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).
