. I've also visited
the various websites suggested here and found good information.

I'm 47 years old, have fairly mild myopia (-2.5 and -2.75) and
mild astigmatism (-.5 both eyes), and currently have 20/15 or
better vision with glasses. I'm considering Lasik because
glasses greatly hinder my outdoor activities of highland games
(an all-weather sport) and kayaking. I'm willing to live with
reading glasses (add 1.25 both eyes) if I can ditch glasses for
distance vision. I've worn hard contact lenses in the past, but
found them to be too much of a hassle and not secure enough to
use in kayaking in rough conditions.

I'm looking for a good Lasik surgeon in the greater Boston area.
My optometrist has referred me to Laser Eye Consultants of
Boston, and I have a consultation scheduled with them (Dr.
Rapoza) next week, but am a bit put off by the quoted range of
prices: $2250-$2900 per eye (depending on refractive error).
They do IntraLase and Custom Vue, along with what looks like a
half-dozen other variations.

There is also a TLC Vision center in my area, and I don't know
much about them (except that my optometrist's office also refers
to them: I have no idea how they choose one or the other for a
given patient).

I'm interested in any feedback or suggestions anyone might make
about cost, reputation, etc..

Thanks in advance.
