... I was freaked out by laser eye surgery because I had to keep my eye open. They just had me stare at a dot. The surgeons numbed my eye. I keep staring at a dot. Felt like a finger moving across my eye. After they are done with the work the surgeon kind of pats down my eye to put it all back in place. The surgeons take the stuff away from my face and I can now see without my contacts or glasses!

Actually I have them in both eyes, but my eye doc said that they aren't bad enough yet to warrant surgery. I wonder if RA does have an increase in them.
