The next couple days after the immediate recovery from PRK eye surgery were amazing and fantastic! Having only seen with the aid of glasses since the age of eight, to wake up in the morning and know where I was, what time of day it was and if my fiancé was at home or in the gym was completely and unexpectedly incredible.

After years of careful consideration, I had LASIK eye surgery in the spring of 2008. I did have a somewhat scary complication, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat. In fact, I keep trying to talk my husband into doing it, and I tell people it's the best money I've ever spent. I don't have 20/20 vision, but it's not too far off, and I love not being dependent on glasses and contacts. It's taken me a while, though, to not reach for my glasses when I first wake up!
