No more contacts, no more glasses for me! i had lasik on Tuesday and have to say it is amazing!! Of course because of the $$ I'm going to have to be careful with my scrapping budget but never again will I have itchy dry eyes from contacts when I'm up late scrapping!! Yippee

OH Congrats!
just think of all the money you are saving on contacts, solutions, glasses, etc!

Isn't it AWESOME
although I miust say it is the most bizarre procedure and I don't know if I could go through it again -
I had it done back in 2002 (I went to Canada where it was a LOT cheaper!) and am still amazed when I realize I don't have to wipe off glasses when it rains or deal with the itch!

Although during the winter when it gets dry insde sometimes they get 'dry and tired'

Wow, I have been contemplating whether or not to get this done. I have worn glasses since I was 12 so I would really love not to wear them, but I am wuss. Too wussy for contacts even. DH says to go for it, but I'm not sure: I'm afraid I would freak out.

Congratulations Julianne! Tell me it wasn't that bad, and maybe I'll consider it!

I had Lasik surgery almost 2 years ago and it feels like I was born this way! It is so nice to not be dependent on glasses or contacts. I have had no problems whatsoever, and went from 20/600 in both eyes to 20/20. It's totally worth it! There is no pain involved, and the worst part for me was mental - the thought of knowing what they were really doing was creepier than feeling (or not feeling) it happen. But by the time you start freaking out, it's over. Less than 1 minute per eye. Done! Get it - you won't regret it.

I agree completely!
I was afraid I was going to 'screw it up' by not lloking 'right' at the blue light!

I had mine done in December 1999 - it was still covered by our insurance at the time and it cost under $1000 for me and DH to both have it done. It is the best money I have EVER spent!! Congratulations!! Just wait until the first time you go to pack for a trip and you don't need to take contact "stuff" - it will really sink in.

Stephres you must do it! Very quick and easy! I used LasikPlus which I believe is nation wide and they were great. Very kind and understanding and it is so quick you don't have time to panic!! No pain just a little itchy the day after.
