Eye Surgery

I wore soft contacts for 18 years. Never had a problem putting them in or taking them out, but there were definitely irritable to my eyes. Still, they were more comfortable than glasses. For many years, I wanted Lasik, but couldn't get over the fear of "eye surgery." I, too, hate the puffer glaucoma test. 10 years ago, I put my fears aside and did it. I had to have PRK instead of Lasik because of a thin cornea. The recovery was miserable for a couple weeks, but I would do it over again because of the quality of life improvement it made for me. While my vision isn't perfect, it's very good, and it hasn't deteriorated since the surgery. I would recommend eye surgery to anyone considering it.
