I know the feeling, I went through the same thing - counting myself amongst the most squeamish of patients when it comes to anything touching my eyes - I would never wear contact lens' ! However, at some point, the vision - or lack of it - becomes too much of a burden...double, triple and even quadruple vision...can't drive at night, can't see model airplanes in the sky - sometimes they are there, then they disappear.... I had to put aside my reservations and get both eyes done...

the procedure was painless...it was like looking up from the bottom of a swimming pool at a bright light, while the surgeon did what ever he did.. within 15 minutes I was walking out of the hospital under my own steam... There is a regimen of eye drops and wearing an eye patch at night, so you don't rub the eye, but that was a minor inconvenience... the results were phenomenal....I threw away my glasses, ....only need over the counter reading glasses for the smallest of print....
