I've been wanting LASIK for years and this place was really close to where I live, so I checked them out first. Long story short, they told me I was not a candidate for LASIK because of my high prescription. Normally they'd recommend ICLs (implantable contact lenses) but the anterior chamber of my eyes were too shallow. So they said there was nothing they could do for me and told me I was better off in contacts/glasses. I was pretty discouraged until an optometrist friend of mine recommended getting several other opinions (she worked for a LASIK center that did eyes worse than mine) ... and I did. Here's where I learned the truth of BDPEC... apparently within the local ophthalmologist community, they are FAMOUS for pushing ICLs. So let me save you some time here. If your near-sighted prescription is worse than -6.00, they will recommend ICLs (below that they will do LASIK). FYI - ICLs cost a lot more than LASIK, too (ka-ching!). Anyways, if you don't fit that ICL bucket, they'd rather let you walk. After doing more research, I discovered that a high-prescription ALONE does not a bad LASIK patient make, which is what BDPEC led me to believe. In fact, the other doctors told me that because my corneas are way above average in thickness, my risk for complications is much lower! Imagine that! I'm sure that if you fit into the BDPEC business model, you will get great results. However, I STRONGLY encourage anyone considering refractive correction surgery to do your research and get at least 2 or 3 opinions outside of BDPEC. They operate on a business-first model vs. clinical-first. Good luck!
