Well, yes, the nervousness is the worst part. The valium helped.

My Rx wasn't as bad as some (-3.5) but thats bad enough for the big E to be a giant blob. Since my Rx was so low it was about 30 seconds of laser time per eye. I also had lasEk which is different than lasik. Recovery time is longer but a safer procedure. I pretty much spent the whole weekend with my eyes closed. I'm 20/20 now and he said I should be 20/15 if I keep hydrated and on the meds. I sometimes think I already am 20/15 but focus too hard on the eye chart. :-)

I had the surgery so I wouldn't have to carry around all the stuff, replace lost things, etc.
