LASIK is a miracle. Just amazing that you can receive a 20 minute surgery, go home and rest a few hours, and wake up the next day with perfect vision.

My procedure was last Thursday at Bellevue LASIK and Cornea. I had a great experience there, I’m very happy. They regularly do the Custom Vue LASIK with Intralase (laser cutting) and this was the procedure I originally wanted but my original Old School doc didn’t find it necessary. (Which was fine.) So, I’m happy that I’m DONE and that I ended up somewhere I was comfortable and price was also relatively comparable.

I won’t go into any details. I’m on some restrictions — lots of drops, sleeping with guards taped over my eyes, no rubbing, no heavy activity. And this is the first day I’m really using the computer regularly. I’ve probably already used my eyes too much, but it’s kind of hard to know what to do with yourself all day…

It was worth the expense and time. I’m happy I finally “got it over with,” and my contacts and glasses will be a distant memory someday. Amazing! And I’m very, very grateful I will be seeing [at least] 20/20 at the Olympic events we will attend next week. Yay!!
