I finally did it! My eyes were really bad, you know that big ol E in bold- Couldn't even see that!!

I had my surgery on the 17th- I took that day off and Friday. Thursday after the surgery I went home and rested, DH had to wake me up every 3 hours to put drops in.

I will say this, if you are thinking about getting it DO IT it is so worth it! I have worn glasses and contacts my whole life pretty much- When I was about 9 I started wearing glasses!

The procedure is pretty scary- I'm not going to lie. Just make sure you research your Dr!!

Since my eyes were so bad, and I have abnormal pupil size- I wont be able to get 20/20, it is pretty much like I have my contacts on, the Dr said as they heel my vision might get better!!

The type I had was the custom laser- PRK (PhotoRefractive Keratectomy).

In the end it was all worth it. I am not use to it yet- I still go to take my contacts out- LOL
