re: Anyone ever do lasik?

I started using readers when I was 55+. Then I started wearing glasses and no longer needed readers, or just the 1.0's.

When I turned 66, I couldn't see at a distance. Kept getting stronger and stronger glasses. It got to where I avoided driving because I couldn't read the signs on the Interstate. If I knew where I was going, I was ok, but driving at night or trying to determine what lane I needed to be in to merge/exit became scary.

2 cataract surgeries later, I can see the leaves on trees, can read Interstate signs and menus on the wall in fast food restaurants.

Downside is that I had to bring back the readers, 2.50+. Not a problem.

Asked the doctor after the first surgery (took an hour with the eye drop prep taking most of the time) about making the next a "near vision" lens and he said that sometimes one eye will correct. One did.

My only complaint. It screwed up my golf game for a while and I have some depth perception problems.
