Ive always feared the possibility that a Cholo running from the cops in his 63 lmpala lowrider would crash into the power pole outside the lasik center, causing a power surge at the exact moment the lazer makes its first cut in my eye, burning a hole through my skull What a relief, for a while there I was concerned that maybe you were a bit paranoid.

Take the price tags of the lenses and then have another go.

Also fyi , its that " it doesnt matter because someone else paid for it " additude thats partially responsible for the health care mess Luvgov, I didn't say someone else paid for it. I said insurance paid for it. I pay the insurance premium, so I paid with the premiums I paid in the past and into the future. This isn't really a difficult concept to understand.

33 here. Got them a few months ago. My buddies actually pointed it out that I needed them. Dove & Duck numbers weren't what they used to be and I couldn't account for the sharp drop. The first few days it was funny then it lasted the whole season and they were on me to hit up the eye dr. Also had some night-driving issues, the same as you mentioned that I just sucked up and dealt with. They aren't strong prescriptions but it took a good week for my eyes to adjust to them. It was trippy and definitely made it worse before it got better. Fogging up with a face-shield on now is my only problem. Rifle scopes weren't an issue but I did re-verify all my scopes at the range with them on and had to adjust about 80% of the reticles.

The fogging up part is already annoying me. Also I can see my own eye balls in the reflection of the lenses. I did mention to the Dr. that I got into a fist fight ten years ago and broke my orbit bone in my face that holds my eye in position. Maybe that's why he gave me glasses that make me seem shorter and lower to the ground than I really am. It may keep me from running my mouth to people who could whoop me, as my size-o-meter is calibrated on the small side. I believe quitting drinking and staying out of saloons helps alleviate most of my opportunity for broken bones. Actually, I believe it would take a helmet with a really tight chin strap.

Joking aside. I used to wear glasses and without them I could not make out the letters on the keyboard, let alone read whats on the screen. So around 8 years ago I had lasik surgery and have never looked back ( pun intended ) To date I have 20 / 20 vision in the daytime and have a little green and blue shift around dusk. Makes blue lights look like stars. Anyway if someone tells you that you are to old for LASIK don't listen to them. having used bifocals riding a motorbike is not fun when the wind starts to buffet the helmet and the glasses start shifting. I suppose that is not a concern to Harley pushers as they never repack that speed....... but on a windy day in the wrong direction it might happen. Anyway i reccomend LASIK instead of those frames any day of the week. By the way it smells like fried meat when they do that, so eat before you go in or you will start to drool.

The guy is going blind and you guys are relentless.
I got glasses about 8 years ago, redid them once and have had the last pair for 4 years. I don't have to have them to drive, and they are bifocals, but, if I wear them, I can see the detail in distance better. I have astigmatism in both eyes,

Dude he is far from going blind ...... he will see a lot better when he adjusts his position a little. ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2019/01/full-4076-433663-49729340_10215074103104125_5006589290424041472_n.jpg) He will figure it out, just needs a little time
