I'll try to keep this brief since this is the boring part (about me). It took almost 10 years of prodding and successful results from dozens of friends before I finally decided to get my own eyes done. I remember my good friend Joanne singing its praises 10 years ago. I think she sent me coupon after coupon for years...I did do a consultation at one point back then, but only now decided to take the plunge.
Just a quick background on my sight. Without glasses, I practically had none. It was a big, blurry mess. My alarm clock, which is about 3 feet away from my bed, was impossible to read without squinting. Glasses (or contacts) were a necessity. My vision is pretty stabilized. I'm 33 now, but probably could have done this way at 23. I probably have 1-2 very minor changes in that 10 year span.
Also, a little background of my lifestyle...I do a lot of staring at computers. It's a hobby as well as my job. I'm also pretty active...playing tennis, basketball or volleyball. I was ok with contacts, but what a pain it was to get them on and off!
The only reason why I give this background is because I do believe the healing process will be different depending on your vision. My close friend Teresa wrote a wonderful blog about her Lasik experience almost exactly one year ago to mine. My vision was a lot worse than hers, and I'm starting to see some differences between our experiences. But if you're thinking about it, check Teresa's blog out. It gives a great overview of what to expect and helped me before my own procedure.
