I just had my Lasik yesterday

and I am very pleased with the results. The key to Lasik is....do your research, get a reputable doctor, make sure you get a good pre-exam and know what makes a good candidate vs. a bad candidate. If you are not a good candidate, the opthamologist should refuse to perform the surgery. I chose the Bausch and Lomb Flying Spot Laser. Do your research online and read the FDA results before choosing your laser and doctor.
My surgery was not pain-free as described by virtually everyone who gets the surgery. I had quite a bit of discomfort from the device holding my eye open. But, the laser didn't hurt at all. The weird thing was the smell of the laser. Anyone notice that? I had a lot of discomfort yesterday, but sleep and vicadin

took care of that.
I am amazed with the results today and could actually see my clock by my bed (what a weird thing! but anyone with bad eyes can relate). I could also see my face in the mirror! I am reading road signs, books, watching TV, and seeing 20/25 already. It should only improve!
It was a good decision, worth the money (don't feel guilty about spending the money and don't choose the "cheap place" in town), and I feel good about the result. Remember, the cost of your surgery will pay for itself in 5-7 years (factoring contacts, glasses, and solution). I hope you are a success story too! Just do your research!
