So I finally committed to doing it.

I'm getting Lasik surgery to correct my vision.

I went for an exam and consultation last week and my surgery is scheduled for next week. I really didn't mind my contacts and glasses much, but we had leftover money in our flexible spending accounts. We gotta use it or lose it. So we better use it!

Now that the surgery date is set, I'm getting more excited about getting the surgery done.

My cornea is thin (and dry) and they think the two may be related. So they sent me home with a bunch of eye drops and hopefully that will do the trick.

On the day of my surgery (Thurs. 29th) they will examine my cornea thickness. If it is still too thin, then I will get PRK. Otherwise, I will get the traditional Lasik surgery.

Just in case you are wondering, read about PRK surgery here.

... A piece of cake. I'm not too worried about the surgery. I'm just hoping the recovery isn't too bad. Hopefully I'll be able to go back to work the following Monday.
