Aight, after my Air Force debacle, I decided to get corrective surgery to fix my terrible vision. I've been legally blind since about the age of 11. Not like Helen Keller blind, but really freakin nearsighted blind. Anywho, if my eye mapping goes well tomorrow, I'll be getting Lasek on friday. Has anyone had this? Any problems? Let me know how well it worked for you. If it works, I could be back to serving my country in about a year!

 

Hey Travis, let me know how it goes, I'm thinking about getting it done as well, I'm tired of using contacts.

 

I was thinking about it too. An ex-coworker had it done about a month ago. He loves it. Says it is so wonderful to wake up and see without putting glasses on.

 

Tiger woods i believe had it a couple of years ago and you can see how his game has improv... o wait, thats not a good example
hmmmm... ah yes, Greg Maddux had it done also about a couple of years ago and his pitching became incred.... wait, thats not a good example either


seriously, i heard it is a wonder. i havent heard of any problems people have had with it. go for it, Travis!
and make sure to tell us how it goes, i might have it done later in the future once i get some money

 

I had it done about six years ago and love it. Price has dropped since then so that's even better for you who might get it done. No real problems. Any specific questions, just ask.

 

Well I'm not getting Lasik, I'm getting lasek. I guess my eyes stink WAY too bad to have lasik. And with lasek I guess there is pain involved for a few days. So I may have some painkillers for sale, just let me know

 

whats the difference between lasek and lasik

 

My wife got it done couple years ago and she loves it. She said the best thing is to wake up in the morning and not have to lean over and grab her glasses to see. She also said that when she was getting it done the laser they shot into her eye started out blurry and slowly got clearer. Oh, and she got a video of the procedure also.

 

my mom got it about 2 years ago and she hasnt had n e problems at all.

good luck travis

 

oh man that would be awesome. but im always afraind ill be that one n a million that goes blind

 

My mom also had the laser thing done to her eyes...

No problems, (except the whole eye falling out thing )

 

OH CRAP!!!

Well, i had the topography of my eyes done, and its a go. 4pm friday i go under the knife........errrr laser.

 

The difference between LASEK and LASIK

Just in case you were wondering...

 

I'm on the list to get it done through my naval base. I hear it takes a couple of years for them to get to you though. Good luck with yours!

 

 

thanks for the link, Paul

 

I'm off to get it done now. I wont be able to post for a day or 2, not allowed to use the computer. Somebody pick up my slack and cause some controversy.

 

hope all goes well

 

well this is the first time since ive had it done that im able to se ewell enouch to post i guess since my eyes are worse than almost all it takes loner for me to heal. still cant see out my left eye real good though. feels like theres sand in it too. im the only person under 21 other than a 19 yr old pro drag racer that has had it done by this guy, so i think thats a good omen. eh, ill see if it was worth it when im finally done healed. thanks for the well wishing!

 

hmmm maybe thats why TMS went down....
