      He was taught to aim at the front sight-post, not the target, as most civilians are, so perfect vision is not nearly as important as one might think.

    Good luck Mere(I say that and obviously this happened like a week ago).
    I got lasik about 6 years ago and it's really not bad. They're messing with your eyeballs so there's obviously anxiety, but once they give you the numbing eyedrops you just don't feel anything. It doesn't hurt, but it's definitely a weird experience. Afterwards all you gotta do is not rub your eyes for a while and let them heal, and just follow their recovery instructions and don't strain your eyes for a week or so.
    Perfect chance to catch up on a bunch of audio books.
    The worst part for me was when they cut the flap to let the laser do it's thing. I was terrified that if I moved my eye(even though they had a thing holding it still) that it would mess up the cut and screw up my vision, so I picked a spot on the ceiling and stared at it like my life depended on it. Well, like my vision depended on it anyway.

      Big, or little, animal at the vet surgery, or Demolitia kids going through rough times..
      We need 3 kinds of official, Bunker Branding, 'Mere Bears'.
      Some that are like Malamutes, some boxers, like Dozer..
      And some like Remi..
      With cute little collars that advertise your Vet clinic..
      Like all the stickers that seem to have appeared around the mansion lately..
      If you don't overprice them..($US prices are nearly doubled, for most of us poor souls elsewhere!) They will sell like HOTCAKES!
      And, Uh..maybe not just to kids & cute fluffy animals in a Vet's Clinic either..
      Just sayin..
      Edit: Maybe Mere can even personally sign & special ouchie-kiss a few (hundred), like Matt did with the skif knives..even if she just signs 'Mere' on one of the paws, or on their clinic collar tag..
      She could even do it from the comfort of a couch at home..or ask/bribe your 3 kids to help with the kissing & signing a hundred each, also..
      Can you kids say "Sell Like Hotcakes"!?

      A Veterinarian has way more education than most medical doctors as their patients are multiple species. A veterinarian’s patients can’t communicate as well as humans can with their Doctor. Many veterinarians have multiple specialties, not just one like most MD’s. Veterinarians have studied just as hard as an MD to become highly qualified surgeons as an ophthalmologist, neurologist, oncologist, plastic surgeon, nephrologist, orthopedist, dermatologist, etc, but with multiple species.

    Mere, I had this procedure done 9 years ago and can completely relate. My wife was worried about me because I was crying when we left the facility but it was literally because I was able to see without glasses or contacts. I went from 20/900 that morning to 20/15 that night. When people ask me about it, I say it is the closest thing to a miracle that's happened to me. It's a strange procedure but 100% worth it.

    I have been thinking about getting my eyes corrected as well but thought that it was way different immediately after. Relieving to see that Mere was not in a bunch of pain and that she was immediately happy about the decision! Definitely going to take a look at places near me (we are halfway between Waco and Ft Worth) to see who has the best reviews. Thanks Mere for taking the leap and thanks Matt for taking us along. My family and I enjoy the daily vlog type videos you do. Also, you always say you don’t like showing the “boring” stuff on the abandoned mansion but I think most of us do enjoy seeing the small stuff. You and your family are a joy to watch and your attitudes and positive disposition really reminds me that I need to keep my negativity in check. Thank you for the smiles, laughs, and encouragement to be better! Ain’t nothing to it but to do it!!!

He slept for a few hours, and was still uncomfortable that evening, but he was good the next day. I have HORRIBLE vision, and he said his gift to me when I graduate college will be lasik. Which I am excited for.

    I was able to be at the doctors office when a friends wife had Lasik done. We got to watch several patients get the procedure before my friends wife was up so we were kind of used to it by the time it was her turn. Cutting the flap was unnerving enough to watch but what really got peoples attention was when we could see smoke wafting off the patients eye while the laser was doing its work. She had similar results as Mere after the procedure. That was over 25 years ago and she's wearing glasses again but the prescription isn't as strong as it used to be.

    How exciting! I had the old style radial keratotomy done, in the hospital, back in the 80's. They did one eye at a time, with at least a month in between back then (in case something went wrong). My vision before was so bad I couldn't see the big E on the eye chart. After the surgery, they sat me up and asked if I could see the clock on the wall across the room. I said not only that, but I can see the second hand ticking! They all clapped and cheered...and I cried too! It was quite a change, going from having to put my contacts in to find my glasses, to having 20/15 vision. Some time in my 50's though, I had to start using readers (yeah, the surgery doesn't correct for the changes that come with age). Still, I can walk around and see pretty well, so no complaints here. Congrats Mere!
