Nick H. Supervisor Posted July 18 Supervisor Share Posted July 18 Congrats! I know that you were able to see the world before, and also LASIK takes some time to take effect - I think it's 2 weeks? I could be talking rubbish on that, I'm not an optometrist... But how do you feel so far?

Dick Montage Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 I cannot imagine wearing glasses - not in a bad way, just - yet another thing I have to always remember. I'm glad that now you have one less thing to do, and hopefully your vision is maybe better?

Have thought about Lasik many times, but never pulled the trigger. Know a few people that have gotten it and had fantastic results. Hope your results are fantastic also!!

But how do you feel so far? I was better than 20/20 the day after; i think when it had originally come out it did take some time.

darkrats Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 I wore glasses from age 6 to 39, then contacts until 71. That's when I developed cataracts in both eyes. Had surgery to replace the lenses. Now I have 20/20 vision for the first time in my life. By the way, the surgery takes about 15 minutes, Done without being put to sleep. One eye done and then the other a couple of weeks later.
