[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m over spending $$$$ on glasses and contacts. I needed both this year (tried to cheap out with Warby Parker glasses about 2 years ago and they are not holding up well at all compared to name brand glasses) and it was $1300! However I have a high prescription - -10.5/-8 - and a small degree of astigmatism in the -8 eye but still enough to need astigmatism contacts.

Has anyone had successful vision correction surgery with this type of prescription? If so what did you get, I know there are other types other than LASIK, and where did you go in the DMV for it? I’m in NoVa but would go to DC or MD for the right doctor. I also have a family history of eye problems. My mother’s prescription is not nearly as high as mine (she can go without glasses if she’s just working at the computer or around the house or what have you), but she has had 2 retinal detachments. So honestly not sure if it’s right for me but I wanted to get some real life opinions and doctors recs. [/quote]

Isn't myopia a risk factor for retinal detachments (such as in your mother's case)?[/quote]
