I had poor vision since elementary school and wore glasses, and since contact lenses were so uncomfortable I had been thinking about LASIK. After getting a discount through a coworker's acquaintance and hearing that it was affordable, I got tested and decided on Smile LASIK right away. I was extremely worried, but it did not hurt at all and the surgery seemed to take less than 10 minutes. Other than having to avoid my phone, TV, and computer for 3 to 4 days and wearing those Pororo-like glasses, everything was fine. After a few days, I could see well and clearly without glasses or contacts, which was so comfortable T_T They also kept checking my progress consistently, and even now both eyes are at 1.0. People around me said LASIK is best to do when you're as young as possible, and if you are worried about your eyesight, I really recommend it. I have no regrets!!
