Just Had Lasik Eye Surgery, Wow

February 9, 2007 by 3 Comments

lasik.jpgI’ve had contact lenses since I was 12 years old, and over the last few years they had really started to bother my eyes. Probably due to all the time I spend staring at a monitor, but of course I’ve been doing that for years as well.

Anyway, this winter I decided to pull the trigger and trust modern science to fix my eyes. After two months of wearing glasses in public for the first time in my life (it’s not so bad), I just had lasik surgery on Thursday. It was true that it was a painless procedure, but it was rather uncomfortable to have people doing strange things to your eyes, and it felt like something out of Clockwork Orange.

However, the results are phenomenal as my vision is now as good as it was with my gas-permeable contacts. I’d highly recommend it to anyone who wants a long term vision fix.

    Just noticed the post about Lasik; I had it done in 2001 on both eyes and again on my right eye in 2001. I was pretty nearsighted and, while I had complications, I’d do it over again (but maybe choose different timing).

    Anyway, over the last 7 years there’s been a very slight regression, but I still see well enough not to wear glasses except, maybe when I paint or go to an art gallery -where I’d like a little bit more “sharpness” then I’m getting. Otherwise, I’m fine.

    Glad it went well for you. Had a cousin who did it recently before getting married as well. I’ve heard that it was a painless experience as well though it was pretty gory when I saw it on video.
