Hey Tallbill,
When you get ready to do it, they'll explain why lasik is bad. Go for LASEK (EK) or PRK, depending on your eyes. Much less chance of an eye injury later. I'm airborne with hopes for SF, so LASIK is a no go for me. I'll explain more if you want but right now I can't look at the screen for too long at a time. |

What did they use on your eyes? the microkeratone? I had my eyes done two weeks ago monday. Not the slightest bit of burning or discomfot. I guess it's different for everyone.

I aint takin pain killers today. I'm tired of drooling on my comforter. It's not so bad today.
I had EK, which is when they grind the surface of the eye off after soaking it with alcohol. then the do the laser thing gor 40 seconds or so. Lasik wont do for people who jump and SF wont take people who've had the lasik. I'm Airborne with plans for SF in the future.
The army pays for it. combat arms has priority. |

If you had it today, you should not be messing with a computer. That's the first thing my doc told me after Don't Scratch!

I had PRK a few years ago up at Bethesda. The 3-4 days immediately following it were among the most miserable experiences I've ever had...and I've had some shitty ones. Thank God for Percoset! I'm impressed you could stand to look at the computer screen the same day, as it was all I could do to wonder across the street from the clinic back into the BEQ and into bed. I tried watching TV and using the computer, but both gave me a raging headache.

Trust me I'm still not doing it for very long, but in those first few days I only took my shades off to shower in the dark. |
