get it. i got lasik done like 4 weeks and couldnt be more happy. eyes are 20/10 now. the 1st day after they were 20/30 but that was right after the surgery... i went to updegraff spent an extra buck for better care of my eyes... and i would pass on going oversea's to get my eyes worked on, ya they know what they are doing because they've done x amount of surgerys blahblahblah i could careless it's my eyes and i want the best doctor around the US which happens to be updegraff... they dont use the typical razor blade cutting there, they use laser to cut the eye flap then the laser to reshape the eye so it's quicker healing time and more comfortable... i didnt feel shit, they gave me a valume(sp?) and numb the eyes, only thing you feel is a little bit of pressure then 30seconds for each eye and you are done...
the only downfall which isn't really much is the after care. gotta do 1set of drops every hour the following day and a second set of drops every 4 hours... after the 1st day then just the 2 sets of drops 4 times daily... at night before you go to sleep you have to put artificial tear cream in your eyes for a week. then after a week you just have to put artificial tear drops in your eyes for around 3months until the nerve endings are all healed up... im actually going to the beach this weekend and cant wait to actually throw my skimboard down onto the water and be able to see even though some water jumped up into my eyes!!!!
lasik is seriously the best thing i've ever invested my money into.
