I am thinking about getting Lasik. I know Wolfe Eye Clinic is good, but I have a feeling they are quite a bit more expensive than other places. Does anyone have any recommendations for the best place to go?

I had mine the day we lost to Iowa and broke the five year streak. September 2003. I had it done at Lasik vision Institute in Eagen, MN. I think they may have one in des Moines.
They own the machine, but "rent" the doctors. These doctors fly around and do them. I had it done on Saturday and on Sunday had a check up and went home after that. Had 2-3 more checkups later. Had to have one eye touched up which wasn't dialed in exactly right, no cost.
Here is the kicker with them, if you have patience, they are negotiable. I was a -9.0 level correction (needed higher level type stuff). Was quoted to be around 1200/eye to have it done. I chatted with them and they came down to 2000 total. I told them that it was too close to harvest and I would wait.......unless they could do it for half price. I got a phone call back a couple days later and was told, if you can do it the month of September we will do it for 499/eye. I did it then
Also had mine done at Wolfe about 8 years ago and went their for the same reasons, didn't want to go cheap on my eyes. Best money I have spent.Had mine done at Wolfe about 12 years ago. Vision now 20/15. They were expensive, but I didn't really shop around. Knew their reputation and didn't want to take chances on my eyes. No regrets.

My mom worked for Dr Husein as a nurse for many years. Never had a bad word to say about him. I believe he is around $2,000 an eye.I will echo the previous comments (I would assume due to everyone else being lifelong glasses/contact wearers like I was at the time) -- best money ever spent.
It was the first thing I saved up for once I started my career after college, and it was well worth it. I had mine done in 2003 at Dr. Husein in DSM. 20/20 ever since.
If I were to ever need it again, (if it's physically possible to have it done twice) I would do it in a heartbeat.
I think I was -8What were some of your correction strengths before you got Lasik? I would love to get it done but my correction is only -2.5 so it's not terrible. I feel like if I was -4.0 or worse it would definitely be worth the money.
