This letter is submitted for the Ophthalmic Devices Panel Meeting regarding LASIK surgery.
Without a doubt, having LASIK surgery has changed my life! I had worn contacts and glasses for 25 years and had chronic eye infections, not to mention a tremendous negative impact on my quality of life. I could not jog, swim, or bike ride and dealt with low self esteem issues. In fact, when my daughter was born via C-section, I could not even see her when they held her up for the first time until someone brought me my glasses.
I am a stay at home mom with two kids and we are always on the go! I did not have time or energy to deal with doctor appointments and chronic infections. The regimen of antibiotic and steroid drops was also frightening for long term use. After a very successful LASIK surgery and extremely short recovery time, I am a new person! I wake up very happy and ready to take care of my kids. I have joined a gym and ride bikes with my children. We are going on a vacation and I will get to swim with the dolphins this year! This is an experience that I could never have shared with my family before.
I also just "feel" great. I can wear make-up any time I want to. Before I would always hide behind dark glasses, and now I don't have to do that. The positive impact affects every area of my life! My only regret is that I did not do this much sooner!
Thank you
