Happy Friday!!! I am so glad that the weekend is here… I’m sure you are too! I was running around today with back-to-back meetings and when i was out I really felt like I was melting so to speak… It is HOT out!!!
What are your plans for this summer? Any family vacations planned or weekend get-aways on the horizon? Sometimes they get planned but the hardest part is having them come to fruition. 
I have no doubt though that lasik should be part of your summer plans! If you work full-time like I do you can just take one day (like a friday off) and you’ll be back to work and up to par by Monday! Seriously though, you’ll be able to do things the day after. Lasik really does have that fast of a recovery time. So, if you’re worried about vacation or personal days, lasik is something that you will be able to work into your schedule. And as far as my experience is concerned, the doctors at Mann Eye worked around my schedule and were very accommodating. They wanted this to be a great experience as I went through with this life-changing this- lasik!!! It’s great and you should really look into it if you have not yet…
Have a great weekend and all the best!
Sheryl,
It is great that you had such a quick vision recovery after your Lasik, however not everyone will have the same experience.
I work for a nonprofit Lasik patient advocacy. We do not provide Lasik, just Lasik information and we certify Lasik doctors.
For some, Lasik is more like a six month process than a 20-Minute Miracle. Although many, like you, have almost instant results with no adverse events, it is relatively common for patients to have some fluctuation in vision, dry eyes, and other small, but noticable, adverse events during the early Lasik healing stages.
Also, not everyone has eyes like yours. Your friends would not expect to see well if they were to put in your contact lenses. Neither should they have the same expectation of result as you have achieved. Everyone is unique. Only after a comprehensive evaluation from a competent doctor can someone get a good idea what can be expected.
Your experience is obviously the most someone can hope for and you are a living example that Lasik can be quick, painless, and successful, but others may need more caution.
