[QUOTE="gillettehunter, post: 1388233, member: 25760"] Lasik can be great or it can be a fickle bitch that comes back and bites you. I had my eyes done probably 15 yrs ago. No glasses for a yeaarvor so. One evening out fishing w/ my kid. As we lost light my depth perception just disappeared. Scared the crap out of me. My boy had to drive the boat back to the dock. Had me that concerned. I went back to using glasses about a year after I had mine done. My results could be said to be an improvement, but not ideal. My wife had a near catastrophe. Her eyes were done in Denver. Good for 10 yrs and then some sudden changes. Went to eye DR and got new lenses. Then a month later had to have new ones again. Eyes were changing extremely rapidly. Had to go to specialist in Denver several times and go through a specialized procedure to get them somewhat back to normal. The specialist in Denver claimed that most people should NOT have lasik done. He told us flat out that the guys doing it know far more about the risks and don't disclose it because it happens far enough down the road that they are past the risk of being sued. He was very adament about the risks. I have had several friends that have had Lasik done and have been extremely pleased. The % of people that have troubles is a good deal higher than generally disclose. Thats because the problems come in 8-15 yrs. It may be exactly what you need. Or maybe like my wife it goes South and costs another $20K to maybe get your vision to stop worsening. Just go into it with your eyes open..... Bruce [/QUOTE]
