lazer eye surgery poll
« on: Aug 30, 2006, 03:30 PM »
Who here has had their eye's fixed with laser surgery?  Are you happy with the results?  Good stories-bad stories, let me hear your experiences.  I'm seriously thinking of having it done. :-\

Not me, but my dad had it done.  He loves it.  He still needs reading glasses though.  I guess that's the result of being in the 60's.

as much as I really dont like my glasses I would never let anyone lazer off pieces of my eye    I have heard some horror stories about it     like being more blind a couple of years after having it done. I dont like new things unless its been researched through out someones lifetime becuase then they know what really happens when you get older. I cant stand the 10-20 yr studies argh

I had it done in 2001 and was told that I would be trading nearsightedness for longsightedness.   Since I didn't like driving with glasses, going to sporting events, and with all the time I spend in the woods it made since to have it done.  I do need glasses to read but I can otherwise see really good.  I can now see so much more hunting , etc.  I have had no problems and now have 20/15 vision.  Good luck on what ever you do.

Having to wear glasses for the last 40 yrs i thought about it but all it would take is 1 mistake and be blinded for life. no thanks i'd rather wear the glasses. even if you could sue for the mistake, it wont bring back the eyesight.

Did you have it done locally, or up in Canada?

was thinking of getting done myself.  Hate glasses during hunting, and am always worried about them doing down the ice hole.

Your supposed attempt at humor is not going to be found very amusing, as I'm sure your about to find out....

A friend of mine had it done 10+ years ago. No ill affects. I can't have it done due to cataracts forming in one eye. Not sure if I ever would. Have near sightedness now. Not sure if I really want to see whats really out there with good vision.
