Default Re: Gonna Do the LASIK thang' - HELP ME GOD

It's actually a fairly quick and easy operation. It's just quite bizarre when you have your eye clamped open, and you are looking at things coming right at you! Kinda freaky! Carol even watched on a CCTV from the next room, and saw it all happen close-up and in detail.

One of the "side-effects" is that you still get caught up in your habits for the first while. It took me close to 6 months to stop reaching for my glasses when I first woke up. 25 years of doing that every day does take a while to defeat. You also still reach up to adjust your glasses, and at first, have a little shock when you don't feel anything there. Habits do die hard....

It's been 7 or 8 years for me, and I really would recommend it. Especially to the younger ones in this group. There is a real sense of freedom that comes with not being chained to corrective lenses.
