LASIK surgery

Yesterday I had an evaluation appointment for my upcoming LASIK surgery, scheduled for next Thursday. Everything went really well at the appointment, where they evaluated the health of my eyes and took all the measurements they need to program the different types of surgical equipment. As with any surgery, there's certainly risks involved, but there's nothing about my eyes that indicate any specific issues, so I'm not too nervous. I did find out at the appointment that I would be considered legally blind without corrective lenses (worse than 20/200)... for the next few days, anyway. Even if I don't end up with 20/20 vision after the surgery (though 99% of people treated by this group/procedure do), it'll still be a VAST improvement. As long as I don't have any long-lasting complications, and I'll be all set!
