I had LASEK surgery, as my eyes were not suitable for LASIK. On reflection I am pleased that I went through this proceedure rather than the more invasive option, even though it is reported to be more painful afterwards. Despite the pain I managed to cope without resorting to the anaesthetic eye drops. Now and then, three weeks after surgery, I think my vision is better than it was before with my -3 glasses on. I am very much hoping that things will stabilise like this - in which case I will firmly say that this is one of the best things I have ever done!
