Laser Eye Surgery

I’ve been getting more and more interested in the idea of laser eye surgery. I was dating a nurse a few months ago who’d had it done, and she had the most amazing vision in anyone I’d ever met. We’d be driving along, and while I was struggling to read the street names on the signs coming up, she’d be calling off names from signs two or three blocks down with no problem. She was like a poster child for laser eye surgery. Even though we only dated a few weeks, the one lasting impression she made on me was that laser eye surgery can really work.

The idea of laser eye surgery is a little scary, isn’t it? I mean, someone shooting lasers into your eyes that do god only knows what is not an image that evokes a sense of security and comfort. When I think of the words laser eye surgery I can’t help but think of some kind of Star Wars scene or sci-fi movie. My nurse friend assured me that it’s really quite painless and not as bad as it sounds, however, so I can’t help but wonder about the potential in laser eye surgery.

I don’t have especially horrible vision, but its just bad enough where it’s a good idea for me to wear glasses if I’m going to a movie, lecture, or driving at night. I’m not required to wear glasses while I drive but I really ought to. As a person not accustomed to wearing glasses and completely disinterested in contacts, I’m thinking laser eye surgery might be a good alternative.

Lately I’ve noticed a lot of commercials on television promoting laser eye surgery as well. The kind of laser eye surgery they mention most often is called ‘lasik’ eye surgery. I’m still hazy on all the details, but apparently lasik eye surgery is just one type of laser eye surgery that has become especially popular in recent years.

Just doing some simple research online, it looks like laser eye surgery can indeed be a very promising for of treatment for nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. Since I have both astigmatism and am nearsighted, I think I’m going to gather the courage and go in for some laser eye surgery soon. However, if I see anyone that even remotely resembles Darth Vader or one of his cloned storm troopers, I’m going the get the heck out of there, that much is certain.
