Wow, my first Fourth of July without glasses... My night time glare is almost gone and I truly enjoyed last nights fireworks show... My town has a cheesy...
since i just had lasik last week....i cant say i enjoyed the fireworks show, the mono kind of affected it.......i have to get used to it, maybe next yr will...
I am so glad I decided agaunst mono. I tried it with contacts and it did not work for me especially when driving. I like both eyes to see the same thing....
On february 2002 I had my left eye (-2.5dpt) corrected with LASEK. The right eye is still -2.0dpt. I feel very good with it and if I wanted to have my right...
... I have only the left eye corrected. When I drive, I wear glasses, and the left glass is without correction. Or I wear a contact lense in the right eye. So...
I will be interested in hearing how you are doing. I have LASIK surgery scheduled for next week, July 24th. I had 2 options... Fix both eyes for distance but...
I am scheduled for LASIK surgery next week, July 24th. I wear progressive glasses right now and need them for reading and distance. The office had me come in...
Good luck to you. I hope that you find that you are a candidate for LASIK surgery. I just decided to look into the surgery also and found that I am a good...
Hi kathy, so far i'm pretty happy with the mono i had done. my doc was thinking ahead...cause i dont need reading glasses now but might in future. I can see...
Mono works for some people but I always felt somewhat "off" when I had the 2 different contact lenses. My right eye was for distance and my left was for...
I didn't originally have mono vision done but my left eye was weaker than my right eye. As it was my dominant eye I went ahead and had an enhancement because...
I agree that 2nd day is nice to have for the follow up (and just for sanity, because who would believe your can actually go back to work so soon!).... but I...
Thank you for your responses. I plan on going back to work the next day but knowing that my eyes will still be healing. I work at a school and during the...
I had left reading and right distance in contacts, but when the surgery was done, it was the right reading and the left distance. Took longer to retrain my...
found this in one of my emails and thought the group would find it interesting: Pre-LASIK dry eye evaluation can aid management SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Knowing...
OK, dumb question. I'm almost 4 months post op, and will be flying for a job interview in a week or so. Anyone have any discomfort flying after Lasik? I...
SHouldn't be a problem...we had patients fly 2 days after surgery. I have flown quite a few times after my surgery and haven't had any problems with my eyes.....
I've always had a dry eye problem on airplanes. But since I know you'll have your drops in your pocket, I don't think you'll find it any worse than your windy...
I do drink lots of fluid already ( I live in the desert so I have the double dehydration whammy...). I'm flying into Albuquerque after next weekend. Company...
Oh my, someone remembers I carry my drops everywhere... Wow... Its been rough the last couple days though. We live downwind of the Sequoia Park fires (about...
Well, I had the LASIK eye surgery on Wednesday, 7/24 and I am very very happy today. The first to post-operative days my eyes felt like I had something in...
I just had a consultation for Lasik surgery. I have very mild nearsightedness and astygmatism. My vision is 20/30. I do wear contacts and/or glasses now. I...
In a message dated 8/2/2002 1:44:53 AM Central Daylight Time, ... If I could have tolerated my contacts, then I would not have contemplated having LASIK. I...
At 20/30, I would not take the risk. Too many people end up with 20/30 as their final reading... and even if they get 20/20 - like I did - there are other side...
I don't think I would take the risk. They seem to consider a reading of 20/40 (legal driving) to be a "successful" Lasik. At 20/30 I probably wasn't even...
I think you should get a second opinion. None of the LASIK centers I have worked for would do anyone with this mild of a vision correction. Your RX is about...
New here. My surgery is scheduled for Friday. My refraction scheduled for Tuesday. I've been wearing contacts this weekend to try and "simulate" the near...
Hi Dave, I had mine done 7/24 so it hasn't even been 2 weeks yet post- surgery. I had the mono vision done (one eye for distance and one eye for near) and so...
I didn't have monovision done, but I have trouble with close work ... like splinters or if something is in my eye. Before, in my very near-sited state, I...
This process causes the loss of "close" vision, as they pick a median distance to make the reading work best and there is a focal plane within that area. So...
