I had lasik done about 8 years ago. I didn't get it paid off until a year ago, but it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. Glasses and contacts were such a pain and after dealing with them my whole life, I just got tired of it. I've had no problems with it. I was up and running within a few days after the surgery. I had the interlase operation where they use lasers to cut your eye Vs. the blade. It was a strange sensation to see your vision go away. After the "cut," they asked me to walk to the other station. I couldn't see anything but bright white light. My wife was watching as they led me to the bed. I had my eyes open and tried to see where I was going but there was just nothing. She said that my eyes had no color, just white. I guess it freaked her out pretty bad. anyway, no regrets here!
