More and more people are electing to undergo laser eye surgery to correct their vision these days, whether with LASIK or LASEK procedures. While your doctor can best answer any procedural questions you have it's rare they'll tell you that having a sleep mask, laying out your clothes for the following day, and putting your favorite take-out's phone number on speed dial will greatly help your comfort level after your laser eye surgery.

This Thanksgiving weekend marked the two-year anniversary of my Lasik surgery. Interestingly enough, I received an e-mail from a friend whose friend was asking about Lasik. His e-mail accounted for the basics - cost, procedure and recovery time, various risks, etc. But what he really wanted to know was what to expect before, during and after procedure that the docs don't cover in the initial meeting.
