Glad to hear the Lasik went well. I too have been thinking of having done for several years. I can't wear contacts and running with glasses/prescription sunglasses is really a nuisance.
Did your surgeon recommend you take time off from running? I've read that the concern is sweat will get into your eyes.
It's good to hear some positive feedback on the procedure.
Yeah they said try not to get sweat in the eyes because they don't want you to rub your eyes. One piece of paper said don't do exercise for 3 days but I asked both the doctor and another guy in there and they both said I could run the next day as long as I don't rub my eyes. One said to wear a headband to keep the sweat out, I tried and couldn't wear it. I just have been wearing a shirt (normally I don't this time of year) so I have something to wipe the sweat from my forehead. I don't know how you get by wearing just glasses. I had the contacts, but for the 2 weeks before getting the surgery I wasn't allowed to wear them (just glasses) and I hated it. Hope that helps and let me know if you have any other questions.
