Broke my glasses last week so I'm using that to justify getting the surgery.
I'll post later tonight with clear vision I hope.

That was a weird operation for sure, my wife watched the actual surgery on my eyes through the camera from the waiting room, it said it freaked her out badly. I can see a lot clearer but I don't know if I'm 20/20 as things seem slightly blurry still. I get free update surgeries for a year though. Going to a Dr.'s appointment at 9:30 as a post-op check today.

Yeh, it'll take some time for your eyes to get well, it's still an operation, as simple as it is...

Not me. I hate wearing my glasses. But I am lucky and don't have to wear mine all the time.

I wore contacts for the longest time, but I got conjunctivitis when I was really really sick, and I haven't worn them since.
I tried wearing my contacts for a day last year, but my eyes hated them! I think I'd have to break them in again.

I used to wear contacts. but figured why do that since if mine fell out I would not know it. Cause I see fine without them.

Me? Supposively both slightly. I don't get it. I do need them to be on the computer cause my eyes get tired or reading. Other than that I never wear them. Just when I can tell my eyes are tired. Technically I think my eyeglass strength is sort of like reading glasses. Who knows.

I have 20/20 vision but it's slightly blurry due to my eyes swelling and healing. Should be clearer during my 2 weeks checkup. Mind you it's 100% better than my 20/60 was.
I was near sighted with astigmatism so also blurry
