Minutes away from my LASIK procedure.

If I don't post about it later, it's cause I can't see anything and will be wallowing in darkness and self pity.

Go with PRK. It takes a few days to clear up after

the procedure but it does not involve cutting/lifting the cornea. Thus it is an even lower risk procedure.
Had mine done on a Wednesday, and was driving by Sunday.

You'll wish you had done it sooner. Had mine ten years

ago next month and still am good to go.
True story: on a follow up for a little fine-tuning a young fellow and his wife were waiting for his first procedure, and they were definitely backwoods' types. When he asked me if there were any side effects, I said, "No, except your tongue will be hanging out for a couple of hours."
His wife reached across, slapped his shoulder and said, "I told you to brush yer dang teeth, Fool!"
Even the attendants were rolling on the floor....lol
Good luck! (Tips: avoid fluorescent lights for a few days and get a good pair of sunglasses.)

That's good advice. I had one done in December. I had reflections from the side from lights at night. That went away after couple months. Takes a while to get used to seeing so good. Now I wish other eye was as good and it's 20/20.
