Btw - would be interested if anyone, or anyone knows anyone, who has had laser eye treatment done. Any good or bad feedback welcomed. :blink:
Seriously, great op - Mrs Millhouse did it 10 years ago and all still OK. But, do your research and know all the risks you face... it's something you should do with your eyes wide open. |

Where can you get the WD TV player??
It's just that I've got a WD one and know that the firmware is updated pretty reasonably and that there are firmware hacks out there if you want to do your own thing with it |

The problem with most the big ones is that the picture quality is quite poor, Unless you spend serious money 15k + . I would rather have a smaller but higher quality picture. I think Samsung are essentially the same as LG too?
LG is pretty similar to Samsung, it's just the extras that get chucked in tend to be different, or the ease in which to get the extras is less of a problem with Samsung, where I am. It might well be different for you guys :) |

First time was a bit beyond my control. Second time it just seemed like the best option during a difficult time. As to doing it a third time , well, it gets easier the more often you do it....
Does put a different value on personal possesions, though. Easy come, easy go...:) |

My wife had laser surgery 3-4 years ago in China and is very happy with they result having disposed of her contact lens.[/QUOTE] My boss had them done here--didn't go right, and he's had a year of trying to get them sorted. He'll never see as well as he did before. I don't think it was down to the surgeon--like most medical procedures, there's no 100% guarantee. |

Had mine done in Dubai last year. One of the best decisions I have ever made. No more losing glasses (or more importantly buying new ones). Life without window frames, etc, etc.
Was done for 6k AED all in for both eyes. Cheap as chips aswell. Go for it! |

To be honest when you're asking someone to mess around with your eyes I would not personally be looking for a bargain. Actually I would probably pay a bit extra if it meant the risks were reduced.

I'd love good eyesight, but am absolutely terrified of having it done. Keep meaning to look into Moorfields as that sounds more reassuring than some clinic on the Beach Road. |

I just find it interesting that anyone would buy a Cobone/Groupon for it. Holy crap! Having seen how that goes down for other stuff I would be just slightly apprehensive about having some overworked surgeon near my eyes..
Meow - will check tonight, I can't remember other than it was Dubail Medical City or whatever it's called. |

Agree it's not something to rush into. My wife did do a lot of Internet research about the clinic which was a top one, in our hometown Tianjin, and the op done by a machine guided by a professor! I cannot remember the timespan between the op and removal of the protective covering, but think it was 3-4 days. Fortunately it wasn't the blind leading the blind as I led her down the street to get a taxi to the home metro station! |
