Going in for Lasik...

[Erica]

I know I posted about a month ago who had gotten it done, like it, disliked it ext......Lots of helpful posters and lots of happy people with just a few dissapointed. So was just going to let the posters now that I too will be getting it done.

Went back down Tues to have them check again as to if I was still a canidate and they said it should work perfect on the way my eyes are. So I went ahead and booked for an appointment and as they only do Lasiks on Thursday and Tuesday I will be going back tommorrow with my appointment the first one, so I can get it over with before college starts back on the 17th. Getting the new 'CustomeVue' Lasik done. This doctor is the states number 1 docotr and has made the Top 100 doctors for the past several years and they are well below the national avg. of the 5% that Lasik dosen't work on at only 2-2.5%.

Will let you know how it goes!

I've been wearing glasses now for ten years and absolutely hate it. I am really considering this too, but I am such a weenie.

Good luck and let us know how it went.

Having worn glasses all my life, I know how much you are looking forward to having great vision without them!!! I hope that everything goes smoothly, and you are able to see a gnat on Peanut's rump when you are finished! LOL!!!

Please keep us posted on how the surgery goes, and how improved your vision is afterwards! Everyone I have talked to afterwards, swears it is the best thing that they had ever done!

You Go Girl!!!!

Good luck with your surgery Erica!!

I am planning on having it done this year as well. I can't wait to not have to wear glasses anymore...I hate them! Been putting the surgery off, because of the cost, but soon I will have insurance, so I can finally get it done!!

I had it done in 2001. I was totally dependent on my glasses no way was I able to drive or do much of anything without wearing the glasses, shoot I couldn’t even HEAR right without my glasses on or so it seemed anyway.

I can remember going on a hike in the rain and sitting on a hill looking out over the ocean at Point Saint George lighthouse, it sits out to sea a few miles. I remember calling a friend with my cell phone just so I could tell her how good it felt to be sitting in the rain without glasses on.

Erica one thing you will probably do for a long time after having the lasik done is try to take your glasses off at night or before a shower

I did that for the longest time.

They have come a long way in lasik just in the last few years. When I had mine done it came with a lifetime free enhancement, after reading your thread I have decided to have the enhancement done this summer.

I never did get 20/20 with my lasik but it was good enough so that I could see pretty darn well. I think it was 20/30 in one eye and 20/40 in the other. One thing good about that is I still don’t need reading glasses for most things. When I do the enhancement I will need readers but anyone that has been dependent on glasses I think will agree that having to use readers is not as bad as having to wear glasses for everything.

Good Luck.
