My rant doesn't apply to Parkhurst. He's a fellowship trained cornea specialist and does plenty of other types of cases. I've never heard anything bad about them directly or indirectly.
LASIK is ideal for 20-something mild to moderately near-sighted folks. If you fit this category, it probably barely matters who you go to. If you have high astigmatism, are very nearsighted, are farsighted, have dry eyes, are over 40, or have a personal/family history of cornea issues it doesn't mean that you absolutely aren't eligible, but it becomes more important that you go to someone who is willing to turn you down or counsel you for an hour about what to expect and how long you'll really be without glasses. This is where the Manrique's of the world get into trouble - poor screening and patient education.
