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 [...]

Tomorrow it will have been two weeks since I underwent LASIK eye surgery to correct my vision. My patience (never something I possess in abundance) is all but gone. I am not able to see with out squinting, or sitting 5 inches away from what I trying to do. Driving at night is surreal and [...]

Everyday for the past nine days I have started the morning my covering first one eye and then the other to see what I could see. Everyday for the past eight days when I put my hand over my left eye what I see with my right has been blurry and out of focus beyond [...]

Today marks the one week milestone in my quest for glasses-free vision. To say that my eyes have been the focus of my life the past seven days would be an understatement, and a bad pun.
Focus
The literature about LASIK surgery indicates that post-operative vision could fluctuate daily for three to six months. I’m here to [...]

Today marks the end of the third day since my eye surgery. At times I think I can see a difference, and at other times I think it is actually getting worse. By the end of the day, like now, everything is blurry. Obviously my mind and my eyes are getting tired of trying to [...]

On Thursday I had LASIK eye surgery performed on both of my eyes. while the result will be several days, if not weeks, in the making, I am pleased to say that I am already noticing differences.
Being analytical (”You think too much,” says P) I spent the days leading up to my procedure looking at [...]

Yesterday my LASIK procedure went smoothly and without any complications. The doctor said the surgery went perfectly. There are plenty of things to write about, however, I’m still in the first 24-hour period where the flap hasn’t started to really heal yet. So everything it a bit fuzzy around the edges.
With my left eye covered [...]
