Though my surgery was technically called "intralase" (I still get confused by what the actual difference is) but it is interesting to hear others opinions and experiences going through this.

Reading about your experience has made me start to think seriously about Lasik...I am so sick of my glasses and contacts!! Though I'm nervous about the dry eye thing, as my contacts seem to already make my eyes kind of dry later in the day. Keep us updated on how things are going - the idea of waking up and having everything be in focus and clear sounds amazing!!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11067087986650754525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1301052227457633543.post-52159096781208348952013-01-24T23:00:32.714-05:002013-01-24T23:00:32.714-05:00I was just thinking about you today wondering how ...I was just thinking about you today wondering how this went!

It will just gross me out like the pictures of your red eyes do. Still, I'm so glad you have had such an amazingly positive experience with this.

I just realized that you moved (blogs)... I am OBVIOUSLY way behind on reading blogs since you posted 2 months ago that "Saying I Do" was closing up shop.<br /><br />2. I am so glad to hear that you had a great experience with LASIK!!! I had my eyes done in 2008 and I still tell people that it was the best thing I've ever done for my eyes. Toward the end of my relationship with contacts, I was miserable in them and glasses in the Texas summer heat was just not an option.<br /><br />From someone who is almost 5 years in, I can tell you that eye drops will be your best friends, probably for the rest of your life, but for sure in the winter. Your eyes will get tired faster when you're reading (if you were someone who could read a whole book in a day, that probably won't be feasible anymore), they will get tired even faster when you're looking at a computer screen and don't be freaked out if you are doing something close up and then you look at something far away and it takes some time for your eyes to adjust... mine still do that.<br /><br />BUT you will love waking up at any point in the night and being able to see the clock, and I can tell you the thing that still gets me after 5 years are the leaves on a tree. When I had glasses and contacts (they were obviously not the right prescription) I had no idea that you were supposed to be able to see each individual leaf!!!! Every once in a while you'll look at something and remember what it used to look like and then you'll be sold once again on how great LASIK really is!!!!<br /><br />This is all... glad I found you again!!!Lexihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02169881653961642604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1301052227457633543.post-49827799114728949462013-01-22T16:57:18.609-05:002013-01-22T16:57:18.609-05:00Wow!
