Default Re: LASIK Vision Correction

[ QUOTE ]
I had it 6 months ago and I'm happy I did it. I went from 20/70 to 20/20 vision and eventually it will be a lot less hassle than glasses or contacts.

It wasn't completely hassle free: a normal complication is that your eyes dry out and you have to put in eyedrops every 30-60 minutes for a month or two. It took me a little longer to stop taking the drops, about 4 months. Sitting in the chair wigged me out a little, I could smell them burning my cornea away.

I had the problem of dry eyes too, but only needed the drops for about a month. I think your eyes start getting used to you putting in the drops and so they don't rewet themselves on their own. To get around that I just stopped using the drops and dealt with my eyes being dry until my eyes started functioning properly again.
