00:00.240 --> 00:03.410
my eyes are kind of my livelihood if I

00:03.420 --> 00:05.420
you know go blind or something like

00:05.420 --> 00:07.309
that and obviously not gonna be a

00:07.309 --> 00:09.309
dentist and I didn't know what that

00:09.309 --> 00:11.531
meant for my Air Force career . So I've

00:11.531 --> 00:13.531
always had kind of bad eyesight and

00:13.531 --> 00:13.190
I've worked contact since I was

00:13.190 --> 00:15.412
probably in seventh or eighth grade and

00:15.412 --> 00:17.523
you know I've always heard of getting

00:17.523 --> 00:19.746
LASIK it was always something I was you

00:19.746 --> 00:21.801
know LASIK PRK kind of interested in

00:21.801 --> 00:23.857
but it was a little bit of afraid of

00:23.857 --> 00:26.190
that first luckily dental and optometry .

00:26.190 --> 00:28.357
We're real close . So I kind of popped

00:28.357 --> 00:28.240
over there and asked about it and they

00:28.240 --> 00:30.240
were really nice and set me up with

00:30.240 --> 00:32.351
just a consult . Um They talked to me

00:32.351 --> 00:34.462
about LASIK and PRK and pros and cons

00:34.462 --> 00:36.684
of both their very reassuring about the

00:36.684 --> 00:38.184
success rate and potential

00:38.184 --> 00:40.407
complications , things of that nature .

00:40.407 --> 00:43.160
Um really kind of made my mind at ease .

00:43.640 --> 00:45.807
I got there the day of the surgery the

00:45.807 --> 00:48.080
morning was pretty nervous at first but

00:48.090 --> 00:50.090
um the staff there was really great

00:50.090 --> 00:52.146
that helped kind of keep me calm and

00:52.146 --> 00:54.312
they brought me back . Um and then the

00:54.312 --> 00:56.479
whole procedure was done in probably a

00:56.479 --> 00:58.534
matter of five or 10 minutes . Um As

00:58.534 --> 01:00.757
far as recovery you know my eyes were a

01:00.757 --> 01:02.979
little bit sore for like a day or two .

01:02.979 --> 01:06.120
And um at least with LASIK um like the

01:06.120 --> 01:08.260
next day I could see almost perfectly

01:08.270 --> 01:10.670
and then every day that went past my

01:10.670 --> 01:12.837
vision to get a little bit sharper and

01:12.837 --> 01:15.059
sharper . It was just awesome waking up

01:15.059 --> 01:17.226
with perfect vision . I'm really happy

01:17.226 --> 01:19.360
with my end results and really glad I

01:19.360 --> 01:19.760
did it .
