[VFB] Was fishing this am. Now Lasik- threading the eye of a hook
My problem is the opposite. I can, only without my glasses, thread a #28 Tiemco with a 7x tippet without any problem, tie the knot, dress the fly, etc. Then I put my glasses back on, and cast, and everything small still disappears, including anything size 18 or smaller. I've got perfect up-close macro-vision- I have to tie my size 32 Mustads naked eye, but can do that without a problem. But I can hardly recognize the person sitting across from me (at a show) without putting my glasses back on, which are now lineless tri-focals. I'm thinking of getting Lasik surgery, but this TN surgery has postponed that thought for a while. I realize i will lose macro-vision, but it should be worth it to throw my glasses away. I found out that shooting pool with trifocals is near impossible. I talked with Dave Whitlock last year at the Denver Furimski show, and he's had the L-surgery. He's in his 80's, but says he's got 20/20 vision again, first time since his teens. Anyone else had the Lasik surgery? Do you like the results? Has it helped both long-range and close up vision? Is it nice to wear decent sunglasses again?

I could not belerve she was already finished. Heading back to the van I made another cast and hooked up with a Largmouth. That made five Bass, two break offs and one miss. Not bad for about an hour fishing. Arkansas Tony -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.

Re: [VFB] update on me too
Well, I got back from the surgeon awhile ago (two weeks early), and I'm free and clear- all done! 3.5 weeks from brain surgery to all healed up. Time to go do whatever I want. And the rivers and lakes are blown out- LOL. Lots of rain recently, and they're predicting more. That's OK. This doctor and his hospital (his as in owner) have restored my faith in professional medicine. Thanks to Pete Gramp for turning me on to him. Won't waste too many words- have said it all before. Whoo-hoo! DonO PS The doc said he met Veronica while he was in there.

Took me about 4 weeks before I even felt the urge to try tying. I finally did my dozen flies for a swap, but had to make them really simple ones because I just couldn't concentrate or sit still at my bench for long. Who knows, while tying under the inbfluence you may come up with a real doozy of a fly. Rodger -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.

Re: [VFB] Was fishing this am. Now Lasik- threading the eye of a hook
The trouble with Lasik is that it is NOT permanent. This is because your eyes will continue to get more far sighted, presbyopic as you get older, so the Lasik will only last for about 4-6 years and then it will no longer be so effective. We are currently doing a neat operation for people whose eyes are so out of focus but knowing the eyes will change, and being either so myopic or presbyopic that contacts are not a good option, in which the lens is actually put inside the eye, rather like one does with a cataract surgery intraocular lens, but without removing any of the eye, as is done when there is a cataract. So far it is in a rather experimental stage, but the ones we have done have been very successful. Perhaps you will want consider waiting a bit before you have Lasik and see if this might be an option for you. You get rid of the glasses and can change out the implanted lens as your eye changes. One of the complications of Lasik, though it has improved, is an increase in glare at night and seeing haloes. Some people don't have much problem with this, others get much increased glare and distortion. Of the three people I know who are good friends, who have had Lasik, they all loved the Lasik at first, but all three are now wearing glasses due to the natural changes in the eye from growing older. Whatever you do, be sure to check out the pros and cons. Joyce -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.
