The place I am going is endorsed by my insurance company and after talking to a couple of the people that work there I found out that they had it done also. It is not a cheap procedure but if I never have to wear contacts or glasses again it will be worth it. Just like the freedom of the kilt, this is another kind of freedom.

I so want to get this done one day. I really don't mind the contacts, but it sure is a pain if I wake up with one of the kids and can't see or find my glasses. Let us know how the procedure goes.

I had it done almost two years ago. I now have 20/20 in one eye and 20/15 in the other so I'm rather pleased.

Just be sure to take someone with you because you won't be able to see worth a crap after the surgury. Everything wil be realy blury.

After mine we had to kill 3 or 4 hours then go back for the first post-op check. My loving other half & her mother took me to a mall (Galavan center) & walked Mr. blindasabat (with his attractive wiffle ball looking protective eye covers taped to his face) from one end to the other while they shopped.

At least she was good enough to put the drops in my eyes every half hour or so because I could'nt see well enough to hit my own eye, let alone trying to do it through the holes in the eye covers.

BTW, when you wake-up the next day you'll be amazed that you CAN SEE!
At that point I could see better than before without glasses & for the next several days it will just keep getting better. :-)

The hardest part for me was resisting the temptation to rub my eyes because I had it done in the spring when my alergies were in full swing.

Good luck to ya!
