Anybody got LASIK?

Crash · 10-14-2009, 03:42 PM

I'm supposed to wear glasses but don't. I was prescribed glasses back in 99, but I wore them for a week and stopped because I looked like Bill Gates. Been without them ever since. But now I'm thinking about getting Lasik... I have a hard time putting anything in my eyes. Never done contacts because I can't even get eye drops in my eyes.... I squint while swimming. LOL So the idea of LASIK using a blade to slice my eyes really isn't appealing.

But what I want to know is how people's night vision is after Lasik. Any halos? I'm near sided... How's your vision while driving?

They don't use a blade anymore, the flap is also cut with a laser, I was told that this means they get a much more precise cut and also eliminates the chances of getting 'halos' when driving at night - I can vouch for that and say I did initially get them for maybe a month after the surgery, but they cleared up and my night driving is fine now.

HAHA... Had I known I was going to be in this industry before, I would have spent the extra money and picked some cool looking glasses.

LASIK is pretty much the only option for me now.
