get corrective eye surgery or lasik

Have to figure out all sorts of thinks: financing, who will take care of me the days after it (?), where I want to do it, talk to a doctor, talk to people who have done it…

got the preliminary screening – now to figure out how to get a flex. spending account at work to make it happen – scheduled for early 2009!

For me, the decision to get lasik came down to the fact that I might not pass my next mandatory medical for work and no medical = no employment. I worried about the potential for complications, but in the end it was a great decision. I’ve been glasses free for 4 years and loving it!

scares me, but I think that I will eventually get it, once I’ve saved enough money and don’t want to deal with contacts.

I got zapped for the first time in Oct. 2007. It’s a pretty simple and painless procedure, but because of my phobia it was literally the single hardest thing I have done in my life thus far.

And of course I had to get re-zapped in June :(

Oh well. I did it, and I lived. And now I have 20/20! woohoo!

This revolutionized my life. I can see great now. I’m a triathlete and my cycling has improved a 100% now that my depth perception is better.

My eyes are okay, but I would like to prefer to never wear contacts again!

i need to get lazer eye surgery haha my eyes are going haahha

I waited for several years, because I was not a good candidate. Technology is getting better and better. It look less than a half and hour and it has been wonderful.

It made me think about this goal. I came back to read my old posts. I’ve got almost 20/15 vision now. I would sooooooooo highly recommend this.

I’m at the 3 month mark and still have very slight halo issues. It seems like my main problem is seeing the lines on the road when the streets are wet. I don’t do a lot of driving at night, so I am not sure what that would be like.

LASIK sounds like it would be a scary thing, but really it is not. It is so quick, didn’t hurt, and the recovery time was nothing. (Keeping in mind I had a small problem and had to go back once a week for a little longer than normal. I’m still saying 100% worth it.)
