Over the past couple days, I've noticed multiple ads for Lasik Eye Surgery. Random, because I have not blogged about anything regarding eyesight (and that's where the ads typically come from - things I've blogged about - hence the dating sites and halloween costumes). I can only wonder if the google ads are stalking me (maybe they're taking a cue from the Chicago Dianetics Society), because, let's be honest, I have TERRIBLE eyesight. I have the worst eyesight of anyone I've ever met.
I always meet people who comment to me on how bad THEIR eyesight is - I'll then ask them their glasses prescription and they'll say 'Oh, it's like negative four!'. UMM, mine is over negative 10!!! In order to find my glasses on an empty table without contacts in - I have to put my arm out and 'slap around'. Without my glasses, I cannot recognize people from more than three feet away, nor can I read the giant "E" at the eye doctor's office.
Maybe these google ads are trying to send me a hint. Has anyone out there had Lasik Eye Surgery? Any recommendations/warnings? Let me know your thoughts.

It's funny you brought up this topic. I've recently been seriously considering LASIK surgery, because my glasses are starting to become ineffective, and it's covered in my job's benefit package. I've never had contacts because I can't get them in my eyes (my reflex is too strong).
As far as I know, the surgery is very standard now, and seems to be safe with a very high success rate. The only prevalent, occasional side effect sees to be some broken blood vessels in the whites of your eyes, which usually clears up after several days. This is because they use (gentle) suction to immobilize your eyeball so they can work on it. That's about all I know for now. I'll keep you posted if I consider it more and get more info.
