Fog - I had Lasik 5-6 years ago and I'm glad I did. But when I had it done correcting for near-sightedness left you far-sighted (can't see up close) so I just had one eye done. Now I can see far away and up close without glasses.

From the commercials I've heard lately, I think they're saying they can do the Lasik and you can see close and far. But I would certainly check first if I were you. Also - my intermediate vision sucks, so for things like the computer or shopping (reading labels), I still need glasses.

I still wear glasses a lot of the time because of the intermediate vision thing. I have progressive lenses so I can focus at all distances. But even with the problems with the intermediate vision, I would have it done for the simple fact that I don't need my glasses. I can drive without them, something I would have never attempted before, I can wake up and look at the clock and tell what time it is, I can participate in water sports. The freedom you get from not needing the glasses is what is so great about it.

Hmmmm - should I tell you about the burning flesh smell or let you be surprised. LOL
PharmaCan Reviewed by PharmaCan on . Laser Eye Surgery - What do YOU think? So, basically...would you do it? Here's my only problem with it...there has not been enough long term result data to convince me I'm not going to go blind in 30 years...or 20. I know many people who have had it done, and they are overall happy...and richer due to not having to buy glasses and/or contacts. I would love to be able to fall asleep whenever I wanted, without having to worry about leaving my contacts in or squishing my glasses. Do any of you have it done? Have any of Rating: 5
