Lasik eye surgery contest: if you loved lasik, make a video — and maybe win a prize

Longtime readers know I got lasik eye surgery a few years ago and am glad I did.

For years, I spent hundreds of dollars every couple of years on prescription glasses (and sunglasses), so my lasik eye surgery will pay for itself eventually.

I love the little things, too: not “fogging up” when I walk into a shopping mall on a cold day. Not dreading the rain. No more ugly red marks on the bridge of my nose.

Sure, the lasik operation is creepy — you feel like Alex in A Clockwork Orange — but it only lasts a few minutes. You go home, rest up, and the next day, you’re not only back to normal — you’re better than normal.

If you had lasik eye surgery too, and want to tell other people how it changed your life for the better, now is your chance.
