I did it!!!
I had the surgery done on Wednesday and as I type this I am actually able to see the screen without corrective lenses (the first time since I was nine years old)!
It wasn't bad at all. Not the most pleasant experience, but worth it. The nurse gave me two Tylenol PMs beforehand so by the time the doctor saw me I was pretty woozy. That's good, though, since I didn't panic when he did the surgery.
However, I can't believe that none of the posters who have had LASIK done did not mention the BURNING EYE SMELL! That was kind of unsettling, to say the least!
