Any of you had lasik? How did it affect you out in the field and in life in general? I am on the fence went in for my pre-op today. I would love to hear your experience and opinions.
Exact same here.....I got Lasik almost 7 years ago and it is the best money I’ve ever spent. Better than any gun, optics, or vacation that I have purchased. If it is done well, it will be an absolute life changer. Do it!
Same... but 9 years agoExact same here.....
If you don't mind me asking how old are you now?20 yrs still happy with it.
When I was in the Army 2000-2004 I had the opportunity to get laser eye corrective surgery. I politely declined. I don't mind wearing glasses, extra eye protection for my eyeballs.20 years ago I was a test subject for USN. They wanted to see if eye surgery (in this case PRK) would/would not pose any problems (during G force loading) for a group of pilots and SEALs. Out of the hundred or so participants, the worst thing that happened was one pilot saw no improvement in his vision after one year. Yea, I know PRK is not the same thing as lasik. Still, some dude, or dudette, is operating on the only set of eyes you will have.
My vision is still 20/15 in both eyes. I would do it all over again.
Did you do monovision or distance?i had lasik 4 years ago, best thing i ever did. As a bowhunter i hated to compensate with glasses. Or fogged up glasses, or not being able to see when I didn't have them. I did lasik and i had better than 20/20 vision the same day of surgery. would do recommend it to anyone
Great perspective LB. Not to take from the thread, but my father’s hearing has gone way DOWN hill since he hit 70., it hurts his every day communication and everyone else.. he thinks “ he “is less of of a man if he needs hearing aids..Suggestion’s?I think the hard part about this kind of decision is, it works for MOST people. The question is, are you the one that it doesn't work for?
Messing with eyes is scary stuff. I have had great eyes, until 50 when I started to need reading glasses. And after going to Hoopes and experimenting with one contact to correct the close vision problem, I opted out.
My brother had it done and he ended up having a bad experience. He eventually had to go back to glasses and he is one who would tell you not to do it.
I don't want to muddy the water for anyone, but just go into it with both eyes wide open. You may or may not be that guy!
Get him to Costco get him some hearing aids. Not that expensive and he won’t regret it. I know I don’t.Great perspective LB.

I have 20/15 vision and it's insane.I did the Mono vision maybe 10 years ago after my eyes started going bad, I wanted to be able to spot game with no glasses, it worked, sort of, they missed the mark a bit and my right eye is only 20/30, so good enough for everyday driving etc, but not good enough for long distances spotting to be clear, so I still wear prescription sunglasses all the time, and have learned to wear a lease or I scratch or lose them as soon as I get them! If it would have gone right I would say it was well worth it. My current Eye Doc said what I was really wanting is 20/15 maybe that is true?
Insane, good, or Insane bad? I have been wondering if I can get my right eye redone?I have 20/15 vision and it's insane.
Insane good, it took a little getting used to, and I still can tell that my left eye is better than my already great (20) right eye. But it's not a big problem.Insane, good, or Insane bad? I have been wondering if I can get my right eye redone?
