New Eyeballs in the Morning (UPDATE)

Given to...

My wife and I are having our eyes done with Lasek in the morning. Going to be rid of the glasses that have been stuck on my nose for the last 29 years!!!

Our son M is our designated driver after the procedure, and daughter H wants to go to watch the whole thing. They play it in the waiting room on high def of course. You can even get a copy on dvd for entertaining the house guests later on...

Supposed to get a little green happy pill when we get there to take the edge off, but I think I could use one now. Couldnt sleep for sh*t last night. Had crazy dreams about eye doctors and an owl. I only had a beer and a half too.

I'll report in later, maybe a day or two, to tell you how it went.

Best money I've ever spent. I've had 20/20 for over 4 years now. I was pretty much legally blind before.

Oh yeah, that was some forward thinkin' on our part. Depending on the emotion, their name can change from an affectionate term of endearment to something we should only utter under our breath. As long as it starts with M or H they know who we are talking to/about.

You'll have to tell us how it went.

Wish I could do it, but I don't have great corneas either (like the other poster).

Yes, they live on Sesame Street.



Lasek was a great move and is nothing to worry about.

Don't forget the knife to slice open your eye!


Really though, I'd rather have 10 lasiks done than one trip to the dentist. You're in and out of the room in 10 minutes and the procedure is painless and only a minute or so each eye.


I'm not saying I wasn't scared shitless, but that was a good thing as it kept me frozen with fear while they operated. lol

I'd rather have another Vascectomy than have someone come at my eyes...

Ya, the scalper procedure freaks me the fuck out. Laser only, I'd have no problem....
I'm too vain to wear glasses all the time...I'm trying to get used to contacts right now....one got stuck the other day.... I think I was trying to pull the outside layer of my fucking eyeball off instead of the lense. Not exactly a fan of contacts either.
I'm really considering lasik....don't understand why it's not covered by health plans. I've never heard of anyone having anything but positive things to say about the procedure...other than commenting that their eyes were typically drier after than before.

Find a good doctor and its practically 0%.. those 1% are mostly people who had complications. I believe no one has ever gone completely blind from it, but not everyone can have the surgury. A good doctor will scan and take a picture of the inside of your eye and do prep procedures to make sure it is safe.

The doctor I went to performed over 40,000 procedures and never had a problem.. Just make sure you buy the warranty.

I can see that as the jizz could glue your eyes shut.
