Just wanted to put this out there for anyone considering getting LASIK during medical school. I was relatively worried since my surgery fell midweek of classes so I thought I'd put my experiences out into the universe.
MS2 (we started back up two weeks ago), had LASIK Wednesday morning, back in class Thursday afternoon. Many people are at 100% visual acuity the day after surgery but I had a high amount of myopia and an even greater amount of astigmatism (I was supposed to get PRK until the last minute) so my vision was in the 20/40-20/25 range at 1 day post-op, improving daily with expected stabilization in the next week or two.
Feel free to ask any questions!
