Lasik Eye Doctors

[Firehaus]

I might just get my dominate eye done to improve depth perception. But my eyes aren't terrible to begin with.

I don't have any depth perception issues before or after getting it done.

Im coming up on a year since I had my surgery. 20/20 in one eye and 20/15 in the other. Reading focus is perfect and no issues with depth perception. The only issue I have are dry eyes at night on a few occasions. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

I'm about to drop some money on getting LASIK soon too. Probably call in a day or two to set up a consultation. Just have to figure out where I want to go. I've been in glasses and/or contacts since I was in 2nd grade. I'm done dealing with that stuff.

I've been thinking about it. I'm right handed, and my right eye is 20/120, which is terrible. Handgun I can just shoot with my left eye, but it means corrective lenses for rifle shooting with any kind of accuracy (the leaf sights on my AK and SKS are just terrible to use. I usually look at the front post and then settle down to bring the rear leaf up). Previously I was unable to because of a ridge right over my cornea, which means I can only get the old style. I'm not up to have my eye cut with a blade and deal with weeks of painful recovery. I've had some vision issues in that eye the past couple weeks, and I think that ridge might have shifted as a result.

This is my plan as well. Have been reading these threads lately. Do you still have to wear your glasses for a month first?

With Spivack it was 2 weeks worth of glasses. I dont even know if from my first appointment to having lasik was more than a month

Just set up a consultation with ICON for a few hours from now.

Sweet, see if they have a referral bones! I will split it with you. I had mine done by ICON a month ago.

[Irving]

They do have a referral thing, but I was going to use my cousin. It's basically a scratch card where you get between $25-$1,500 off the total. $25 says it'll be $25 off. Sounds like PRK is the better option for me. I can go as early as tomorrow morning, but I only have Mon and Tues off next week. Doc was telling me I'll be home bound for 7 days after. I already called into work and since I have stuff already scheduled for Weds and Thurs, they don't want to give me the time off.

I'm considering taking the gamble that I'll be okay to drive and use a computer by Weds. My mom has had both procedures and while PRK hurt more, she said she was still good to go the next day. What are your guys' experiences?

[Snowman78]

You work for an insurance company, I know you can get the time off if you tell them you need it for a medical procedure. I have a friend who had PPK and she needed 5 days off. I was good after 3 days but I had lasik. BTY looks like I will have to have it again at the end of June as I am still not 20/20.
