Gonna Do the LASIK thang' - HELP ME GOD

Hmm. I'm 45 too. If they said your eyes were "old" then, I'm in trouble. Then again, you had the earlier version like Sabby had. Difficult to tell. Appreciate the info, Danny. As you said about swimming, would love to be able to do that and see everything. Especially a shark heading my way. hehe

Like Kacy did... lol I think the boob reference confused you, LOL.

I havent had my eyes done yet. I always wear contact lenses, I rarely wear my glasses.

I think having all my teeth capped was the best thing I did so far.

I have a perfect bright movie star smile now. I think I get more compliments on that than my boobs actually.

The hair extentions are really great as well, although thats not a "medical" procedure.

I've found my dream job, less messy than being a gyno - but I'd still get to see the sweet spot

Welp, the eye tests including an MRI test of the eye lasted about 2 hours at the institute. The cost for me is 6K due to the nearsightness, astigmatism, and myopia. My vision was 5/400 which means what a normal vison person can see at 400 feet, I cannot see unless I am 5 feet from it.

Hence, the high cost for correction.

Nevertheless, I am doing it on Aug 17th!

Your input was very soothing, and there are risks and weird things the first day or so that happen [starbursts etc.]....

They give you valium for the 10 min procedure, and then send you home with a sleeping pill because they want you to sleep 4-6 hours right afterwards and ya wear eye shields while sleeping for 4 days.

I mean having got to hug my Peaches, and she is so freaking adorable and gorgeous, I decided I had to ditch the glasses :-))

It was either do the LASIK thing or go to Plastics and get a laser resurfacing done and some minor face work....what a decision too have to choose between.

It really bothers me that I am 48 nearly 49....and I just refuse to let anyone clock my age...LOL....

I will let you all know what the LASIK is like, the 2nd day because the first day they say your looking thru vaseline once they finish...

I am getting the "monvision" done where one eye is for distance and one eye is for reading, and I have a chance I will not need any glasses afterwards.

They give you a LASIK life time warranty for adjustments, and it takes 3-6 months for the vision to settle down into what it is....some days you see better than others and flip flops around for several months.

Some friends had the radial keratotomy 10 years ago, and are in readers now but they have scars and can never have the high def laser LASIK now.

The biggest difference now is the cornea flap heals and no Doc can tell you had LASIK cuz there are no scars now :-) Old days they did flap manually, and now laser makes it perfect but they are still happy as hell with result.

They said LASIK will not give you 20/20 necessarily, it will give you the result corrective lenses gave you.

I am legally blind without my glasses, and what a shock that was to hear that yesterday..

LOL..welp, if you wait long enough [age gracefully], they will fall out and save you alot of money! *wink*

All kidding a side, I am smooth, and would not want it any other way!

Forest and Doug from Zmaster and all the folks attending Internext...

Everyone looked great, and Doug I would love to see those pics!

I dunno, how many more shows I will go to, but I am so glad I went to this one and let the Mrs. play with the webmasters.....LOL....she had a blast!

She thinks this business rocks, and really got an education in Lauderadale...LOL.

Are you hoping it is? - or that it isn't?
