Lasik near Perris?

[Shotgun 1]

Can anyone recommend a good laser vision center near Perris or the LA/San Diego area?
Thanks!

Hi Keely...

i know you asked for one near perris, but if you would like an "out-of-town" option, Dr Joel Shugar has performed most of the Lasik operations on the folks I know in Deland. He's a skydiver, but an outstanding eye doc.
List of patients that I know of:

Gary Beyer of Airspeed
Kim Griffin of Birdman
Lise Aune of the Norgies
Lucie Samuel, massage therapist extraordinare
David van Greuningen of PD Blue / Genesis

..and these are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. I don't know his website right off hand, but check www.skyleague.com (the NSL website) and there is a link to Dr. Joel's website. He's a skydiver, too, and offers a skydiver discount.
He's got thousands to his name and is world reknown for his work.
...no i have no vested interest in Dr. Joel or his eye center. I just know lots of people that swear by him. :)

hope this helps,
arlo

oh yeah, his office is in Perry, FL, not Deland.

Hey sweetie~ I had lasik done in the newport beach are, by Dr Tooma...I was very pleased with the whole staff and the results. I had it done back in 98, of couse when it was about the price of a brand new rig ouch lol.... I wasn't as blind as I thought I was when I went in for the procedure, was done in what was just minutes....was so surreal I had worn glasses or contacts my whoel life and all that changed in literally minutes. I had an istigmatism...lol sorry that is spelt wrong. I was corrected to 20/15....I actually do wear contacts now to keep my vision at 20/15...although without I'd see 20/20...I know sounds weird, but 20/20 isn't sharp for me.
Hmmm what else can I tell ya...if you need any more questions to be answered flip me an email and I will send ya my phone number....

How long did you wait to start jumping again? I'm as blind as a bat and can't even afford it right now, but someday I might want to do it.

I know this isn't any help, but I had it done 10 months before I took my first jump...maybe there's some other jumpers that have had it done while they were active...anyone? Buellar? Buellar?

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who gave me advice on the Lasik! I now have an appointment to have it done on January 15 with Dr. Tooma :-)

Oh, and it still costs about as much as a new rig :-( But I'm kinda scared of those cheaper places... Oh well, handing over that much cash won't seem so bad once I'm able to see!

Thanks everyone! :-)
