Restoring sight to the (partially) blind!

It's that glorious time! Finally!

Tomorrow, I go to Calgary to get Corrective Eye Surgery at LASIK MD. I will finally be able to get rid of those dreadful glasses I've worn for the past decade!

There will be two things about this that will sting: the price, and my eyes (for the first several days). Running nearly three grand for the procedure to be done on both eyes, I will find myself with renewed eyesight. But this price is for Advanced Custom Wavefront LASIK, and has a number of benefits:

• Improved eyesight (of course :P)
• 50% larger corrected area (reduced chance of "halos" around light sources)
• 20-30% less corneal tissue removed
• Free retreatments for life (if my prescription starts to slip back under 20/20)
• Five years of post-op checkups
• Full refund of the procedure price if they can't correct to 20/20 or better after a retreatment

All in all, I must say that I'm really excited! I'll be sure to post updates about how the procedure went and how the healing process is going in the near future (when it's actually safe to look at a computer screen for more than 30 seconds).

Cheers,
Neil
