Yesterday was the one year marker to my Lasik surgery.  I can’t believe it’s already been a year, but that’s a whole different story.  I can’t imagine what life would be like having to still put in my contacts every day.  I remember it took about 2 months to get to the point where I wouldn’t have to think about not worrying to take them out at night.  After that point, I felt like my eyes were back to normal and it’s been nice to not have to worry about all that stuff.

So, one year later, not even a spec of an issue, I would highly recommend getting the procedure done for anyone who is thinking about it.  I opted for the Custom Lasik, and recommend that over traditional lasik if you can spare a few hundred bucks.  Though there is no way to really tell if it’s any better, I actually can “see better than I could with glasses or contacts”.

I still remember the day of the surgery.  The surgery itself took about 6 minutes.  There was no pain.  It was almost uneventful, which I guess is good when you are talking about eye surgery.  I tried to keep my eyes closed on the way home (yes, Kari was driving!), but remember opening my eyes a few times and being able to read the street signs.  Things were hazy for a day or two, but objects were definitely clear.  Over the next few months, the focus just kept dialing in.

So, if you’ve ever thought about doing it – now is the time!  Best money I’ve ever spent (on medical bills).
