Off Topic: Custom Lasik Experiences
Saturday, October 23, 2004 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News
This is a little off topic but I decided to finally go in and get my eyes "lasered" with a procedure called custom LASIK. For those of you who wear glasses and contacts and have had interest in this, I'm running an on-going diary on this.
I've gone back and forth on this for years since I'm pretty squeamish about messing with my eyes so I'll be giving how things go on this.

All I will say is do your homework and research the possible down sides to getting this done. Since having to wear eyeglasses begining in the 5th grade I had seriously considered having this done. But after reading about some of the possible things that can and have gone wrong I decided against it. Some of the things that can happen, such as the star effect, cannot be undone. And I figured that would suck more than wearing glasses.

I actually smelled something burning during the operation (really). But I didn't care because the Xanax they gave me. I used to wear contacts, but they became a pain in the but. Then I wore glasses for years and looked like a Dork. And now I'm 46 and my eyesight has gotten slightly worse over the six years, but that could me my advanced age or staring at a monitor for 23 1/2 hours a day
