Congrats to you!! That's great!!! I'm so excited! I can't wait to do it but I'm still a little nervous. Were you nervous? Did they give you valium?

My doc said it's not really pain -- just a little discomfort. You don't walk away from the table with 20/20 vision. It takes about a week (because they did not create a flap). But I'd rather do that then have a flap created and risk complications from it down the road.

One of my co-workers had it done a little over 2 weeks ago and he has BETTER than 20/20!! Yay! lolol He has 20/10. So you do achieve the same results, it just takes a few days longer.

My boss had Lasik a few years ago and she has has had a lot of flap related complications since.
