I had LASEK so my healing time has been slower. My vision is about 20/40 right now but every morning I wake up it is a little better and should be completely well within another week or two. It really hit me the other night when I was trying to get ready for bed and I felt like I needed to take out my contacts.
Heheheh. For about a week I used to wake up and fumble at the nightstand for my glasses
For anyone thinking about it I would say do it. The worst part was really the waiting time up to the surgery when all I had time do to was think about it. Once it was go time it wasn't that big of a deal.
'zackly.
My advice would be to shop around a few places, do some research (and by gods definitely don't watch YouTube videos or anything, just read about it and inform yourself about what will be happening.). Also be prepared for aftercare and the costs. I have been doing multiple drops for over a week now and have to continue doing them at least until I see the doc again in a week. There is an anti-inflammatory, an antibiotic, lubricating drops, and there was another one I don;t have to use anymore. I am also starting another one tonight to help repair my tear production. If there was one thing I was not prepared for it was the costs of the aftercare (my prescriptions are around 400 for all the drops I need).
The aftercare stuff wasn't included? Yikes. Mind you, I didn't have an antibiotic, just lubricating drops and some painkillers. They're stingy with antibiotics over here.
Oh, and thanks for everyone who offered me much the same advice. You were all right.

Presumably you can wear glasses or contacts. When, say, driving at night. *NM*
