LASIK is very much worth it. I had it a month ago after wearing glasses for years. The season hasn't started here in northern New England but I know my vision is returning nicely.

The procedure took a very short time (less than 10 minutes for both) and I was able to walk out without help. It was gray and blurry but it's normal to happen. It's difficult to see right off because of the light sensitivity. About 8 hours after the surgery I was seeing well enough to read my monitor (larger font for bluriness) but was back driving the following day.

My eyes kept drying out and still do sometimes if it's too warm and dry inside but that's a minor issue. There's a halo effect from lights at night but that's getting better too.

I'm seeing at a distance far better than I ever was before, seeing up close is getting better every day. It takes about 6-10 weeks, it's not a real concern and not that noticible if you're not thinking about it.

Please let me know of any questions.

Alex
