The way it was … The way it was explained to me is that after the surgery, you’re back at ground zero as far as eyesight goes. So it’s possible that your eyesight will get worse with age, but it would’ve done that without the surgery as well. It’s like getting a fresh start. Since my prescription has stayed the same for the past 10 years, it’s likely that I’ll see this well for quite a long time. If I suddenly need glasses at age 60, I’ll still consider LASIK a good investment.

I couldn’t even see the clock across the room or look for the keys. Anything. Now, I can see everything, but I’m having to orient myself to this new way of seeing.
Comment by blicksflicks — September 30, 2008 @ 5:27 pm
Yup, absolutely. I … Yup, absolutely. I had a bit of trouble with focusing for the first month.
The muscle memory in my eyes had been trained for years to focus one way and then my vision was altered and it had to get used to focusing differently.
Close up vision is definately affected though. I notice I can’t get things as close as I used to be able to. I have to keep things 1-2 inches away to focus on them when I was able to have objects < 1″ away before. No big deal.

Thanx. I needed … Thanx. I needed that. I’m sure you’ve seen all the LASIK horror stories on the internet. After all I’ve read, I’m glad I used the Excimer, VISX laser.

I’m going on three … I’m going on three years since my LASIK, and it’s still the best thing I’ve ever done. Still 20-20 vision, no night halos. I do remember it taking a few days for everything to completely clear up though. So no worries.
Comment by pdxsurreal — September 30, 2008 @ 5:27 pm
chaput, did you … chaput, did you have slight blurriness at first, and did it clear up? For instance, I can sit here on my Macbook Pro, and I can see and read the letters even though there is just a slight bit of fuzziness. It’s not crisp, but readable. When will this start going away? Is that normal for the first four days or so? Other than that, I see everything else perfectly.
Comment by blicksflicks — September 30, 2008 @ 5:27 pm
No, you’ll be fine. … No, you’ll be fine. I have to say..it is an experience but I am doing AOK!
The night Halo’s go away after about 3-4 weeks and I have to say that my vision is GREAT.
I have about 1 more month to go till “full healing” and the only thing i notice is a VERY slight variation in vision when looking to my left where the flap cut was made. It will prob go away though.
Comment by chaput87 — September 30, 2008 @ 5:27 pm
chaput87, so I … chaput87, so I don’t have much to worry about it? I had it done three days ago, and I am freaking out with all the horror stories on the internet. I had a certified doctor who has fellowships and everything. I did it at LASIKPlus Vision Centers in Atlanta, GA. I won’t go blind in the future will I? I think he said my diops were 6. I was pretty near sighted. Can anyone make me feel better!?

‘No Touch’™ laser … ‘No Touch’™ laser vision correction.
This technique evolved from PRK.
It also treats the surface of the cornea but unlike other techniques, requires no assistance from manual surgical instruments. It is the only technique to use exclusively the Excimer Laser from start to finish.
