wow I really want lazer surgery but I'm scrred!!!pixelninja said:Mornin all. I was out all day yesterday, getting tests done on my eyes in preparation for my laser eye surgery schedule for Thurs afternoon.I've never had my eyes dialated. Its quite weird. It was late afternoon when I had that done, and my eyes are still a bit dialated. I can function and reading's not a problem, but everything just looks...weird.
No riding this past weekend. I had plans to ride on Sunday, but woke up to a few inches of snow and VERY sloppy conditions. Ended up trying to rewire a bit of electrical in the house, and now instead of just one light not working in our bathroom (out of 2), both lights no longer work. I'm a freakin electrical genius.
~~Good Tuesday Morning!!~~

I'm scrred, but more excited. I haven't been able to wear contacts since around 1990, so for me its glasses or nothing and I'm getting really sick of glasses.stosh said:

Who are you having do the surgery?
Probably not if there's snow in Kingston. Have to make vehicle decision tonight.stosh said:
I'm going with a Dr. Drucker who's located in downtown Denver. I don't know anyone who's used him before, but after visiting 3 offices and talking to 6-7 other places, he was the one I chose. He's been doing eye surgery for over 12 years and he came across as the most competent, knowledgeable and nicest of all the people I talked to. The surgery is taking place at Rose Medical. The have all the latest greatest equipment, including Custom Lasik (i.e. Wavefront), which is what I'm getting.PonySoldier said:
It ain't cheap, that's for sure. Luckily we did some smart investing this past year, so when that money came in, the wife immediately set aside enough to take care of this.Stosh said:
A lot of places offer payment plans. This might be something to look into.
I'd like to do it too...haven't looked into it yet, but I cannot see two feet in front of me without contacts or glasses...and it's been that way since I was about 12. Sucks ass...I'll probably consider it later in the year.stosh said:
It all depends on the individual. Most people never regress, but a few do. But, lazer surgery does nothing for the natural aging process of the eyes. I was told over and over again that lazer surgery can do nothing for the natural far-sightedness that occures as you get older. I was told that eventually I will need reading glasses and there's nothing that can be done about it. Currently, that's simply a fact of life.stosh said:
I don't care. Currently without my glasses, anything over a foot away from my face is out of focus.

yeah a man here had it done but he uses reading glasses, but just for stuff up close. I'd still do it...I'm sure one day I'll need reading glasses anyway.
Alright darlin - ride is on. See you at 4!Snacks said:

:dancing: Tell your mom thanks!
HA! Yes! That always cracked me up.stosh said:
Don't worry Stosh. I don't think your eyes will REALLY explode after 10 years...
Question isn't whether it's snowing, it's whether there's too much snow cover to ride. I live in New Haven, Vermont.stosh said:
