CC, can't help you at all but just let you know that my sister had the Lasik surgery done. She would fumble for her glasses when she woke in order just to make it out of bed. She had to wear some special correcting glasses for like a month after surgery and she had it done about a year or so ago. She only has to wear glasses when she does close up stuff at work. She recommends this to all. I also wear glasses and am a CHICKEN when it comes to doing something electively. I could spend that money on a bike, get some great accessories and a new biking wardrobe for what the surgery costs. (we all have our priorities don't we?) I wear contacts when I do biking or x-c ski so that makes it easier for me.
