I had Lasik and I think your nuts LOL. It takes a day or two for your body to recover, then your eyesight kinda comes and goes for a few days or weeks. And you need to be EXTREMELY careful not to exert or let anything rub your eye.

Hey Rock what was the condition of your eyes and how did the surgery turn out? How much improvement did you ezperience?

I don't know the RX of my eyes before, but they were pretty bad. I was nearsighted and couldn't see a clock on an office wall w/o my glasses. Now I have 20/15 vision which is very good. Surgery turned out great, I'd do it again in a second!

Check out Lake Morey Resort just south of Lake P, about 5 miles or so. Wife and I stayed there for the weekend. Room had fireplace and hot tub, very Adirondack. They have a German-style restaurant with GREAT food (and German biere of course also)

My prescription is so high, if I get LASIK, I'd only come down to a -2 or -3, I will probably get lens replacement surgery in the future.

The doc agreed with Rock. So I rescheduled the surgery LOL. Gotta have priorities you know! And the reservation was made already. I don't even know where we are staying to tell u the truth. Never been there before.

That lens replacement thing looks cool GBC.
