Eyes-just some questions

[short cut sally]

CC, can't help you at all but just let you know that my sister had the Lasik surgery done. She would fumble for her glasses when she woke in order just to make it out of bed. She had to wear some special correcting glasses for like a month after surgery and she had it done about a year or so ago. She only has to wear glasses when she does close up stuff at work. She recommends this to all. I also wear glasses and am a CHICKEN when it comes to doing something electively. I could spend that money on a bike, get some great accessories and a new biking wardrobe for what the surgery costs. (we all have our priorities don't we?) I wear contacts when I do biking or x-c ski so that makes it easier for me.

I wore glasses for years, and had worn contacts for a long time until I got into my forties, and needed bifocals.I had LASIK surgery a year ago in April, spent $5000 to have top-of-the line surgery, and did not have good results. Afterwards, any middle distance vision I had before was destroyed, and the 20/20 long distance vision lasted less than a year. I spent months waiting for my prescription to stabilize, and now wear trifocals. It was a waste of time and money, and my BIL had to have cataract surgery less than 1 year after his LASIK disaster.

I would advise anyone considering it to do a LOT of research, and realize that it is a huge profit maker for these surgeons.
