I was that extremely nearsighted also, and the radial keratotomy my eye surgeon did 15 years ago gave me perfect vision.

To me, it’s a miracle. I’m still thrilled to wake up in the dark, and be able to see the time without hunting up my glasses. Goodbye contact lenses, glasses, prescription sunglasses, reading glasses, solution, etc. etc.

I’m still thrilled to wake up in the dark, and be able to see the time without hunting up my glasses.

For years-as long as I could remember (I needed thick coke bottle glasses by 3rd grade)-I would wake up in the middle of the night, raise up, squint my eyes real hard so I could barely make out the time, and then roll over and try to go back to sleep. After the surgery, I would wake up, look at the clock, and-"Oh shit! I forgot to take out my contacts!!!! Oh my God!!! I forgot-oh, yeah. Lasik." Of course, I was by then wide awake with a pounding heart, because I never EVER slept in my contacts (my aunt went temporarily blind when she accidentally slept in her hard contacts once...That's the kind of story that sticks with you) > This happened to me MULTIPLE times in the first few weeks after LASIK!

Goodbye contact lenses, glasses, prescription sunglasses, reading glasses, solution, etc. etc.

I had a celebratory Flushing of the Contact Lenses. My glasses I gave away to that charity that repairs and de scratches old glasses and sends them to the third world. Some third worlder woman got a nice set of designer glasses with magnetized sunglasses!

I used to wear my glasses while sleeping cause I was afraid if something happened during the night I wouldn’t be able to see/find my glasses!
