I had lasik in August of 2003, prior to that I had the coke-bottle looking glasses, going back as far as second grade ... It wasn't perfect for me, but still good, 6 years later and my vision is about 20/40 , compared to over 20/200 or worse ( I don't remember ) ... I do suffer from dry eyes now way more than before the Lasik, but that doesn't happen to everyone. My biggest complaint is that this wasn't available to me when I was in my 20s, sure would have changed my social and athletic lives for the better ! process literally takes only minutes total once you're preppped. Kind of funny, they told me to take off my glasses so they could sterilize my face around the eyes ( we don't want infections, do we ? ) using betadine, iodine, or somesuch ...and I was worried about losing track of where my glasses were because you cannot put them back on after they apply the betadine ... after the lasik procedure, they rinsed my eyes with saline and sat me up, and guess what ? I COULD SEE !!!!

It's nice to hear from others that have had it done. I'm only considering it now because I'm starting to need reading glasses some, and I don't want bifocals. I've never had any kind of surgery, so the thought of something being pointed at my eyes and I am going to be semi aware of what is going on really freaks me out. I'm a wimp, I can't watch when I give blood or have to have blood drawn for a blood test, I have to look the other direction. On Wed, Aug 5, 2009 at 11:48 AM, Steven M.

The font color in most of the office applications is way to light for me to see....it's rather annoying and a co-worker who is the same age as I am did the same thing and he's complaining about the same thing, so I don't think it's just me. Why is the font color and size setup like that Microsoft? And now with this new monitor it's even worse... I've got an appt. next week for a preliminary exam for lasik eye surgery...... ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
