I had been called 'Butthead' so many times I nearly copy write sued over that show.

My eyesight stabilized several years ago. Doc says I'm a perfect candidate for Lasik but I'm not sure I want to take the chance.

I had mine back in '07.  I'm glad I did, tho now I wear a light prescription for driving at night.

That said, the Lasik procedure was the most terrifying thing I've ever gone thru.  It is truly scary as shit.
I know very little about the procedure other than what the TV ads say.

Once it is done, is it all over with? Does your vision not deteriorate after it is done, and also does it not make patients more vulnerable to macular problems with the retina leading to poor vision in the longer term? I just don't know, and wondered about this as I thought about going through this procedure. I'm just concerned if it can just make things worse in the long term?
The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. Aldous Huxley

Fifty years ago today, on 8 April 1968, I reported in at Oakland, California for deployment to Vietnam. While it doesn't seem like yesterday, it doesn't seem like it's been 50 years ago either!

I think you just won the thread.
