I've worn glasses since I was 8 years old and Don for the last 10 years so when friends of ours had lasik eye surgery and were thrilled with the results, we decided to give it a go!
So we went along to see the surgeon our friends had attended and asked loads of questions - we were given free consultations to see if we could actually go ahead and have the surgery.
Don was the lucky one - he was fine to have it done. Poor old me couldn't though - my cornea's were too thin!!! I ask you - with a body like mine and I have THIN corneas!!!
Don was very nervous - he's always had a fear of things around or in his eyes - he cannot wear contact lenses!
I went with him and was astonished how quick it was and how well he was afterwards - he was told before he had the surgery to take along a pair of non-prescription sun glasses - and he wore these on the journey home.
He was given eye shades to wear in bed - so he wouldn't rub his eyes while asleep and he had to put drops in his eyes three times a day for a week - to combat any infection. He was fine!
No problems at all.
He now only has to wear reading glasses for fine print and the computer.
Believe me if someone as nervous as Don - who doesn't 'do' pain at all, could have lasik eye surgery - anyone can! Oh just to add - during the operation he didn't feel a thing - he just saw a moving red/green light.

Course I'm as sick as a parrot because I'm still in glasses and lenses - while he struts around without specs!!
