I had my eyes lasered at Ultralase 2 years ago and can honestly say it's the BEST thing I've ever done in my life. Before surgery I was -7 in both eyes. I can now see perfectly. I knew it was a risk as I was -7, but having worn glasses or contact lenses for most of my life, I decided it was worth it. I was probably the most scared I've ever been about anything, on the day. But it didn't hurt and it was all over so quickly. There aren't many days that I don't think of the benefits of having it done. No more tired, red eyes; waking up not being able to see the clock; hassle on holidays. I'd say to anyone thinking of having this done - GO FOR IT, you will NOT regret it. I'd welcome the chance to talk to anyone pre-op to give them the encouragement they need.
