Finally some clear direction in a confusing universe!

How wonderful to read a book that outlines step by step what can and should be expected when considering such a life changing experience! Thanks to the authors for explaining this sometimes confusing procedure. Thankyou Thankyou!

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.

New Book Dispells Myths

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

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.

The Laser Vision Breakthrough is a slam dunk!

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!
