i hear it's awesome. i'm nearsighted and i hate wearing my glasses. just wondering if anyone here had the operation done. it's supposed to be quick and painless with instant results. it also costs about $2,500.

QUOTE (mikez @ Mar 4 2005, 12:50 PM) I had some degradation as my eyes decided to go far sighted after the proceedure....had to go for a tune up. One eye is set for distance the other for reading.... My boss had it done, and he also had one set for reading and one for distance. After a short while, he was not able to adjust to the differences in each eye, so he went back in, against their suggestion not to, to have them try to correct that. Now he can barely see! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) He has to cup his hand over his eye (like a telescope.....I call it pirate-eye) and close his other eye just to be able to read Anything! He also keeps his right eye closed all the time because his vision is now so bad in it that it gives him headaches. He cannot read any print unless it is very large, therefore, he cant see his cell phone, book text, handwriting, ect. without magnifying it. Its really an inconvience for the secretary....me! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) .........well, im sure for him too. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) **oh, just a little side not, he never took care of himself or did the procedures or drops that he was told to after either surgery.**

That's probably because the dumass did his wrong eye....I'm a converted lefty, Catholic school ya know....I'm "left eyed" meaning my dominant eye is my close in one.....the right eye is along for the ride...depth perception and long distance....

Monocular vision has it's minor drawbacks but works for me....I couldn't see dick with glasses and contacts were not tolerable anymore....I was close to shooting myself with reading glasses....
