28 days since surgery and my vision is 20/15 and somehow will only get better... just had a follow-up appointment

I meant to ask how it was going, that's great to hear!

Very cool. I may need to look into this.

still doing good ! I am supposed to go for my next exam end of FeB/beginning of march

I had mine done as well about 13 years ago. Same issues. I need sunglasses, night vision is not as crisp, but I'm still 20/20 vision. I go every year for a vision check.

When you say not as crisp, does that mean blurry like you would want prescription glasses?

Bringing this back. I had my analysis today and I'm scheduled for Lasik next Thursday. I'm nervous and excited at the same time, but paying over $500 per year for eyeglasses and sunglasses doesn't make sense when my insurance covers about 25% of the procedure.

Anyone else done it lately? Recommendations? Regrets?

i just had my 6 month checkup and im still 20/15 perfectly healed... however , i have a retina issue i need to have checked out (completely unrelated to the PRK) looking back at my records i had it for quite a while but they changed slightly

Good luck with that retina issue. Hope it's not serious.

This is on my to-do list. Glasses/contacts are not that expensive for me, but it's still a PITA

LASIK has been a great experience for me as well I have better than 20/20 and I no longer have old man squints or astigmatism. I went half my life of owning glasses and not wearing them.

went out on my jetski sunday (first time since the PRK in the fall) and it was amazing, a- didnt need to wear goggles (to stop contacts from getting damaged) b- regardless when i stopped my contacts would be stuck to my eyes and irritated. c- could see perfect the whole time. so worth it.

Great to hear! I have run into situations where wearing glasses is frustrated (including under a helmet) but I'm not sure I'm ready for lasik yet.

Sidenote: I don't know how you don't wear glasses/goggles. Between the wind and sea spray I couldn't go without eyewear on my ski!

Strongly considering this, my vision isn't that bad but constantly buying contacts is a pain and i hate wearing glasses. I surprisingly have very good night vision though and would hate to have that affected.

Any issues with night vision how some of the others have mentioned?

i do still, i have the sea-doo goggles but i have to wear them much less... like in the ocean jumping waves i will but messing around by f-cove or flat water where im not gonna get splashed , i can take them off or if i forget and get splashed in the eye my contact wont go MIA...

the 2 final deciding factors for me were a- working, its 90-100 out im sweating ballz and my glasses are covered in smeared sweat and

b- we go out jet skiing last season, out of belmar marina, in the no wake zone i somehow get splashed and it either falls out or goes to the back of my eye... we ride the ocean all the way to treasure island ( manasquan river) and after about 3 hours all of a sudden my contact decides to re surface in my eye and i can see the rest of the ride lol... was like F this !

night vision is fine, no glare no halos no double vision, live in the suburbs so its dark at night, have very dark tint and windshield tint can see perfectly fine.

night vision went back to normal/better than before roughly 3 weeks after the surgery (I avoided it before that anyway)

if anything im more sun sensitive (but i have light eyes and was always really sun sensitive hence the dark tint) i also take a medication that possibly makes my eyes more sun sensitive but not sure if its related at all
