I'm a little late here, but I hope everything went well! I think you'll be very happy.

Wow - your eyes were even worse than mine! I don't remember what my prescription was. -9 or 9.5 or something. I had Lasik several years ago - the best thing I ever did! I wore glasses from the first grade until I was 36 or so. No more glasses bouncing on my nose when running or skiing, no more excruciating pain when a piece of dust gets under my contact, no more swimming blind (Mom & Dad wouldn't let me swim with my contacts - hence, 2 broken pairs of glasses in high school from leaving them on the starting block during practice) .... I am sooo happy! You will be too. The PRK sounds more involved, but still, 3-5 days will seem like nothing, once its over.

Congratulations!
