Laser Vision Breakthrough is awsome
I found this book to be a wonderful guide in this very confusing industry. This book is filled with every aspect on laser vision correction that a consumer could want. After reading the book, I had the procedure myself. It was the best thing I have even done. I highly recommend this book to anyone that is considering laser vision correction.

Describes the Procedure Well, Downplays the Risks
The book gives a very detailed description of the procedureitself and many details surrounding it which is useful for anyoneconsidering the surgery. Unfortunately this can't make up for the factthat it downplays the risks, dismissing stories of bad outcomes asmostly some type of "urban legend". Also the author hasworked for one of the higher priced Laser Eye...

New Book Dispells Myths, July 18, 2000
This review is from: The Laser Vision Breakthrough: Everything You Need to Consider Before Making the Decision, Including: How Safe Is the Procedure? What Will It Cost? How Effective Is It? (Hardcover)
The new Laser Vision Breakthrough book helped me understand that getting my vision corrected is more complicated than some of the advertising I've seen and heard indicates. Some ads make it seem simple and easy. Since the laser procedure is a medical operation, the more I know about who to pick to do it, the better are my chances of getting a good result. All the laser companies seem to make the same quality and experience claims -- this book helped me understand how to evaluate the claims and make a good decision.

Informative, thorough - essential guide, July 11, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Laser Vision Breakthrough: Everything You Need to Consider Before Making the Decision, Including: How Safe Is the Procedure? What Will It Cost? How Effective Is It? (Hardcover)
This is one of the most thorough, informative guides to laser vision correction available. It is clearly written -- but does not condescend to the reader. It provides an essential education if you are considering this procedure -- or are just interested in this industry/medical phenomenon.

By A Customer
This review is from: The Laser Vision Breakthrough: Everything You Need to Consider Before Making the Decision, Including: How Safe Is the Procedure? What Will It Cost? How Effective Is It? (Hardcover)
I have read the book and had laser vision correction. I urge anyone considering having this procedure to pick up a copy of this excellent consumer guide. All possible questions you could think of are answered in a clear, concise manner. This book is informative, interesting and easy to understand. My outcome was a success, and I am free from glasses and contacts for the first time since 1974!

Thorough, Complete, June 29, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Laser Vision Breakthrough: Everything You Need to Consider Before Making the Decision, Including: How Safe Is the Procedure? What Will It Cost? How Effective Is It? (Hardcover)
In a world of mass production and commoditization, laser vision correction is at risk for becoming a perceived "easy" procedure. This book reminds us that not every "product" is for everybody; no matter the public perception. Make no mistake, laser vision correction is a medical procedure that attempts to correct your vision for life. You owe it to yourself to ask many questions; hard questions, before you put your only two eyes under a laser and in the hands of a surgeon. This book not only explores the questions you should ask, the answers you should hear and the things you should look for, but also the incredible successes when laser vision correction is done right. Very informative.

Good basic information but not really up to date for 2002, July 5, 2002
This review is from: The Laser Vision Breakthrough: Everything You Need to Consider Before Making the Decision, Including: How Safe Is the Procedure? What Will It Cost? How Effective Is It? (Hardcover)
I bought this book because I am going to have LASIK surgery the end of the month at the same place that sponsors the book (TLC). With the technology changing all the time, some of the stuff in this book is a bit out of date, but pretty accurate with what is going to be done. I would recommend a revision come out within the next couple months because of the leaps and bounds the procedure has had since the book was published. Don't get me wrong...this is an excellent start to find out more about LASIK and just don't depend on the Internet for the rest of your research.
