yikes that dood is scarah!

well I can seee!!!!!!!! My vision is fluctuating as my cornia heals, but everything seems to be doing fine. I was thrilled to death saturday morning when I woke up and could read the alarm clock across the room as it said 5:38.

Man I can't believe I have been that blind for that many years. What a miracle! I can't stare at TV or the computer for too long tho as my eyes get worn out quicker than usual. But I am taking my steriod drops and antibiotic drops as the doc prescribed as well as using teh heck out of artificial tears, since my eyeballs are dry feeling quite often.

anyway, so far so good. BTW, i didnt wear my contacts to the surgery you foos! I had to keep them out of my eyes for at least 7 days before the evaluation, because apparently they affect the surface and inner pressure of your eye enough to cause propblems with the lasik procedure.

I will keep you up to date as things continue to progress. Take care and I'll try to pop online some today and test my new eyes on some gamin! WEWT!

That's awesome news JCOM. I may not get the surgery done though. It seems like your vision was a lot worse than mine. I may just settle for a replacement set of glasses for the ones that minime decided to break

Oh man, something must be REALLY wrong with you if seeing a clock reading 5:38am made you happy!

GG with the new eyes, tho

sounds good Jcom. Im doing pretty well, just the normal fluctuations in vision. Eye feels pretty normal otherwise. Maybe a tad drier than the other but not hardly noticable.

i think maybe he died. too much good vision gave him a heart attack when he looked at the pr0n and could see it in so much better detail.
