Laser Eye Surgery?

I've been wearing glasses since i was in 4th grade (i'm going to be 22 now).. and i just got it done in january.

It is by far the BEST thing i have ever done for myself!!

for awhile i couldn't wear contact lenses because no matter what brand, or how many eyedrops i used, it always made my eyes super red and it was bad..

but i got LASIK done and don't regret it at all.. i can now see without them perfectly..

and also, i can ejoy my daughter without worrying about poking her eyes or face with my glasses

it took meonly 2 days to heal, so i think it's perfect for you to do! and summer is right around the corner!

Wow, that's great! I'm glad you had such a good experience with it. How long was your recovery time? Was the surgery scary or painful?? (DianaB, how was your daughter's experience?) I've talked myself out of calling the surgeon yet 'cause I'm a wuss. LOL!

Thank you so much for all of the information ladies!!!

I had LASIK surgery about 5 years ago and I have zero regrets. I used to wear contacts and I was never good with keeping them clean and I would constantly fall asleep with them on. My vision is now 20/15, better than 20/20 and I no longer have headaches from straining to see. It was a painless procedure which lasted about 20 minutes. I had to wear goggles to bed to prevent me from rubbing my eyes at night and no eye makeup for one week. I would definitely recommend it!

Was it really painless? Wow! That's good to know. It seems that I'll have to put the surgery off for a while cause hubby and I just bought a house, but I want to get it done at the first opportunity. Thanks for letting me know how it went for you!
