LASIK: Preliminary results are in…

I had LASIK surgery yesterday at Joffe.

Going in, I had pretty bad vision.  I always had to put my glasses on just to go get a drink of water in the kitchen, etc.  My prescription was -4.50 on the left eye and -1.75 on the right (with a major astigmatism to boot).

Yesterday at 3:00 I went in for the surgery.  They did some final checks and eye-mapping, and then it was time.   Went back, they numbed my eyes with some eye drops and then did what they do.  Cut flaps, shoot lasers for 20 seconds, then repeat on the other eye.

Went home and took a nap with goggles on….uncomfortable but no pain.  Woke up, VERY sensitive to light so I ate a quick meal and went to bed after doing my drops.  No problem.

So this morning I woke up with dry eyes.  Did my drops, hopped in the shower, etc.

And when I got out I said “holy shit….I can see”

I just went to my next-morning follow up.  I drove, without glasses or contacts for the first time in my life.

SIXTEEN HOURS after surgery….I took another eye test:

RIGHT EYE:  20/20

LEFT EYE:  20/15

Wow.  Doc says both will be 20/15 or better within a few weeks.

Absolutely amazing.

If you do ONE THING this year with $1k-$2k….do this.  Life changer.
