LASIK

Since I was 14 back in 1994, I have been wearing contacts.  Put them in in the morning.  Take them out at night.  Repeat for the next 17 years.  This process was getting old.  Nevermind the fact that camping or swimming with them was a pain.  So, I decided to finally change that forever. 



Last day I will ever have to wear my glasses again.  Until my eyes get 'old' and I will have to wear reading glasses that is.



They put numbing drops in my eyes so I had to let them set in.

 

After the procedure I had to sit with my eyes closed for 20 minutes.



I seriously should have done this procedure a LONG time ago.  I wasn't that nervous going in but I shouldn't have even been a tiny bit nervous because it was much easier than anticipated.  I thought I would have a hard time not being able to blink, but I didn't even feel the need.  It was kind of a weird thought to know that he was slicing off a bit of my eye, and I could see him pulling the flap back, and could smell the laser burning my eye, but all in all it was really easy.  I didn't have any pain afterward, and just came home, slept from 11am-7pm, ate dinner and then went back to bed from 9pm-6am. Woke up this morning and could see clear as day without having to put any contacts in:)
