Having worn contact lenses for years I took the plunge and had surgery. It was amazing! From the moment I sat up from the surgery I could read the clock on the wall (I think they put it there on purpose!!). Just being able to wake up in the morning and see without having to hunt down your glasses is such a relief. No more dry eyes from a long day with contacts in, no more glare from lights through your glasses. I would recommend surgery to anyone who wears glasses or contacts. It's a life changing decision and you won't regret it for one second. It made such a difference that I had it twice!!
