At my final follow-up examination today the doctor pronounced me a success and said that long-term all I needed to do was have an annual eye exam to make sure my vision was continuing to be stable.
A brief vision test was conducted and I am happy to report that combined my vision remains 20/20. My [...]

At my follow-up exam yesterday the eye doctor measured my vision at twenty-twenty. That’s with both eyes working together. The near eye is at twenty-thirty by itself, and is working perfectly for up close reading of the computer or books.
Other than some slight dryness in the right eye, he was pleased with my progress. He [...]

The follow-up procedure I had to correct the vision setting in my right eye on Friday continues to be a success. As I learned the first time through the recovery process it will take a some time for the new focal range of the eye to settle and become permanent. Most of yesterday I was [...]
The initial assessment of my vision “enhancement” is that it was successful. I am type this at arm’s length without aid of glasses. Ha! I just need to survive the week of wearing protective eye gear at night, and not getting anything in my eye, and then then wait out the month or so for [...]

Several weeks ago I had a followup visit with the optometrist at LasikPlus and he cleared me for the enhancement to my right eye any time I wanted after June 23rd. Since I’ll be unable to drive myself home I needed to coordinate a ride prior to setting the date, so rather than schedule it [...]

Yesterday I had another follow-up visit with the doctor at LasikPlus. What I find so fascinating about this experience is the surge in declarative statements after the fact. Things that I felt should have been clearly stated prior to my procedure are only just now being said to me.
1. You were far sighted before. Nearsighted [...]

At my follow-up eye exam today I learned why I’ve been having so much trouble seeing. And I also learned that my instincts that something wasn’t right were dead on accurate. My right eye, the near one, healed far stronger than expected. Instead of measuring 150 it measures as a 3. Basically I have a [...]

It has been just over four weeks since I had LASIK surgery to my eyes. The changes, while immediately apparent, are still not what I had hoped for. When the literature says your vision may not stabilize for six months they really aren’t kidding.
Halos
The halos around lights at night have diminished to a tolerable level. [...]

Last evening I took a short stroll around my apartment complex, mostly to burn off some nervous energy. At some point during my walk I glanced up at the night sky and discovered that the stars no longer have full-circle halos around them. Instead there is more of a crescent shaped halo.
In fact covering first [...]
Now that I have eyes that see at two non-intersecting focal lengths I’ve discovered a neat (if strange) visual trick. Those of you without mono-vision will just have to image the effect. For the rest of you here’s how to see your very own 3D images without the colored paper glasses.
1. Put your hand in [...]
