Had Lasik surgery this morning

Thanks for the well wishes. They put plenty of numbing drops in before and during the procedure, so I didn't feel a thing. They use clamps to keep the eyelids open and a vacuum to keep the eyeball still. The whole thing from beginning to end for both eyes took about 15 minutes. I could tell a difference almost immediately. After the numbing drops wore off, it burned a bit, just like when I keep my contacts in too long. I did not get the monovision done, so I guess I may need reading glasses in the future.

I went home and slept for 2 hours (then posted on here) and then went back to sleep for another 4 hours. The difference is impressive. I did have the CustomVue with the wavefront technology. I have limited my computer and TV time today and am taking the day off from work tomorrow also.

I went with Lasik Plus because they offer free lifetime "touch-ups" if needed. I'm not sure of the incidence of that, but it seems small.
