What's new

I'm back, things are great

:thumbup1::001_tt2::quickdraw:a21::a5:On the 10th I just dropped a quick note saying I would be out for a couple of days. I was having lasik eye surgery the next day. and several members wished me well and to let them know how it went. Well here I am, just over 24 hours since having it done, and things are great. I was a bit worried about the outcome as my eyes were just starting to get to the point where I'd need this procedure. I was something like 20/50, just getting by on my license renewel. Anyway the procedure was a breeze, the only thing I felt was a bit of pressure, and my next day check-up, today, my eyes were 20/25with improvements still to come. This is absolutely fantastic. I'm here at the computer without my 250 power reading glasses. Anyone who has even considered this procedure just go ahead and do it, I never realized how bad my eyes were getting. Just a word of thanks to those members who responded and wished me well. Thank you so much. I'll be back checking in whenever again, and of course with those smilies. :biggrin: :w00t: :tongue: :wink: :001_rolle :rolleyes: Gotta lover 'em.

Reagrds,

Paul
 
Hey...congrats on the surgery and glad to hear everything worked out for you...know those things can be stressors!
 
I had LASIK in December of 2006 and went from something like 20/400 and 20/420 to 20/15. I have since reverted slightly and stabilized at 20/20. It also corrected the vast majority of my astigmatism. I have a little haloing at night and eye dryness is common but I don't regret the procedure at all, in fact the farthest thing from it. I had the custom wavefront LASIK. I would advise anyone who is considering this prodcedure to go to an experienced doctor. I would advise staying away from the LASIK Plus places and such as there tend to be too many horror stories. You will pay more for a top doc but it's worth it. I used Stahl Vision in Dayton, OH. Dr. Stahl is/was one of the top 50 LASIK surgeons in the country.

I'm glad to hear your procedure went well Paul. Enjoy your newfound vision.
 
Congratulations! I'm glad everything went well for you and that you're seeing improvements already (no pun).

It's easy to take eyesight for granted, but occasionally I'll think about how much life would change if I'd lost it.

Cheers to speedy recovery and no complications.
