Lasik was sent from the heavens for me..

because my vision without glasses was next to a seeing eye dog- 20/400 each eye, could not see much of anything but after Lasik the eyesight is about 20/30 in both. I had that done about 5 years ago and yes I do know people who have had it and resorted back to their glasses. I was an older patient when I had the surgery and knew going into it that if I wore glasses for reading prior that I would probably need to wear afterwards, made no difference- I was not vain, just got to where I could not see the big road signs with either glasses or contacts. Even if Lasik were to fail at this point at least I have had decent vision for several years now, unlike before since a small kid.

Oh heavens! I feel sorry for you and your
state of mind. Of course I sign the cards. The only one thing I said was for the house with what my kids and I felt were the best holiday lights - we would sign it your neighbor, and explain that we loved their lights, or their reindeer or whatever. I always, always put my return address label on the envelopes. As for birthdays, these are people I know in real life - they have told me when their birthdays are! See, this is what I think is wrong with the world. There is something really sad about twisting my post into me being some stalker. I donate things anonymously - like cash to church and pet rescuers, etc. Or if there is a family in need at church and we are asked to help - I donate $$ with only the pastor knowing. That sort of thing. I hope that you can learn to be more trusting. Guess I am not so sad compared to feeling like you do. 
Oh heavens no, just the opposite
My hubs spoils me rotten and gives me more attention than I would have ever anticipated. If I bring up his name in talking, he wants to get the subject to anything except him. He is a love and a keeper.
I had Lasik, probably around 2001
and 1 of the best things I had done. My vision before was 7 inches in front of my face, got to where glasses nor contacts were getting the job done. Really glad I did have it done- I too had sorta of a problem but finally got that straightened out and vision about 20/30.
Anyone who has had LASIK eye surgery
I'm thinking about having it done. I'm nearsighted, in my 30s and have worn glasses regularly since about 24 or 25. My eyesight isn't too bad without them. I generally wear contact lenses and I'm just getting tired of the routine/expense.
So, has anyone out there had LASIK eye surgery and what was your experience? Would you do it again? I'd really appreciate it if you would share the cost of the procedure. My insurance doesn't cover it.
Up to 17" in NE PA. Thank heavens I live
further south and in the central part. No snow. All rain. Hate snow.
Lasik before, cloudy vision, really bad
I have an appt to see about the eyes this week. I have had Lasik probably about 5 or 6 years ago for being nearsighted. Was told last year I had immature cataracts and the vision place asked me to return this year. Has anyone had Lasik and had to have it tweaked soon afterwards or had Lasik only to have the cataracts set in? Thank goodness I have a few hours after waking before work because if not, am sure would not be able to see the computer screen.
I had LASIK 6 years ago when I was 42. I absolutely
love it, however have had my distance eye redone 2 times and have reached the limit on that. Having touch-ups are not uncommon, but they can only do so many. Also, I had astigmatism also, so I was told that it would not keep be out glasses or contacts forever, but 6 years later (even though the distance is starting to not be as sharp) I am still not in either. It was well worth the money for me.
Good heavens, it's been forever, but...
... let's see, I left high school typing class (gulp) 39 years ago doing 52 wpm on a big ol' MANUAL typewriter that was bigger than a breadbox....
In 1980 I had to quit my first full-time MT job (back in the typewriter days) because I developed tendinitis in my wrists. After 2 months of not typing at all, I went to a temp agency to get some work because not eating is a bad way to live. They gave me the usual typing test. On an unfamiliar typewriter, typing unfamiliar material, not having typed for 2 months, feeling like I was CRAWLING, I clocked in at 104 wpm. (No wonder I burned out my wrists.)
Now we have ergonomics, expanders, tools and toys, and I have NO idea how fast I type, although when I bother to concentrate and not goof off, I can consistently and easily go at least 200 LPH.
Expect if you Google typing speed tests, you might find something. If you have the kind of Expander that works under the OS as opposed to the platform, you can even try a speed test using your expander, at least, just for the fun of it.... :)
Email, heavens no.. he might still be into the milk jug situation
and my breasts are through with that. These are probably the most obnoxious reading posts I have read, ever on here.
Has anyone had LASIK eye surgery? If so, can you share your thoughts. Thanks
.
Google Kathy Griffin and LASIK....sm
as I read it, Kathy Griffin had LASIK and lost 30% of her vision - go Google this - you'll find it - she had been on TV speaking about a couple of years ago........
best of luck!!
Mine was 752J. Good heavens! I still remember that!???
yet can't remember names or phone numbers of my kids.
