I got Lasik a little over a week ago and if anyone is thinking about it, its a must. I wake up now seeing 20/20 or better. Since its such a new feeling for me, I keep thinking I fell asleep in my contacts when I wake up. The procedure was nothing and the next morning I was seeing great and playing golf. I have worn contacts middle school and wish I would have gotten this done years ago. My allergies made my life miserable with my contacts either floating around or becoming foggy.
The only negative I can say is I was told that I wanted to sleep immediately after the procedure. I had them give me the strongest Valium allowed (10mg I think) and then proceeded to take two Benadryl once I got home. That ish didnt work. I was up for 4 hours after the procedure and I thought I made the worse decision of my life. I now know why they want you to sleep. It was like sandpaper on the eyes and I couldnt even open in my dark basement. Once I was able to fall asleep it was fine.
If I had to do over again, I would get the earliest appt instead of the latest and stay up the night before so you are guaranteed to fall asleep when you get home. I am sure this has been discussed on here before but thought I would get people on the fence to make the move. Its well worth it.
