Laser Eye Surgery tomorrow!

Back in Jan 1987, when I was seven, I found out that I needed to wear glasses. Since that time my eyesight has become weaker and is currently something like -7 to -8.5, depending on the eye, with an Astigmatism in both eye. Back in 2002 I went along for a free consultation for laser correction surgery with Ultralase and was told, at the time, that I if i had the surgery I would still need glasses all the time so I decided to wait and let the technology catch up. Fast Forward to June 2009 and I returned to UltraLase to see if the technology had advanced enough, which it certainly seemed to according to articles on the Internet. I was told that "yes" I could now have the surgery and that I would require the LASIK with Wavefront, so I booked in for surgery in August which was the first available time for the surgeon which they recommended. Well that's now tomorrow, so this could well be the last article I write when I need glasses :). Though I am a little concerned that something could go wrong, I'm looking forward to be being able to see without glasses again and the difference it will make to all the little things such as getting up in the middle of the night for some water, dropping the soap and knowing where it is, being able to look over a bridge without feeling liek your glasses will fall off and, of course, not having a "edge" to clear vision.

Wish me luck!
