RE: [VFB] Lasik eye surgery and flytying

[Deborah Duran]

Title: Meddelande

I sent Don my story off list…  suffice it to say my Lasik had a hang up and I had it done by a pioneer in the field.  Someone responded that they had to have theirs redone.  I deleted it before I responded….   Make sure before you have it redone that your eyes have completely healed and adjusted after the surgery.  Mine took 6 months to focus correctly.  Had they redone my surgery my vision would’ve been overcorrected.   I could drive but it was very hard to read and cross stitch.   I didn’t need to redo the surgery after that.  I’m not 20/20 but I’m very close and I was legally blind without my corrective lenses.  I was almost legally blind when I was first diagnosed as a kid in Washington.  I realized going in that eventually I would need contacts or glasses again do to natural ageing but it would be a better prescription that what I was wearing.  You have to do a back ground check on your doctor and understand that with any surgery it has it’s risks.

If you ask nicely, they will probably give you access to it... after all, I guess you are the one who invented it.   /Nick
