Hello all!
I posted a few weeks ago about LASIK back here:
http://windsorpeak.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=451067&highlight=lasik
and wanted to follow up that it is done and is AMAZING!! It really feels like a miracle. I was 20/15 the next day and I was able to see things that I never was able to see before even with contacts.
You were all awesome with your support and suggestions so thank you. A couple things I would suggest/recommend based on your suggestions:
1) I ended up getting multiple evaluations and had decided that if even one doctor thought it was not a good idea- I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't have thought of that without your suggestion so thank you. I went with the place that I felt had the most thorough evaluation and was happy with them.
2) I should have picked up my medicines and eye drops before surgery. I sent DH after but you have to use 2 types of drops 4 times a day and other drops every 30 min to an hour. It was hard to keep up with and would have been easier if we picked them up early.
3) Take the valium.
4) Apparently the lubricant drops need to be used for a full month- so get the big box.
I am very excited for my upcoming Hawaii trip with DH for our 10 year anniversary with no glasses and no swimming with contacts. It's truly amazing. I did have 3 days of night halos and a couple times where I had an hour or two of itching and dryness but that is resolved now. I'm glad I did it so thanks for the encouragement. Please let me know if I can answer any questions or help any of you.
THANK YOU!!
Stacy
