    It was both near and far, and due to age. Lasik cannot halt the aging process.

    Wifey had it done...the rough one too (PRK I believe) because she was actually "Legally Blind" and had astigmatism.
    It was done by Dello Russo himself.
    She got to 20/20. Fukin amazing.
    Yes, she sometimes wears readers now but after years of 40 lb frames on your fukin head, you ain't gonna bitch about it...lol

    Well Boyz, I'm baack (kinda) :D

    Everything went fine. It was a bit unnerving to smell your eyeball cooking but that didn't last very long. Not able to drive a night yet as I still get the "halo" around light sources. The entire eye drop regime is a bit of a PITA but in the long run, I think I'm better off today than I was yesterday. Eyesight is noticeably better. I was able to watch my TV and it looked almost as if I had my glasses on.
    For the next several weeks, I'll be on the eyedrop/eye vitamin/minimal UV protocol. Again, yesterday right after the surgery was the toughest as the eyes were sore but I couldn't rub them. Still can't for quite some time.

    Thanks again for all your support fellahs! You guys are the best! :)

    Cman

    PRK are for those who just dont have enough cornea to do the traditional lasik. So they insert a contact lens and then do lasik.

    I believe most athletes in contact sports with bad vision end up doing PRK, only because a ferocious smack in the face with someone who has lasik could move the flap that still takes some time to heal completely (like all the nerves reattaching itself - about 2 years)

    Keep putting those eyedrops (anti-inflam and the healing one) You will probably use a bit of the Anti-inflammatory one. I think its called Predesilone.

    The halos will stick around for a bit and man you gonna feel great soon. Keep going for those regular check ins!

    Taking a lot of getting used to Zace. Not having to wear glasses anymore is quite a change. Every now and then, I try to adjust my glasses and then I remember I'm not wearing any! :)

    Hope it all went well Cman. I really want to get this done because my eyes are atrocious. Not sure what I am out of 20/20 but I currently have -5.25 in both eyes and can't see anything without my contacts in.

    They've gotten the proceedure pretty much down pat now so if you got insurance coverage, I would at least look into it. Its quite a transition from glasses to none though. Driving is the next challenge as I haven't driven at night yet and I'm not real comfortable with my depth perception.
