What are your reasons for thinking about Lasik surgery now and what are your concerns?  Many people that have been nearsighted since childhood dream of the freedom of being without glasses.  Although people become accustomed to wearing glasses or contact lenses, at its core, it is never a totally natural thing to do.  I started wearing glasses in the 4^th grade and contact lenses in junior high.  By the time I was an adult, it was just a subconscious part of my daily routine.  As I grew up, my vision became worse until I couldn’t even see the alarm clock in the morning when I woke up.  It wasn’t until I personally had Lasik myself in my 30’s that I fully realized what a handicap it was.  I look back and remember all of the hassles with my inability to fully participate in simple activities that others took for granted.  When I went swimming, I would have to go without my contacts and be essentially blind, or wear glasses which hampered swimming.  Sports were always difficult because of sweat pouring onto the glasses and visual problems due to movement of the contacts.  And I remember so many times losing a contact lens and crawling around on the floor desperately trying to find it.
