as you mentioned, they slice one eye for distance, and the other for fine print.

I was told by one doctor some tolerate this dual vision repair well, and for others the result is intolerable. I don't recall the ratios off hand.

I've been considering taking care of the distance part with Lasik, and keeping glasses for reading only. Not sure if they do that though.


I guess it's going on 12 years since I had it done. In my early 40s I started having trouble reading and distance was just a blur. My options were bifocals/two pair of glasses or lasik. While swimming in our community pool I grabbed the wrong woman due to my poor eyesight. Not sure if the wife ever believed me but it was time to do something. All I gotta say is WOW. The proceedure is hardly 2 minutes. The valium they gave to calm you helped a great deal. Probably the worst to me is the burning smell. Walked next door and I was 40/20. Came back the next day I was 20/20. It was awesome. Yes I have reading glasses sitting around here and there and a folding pair on the bike but no big deal as opposed having them with you at all times. The first thing I did when I woke was reach for those glasses, in fact for nearly 6 months after lasik I reached for them almost every morning.
I probably need minor correction since I know they aren't what they used to be but I am no where near having to get glasses again. I would highly recommend it and would not hesitate to do it again.
