Thanks gents. It went well. I wear protective eyewear in the shop and


Thirded or whatever. Missed the "I'm going to do it" post. Been
considering it for some time. I think next year. Sick of glasses.

I had Lasek, a variation of Lasik where they push the top layer of
cells off and do the sculpting on the surface rather than splitting
the cornea and sculpting the inner layers. 20/20 in both eyes now. I
haven't seen this well since I was 11 or 12. Find somebody using
WaveFront Technology. The ophthalmologist who did my eyes said that
the really low cost Lasik places are often using lasers with old
technology. Not sure how much difference that makes.

Jerry, my BIL, had his done at some military hospital on Alameda NAS
in the SF Bay area. The doctor said "Oops." and Jerry soon found out
that it was when the doc had accidentally ripped the flap right off
the eye. Jerry suffered a lot more pain and itching from that little
mistake but it did eventually heal again.
