I want to do Lasik or another surgical correction this year. Could people that have done it 2 5 or 10 years ago share some stories? I'm wary of 100% of post operation stories being positive because of the initial excitement.

Are eye drops and fatigue something that you have to deal with the rest of your life?

I would strongly recommend LASIK vs PRK. I did both, the heal time for PRK is much rougher

Why did you have to do both and in what order? Other than the heal time, how was the effectiveness?

So what is the most recent technology that I should be asking for as of today? Is anything new coming over the horizon in the next few months?

This looks super new to Canada. Has anyone done this yet?

It's kind of a big deal for me to fly across the country to do it so I'm looking for some first hand accounts.

Where's home for you?

Also is there a reason you're looking for a cutting edge technique? The existing ones are good.

I'm in BC. I think it's a good idea to get more information on all the options since is a big expense and surgery is always risky.

Were you tired before doing the surgery or was it shortly after the surgery?
