tuning up my vision, actually... although cataract may be in my future as well. No worries, Ami...the tech and track records are amazing now.
I had my eyes done over a dozen years ago. As I've aged, my vision has changed again and I have gone back to being nearsighted, although nothing like the extreme I was at before my first surgery.
The fact that I am going back should tell you how pleased I have been with the results.
Thank you, Ami and EL for the thoughts... I'm not scared and only have the sligtest bit of nervousness. I just want it to be done. They can't do LASIK because of the chance of complications, so they are doing PRK. It is more accurate, but it also means they have to burn through the lens, so I will have a few days recovery were I won't be seeing so much...
Good luck with the surgery. At least I've heard good things about PRK [its the procedure the Navy uses] and that it'll last about 10 years.
Cataracts, eh thats a pretty simple surgery from what I hear [was/am at risk for them in the right eye from my prior surgery] so at least you can take comfort in that.
