LASIK M-F'n Rocks the M-F'n House!
|

So, about 60 hours ago, I was a -10 diopter guy who had to hold newsprint about an inch or so away from my face. Now, I'm sitting here with vision that is almost as good as I had with my contacts or glasses, and it's getting better by the hour.
I should've done this YEARS ago!

Oh, that's awesome...congrats.
The main thing that's holding me back is the fact that I'm kind of squeamish when it comes to my eyes...well, that and the money.
But I've heard so many good things about it, and I'm glad you're enjoying the results.

My wife did the same thing a few years ago and she said it's one of the best things that she's ever done.
At least now you'll be able to read your hydrometer!

I've been wanting lasik for awhile. 10 years ago, my friend's dad flew to Canada and back to have the surgery done for cheaper than having it done here. I haven't looked into it lately, but it would be nice to get me some lasik soon.

Had it done in '99, some of the best $ I've ever spent.

My last two glasses prescription in a row, from two different optometrists, have had mistakes that needed to be corrected. What happens when your prescription is wrong with LASIK?

You wear glasses to correct it.

You're prescription isn't "wrong" with LASIK. Nothing against optometrists, but I'm not surprised they got your correction wrong. LASIK is an extremely precise procedure that measures the curvature of your eye and corrects it, compared to an eye chart that determines what you can read at. The success rate of LASIK is extremely high - I had it 6 years ago and I'm still 20/20.

Duh, of course. You're current prescription not only becomes irrelevant, it IS irrelevant.

Had it done two years ago.
I can read a license plate a mile away.
When you turn 43 though...plan on getting some reading glasses...
