That sounds shady AF. "Oh yeah, pay up front and we'll charge you less, because if it turns out we don't know how to use these lasers right we're going to need that money to skip town." Never pay that much cash up front for anything unless you need to skip town in a hurry.

The doctor was the top Lasik provider in my area with over 20 years of experience. Nothing shady about it at all. I also got a receipt, and everything was on record anyway.

You might also want to cue up some music or podcasts or something for that day, because if you're too wound up to nap you'll at least want to be resting comfortably on the couch but without looking at the TV or your phone or tablet or anything.

Highly recommend this, as you won't be able to read or watch screens.

I also have astigmatism, both eyes are football shaped.

You'll be fine. Just be aware that you may need to return for an enhancement.

The first week after PRK you'll be relegated to staying in a dark room because light hurts your eye intensely. The first three or so months you won't see very well out of it at all. Around 6 months you'll start getting closer to your final results, but it will still heal for over a year. And it never got as good as my left eye. I've thought about even getting contacts for my right eye because it's a little annoying, but like, it's not terribly blurry or anything. Just a little. If I didn't get a taste of LASIK in my left eye, I wouldn't know what I was missing out on.

Thank God my corneas were thick enough for Lasik. This sounds like a nightmare.
