I had lasik two years ago in June. I love it. Haven't suffered from any of the side effects. Going into it, I thought not being able to rub my eyes for the first 30 days was going to be the hardest. It wasn't. Every time I would think about rubbing my eyes I would stop in fear of my lens ripping off. My vision was corrected 20/12. It's amazing.
I had to have a friend bring me to the surgery because you can't drive after. He got to watch the operation on a TV via a camera close up to my eye. He got through the first one and ran outside thinking he was going to throw up. He said it was the nastiest ******* thing he has ever seen.
