I thought we had a Lasik thread but I couldn't find it. May have been Lasik discussion in other eyesight/glasses threads.
I'm going to get Lasik this year, but have a potential travel logistics issue. I'm a single guy with no current SO. The Lasik procedure would take place about an hour away from home (Omaha), but I work in Omaha. Nearest family members are also an hour away from Omaha. I know you cannot drive right after Lasik, so here are my thoughts/options. I've been reading there is a next day follow-up visit needed also.
-Get a hotel room for a couple days near where the procedure would take place. Hotel discounts available through work. Can you use the Uber app shortly after Lasik? Is it safe to be alone immediately after? Not sure if the Lasik place will help with travel arrangements. (calling a cab, etc.)
-Have a coworker/friend take me to and from the Lasik location. I would still probably want to stay in a hotel if it is safe. They wouldn't have a problem doing it, but I hate to be a burden on them especially if they would need to drive me to the follow up visit.
-Have a family member drive me to Omaha. The most likely candidate that has the time would be my mom. She could take me directly home (an hour away), but then there is still the follow up visit issue. She wouldn't have a problem driving me back to that but again, I don't like being a burden.
Ideally I would want to schedule the procedure for a Thursday or Friday.
Any thoughts from those that have had the procedure done, or others?
