BoxerLvr User ID: 885750 Puerto Rico 02/23/2013 10:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I had it done about 2 years ago at LasikPlus Vision Center. Best decision I've ever made. My night vision is fine. I was worried about that because I have a telescope and like to view the night sky. Immediately after the procedure, my vision was cloudy, but by the time I got home it had cleared up and I could see great! The only 'problem' I have is dry eyes, so I occasionally have to use eye drops. ps. Don't let the burning smell scare you. They forgot to mention that part to me....lol. After they cut the flap they burn away (reshape) your cornea with the laser. Don't worry, you don't feel a thing. It is painless. Last Edited by BoxerLvr on 02/24/2013 01:32 AM It is precisely because it is fashionable for Americans to know no science, even though they may be well educated otherwise, that they so easily fall prey to nonsense. They thus become part of the armies of the night, the purveyors of nitwittery, the retailers of intellectual junk food, the feeders on mental cardboard, for their ignorance keeps them from distinguishing nectar from sewage. — Isaac Asimov |

(which means a years supply could last 3 years) The night problem is a REAL problem. I know two airline pilots that HAD to retire early because of Lasik gone bad wrt the night vision issue ... plus about 3 other people who have the night vision problem after Lasik really bad. Good luck on your decision |
