Thread: Lasik Blended Vision and Hunting

@WillB

I had mine done in '06, 6 weeks prior to a trip to riding M/cycles in Tuscany.
In 11 years, I've never once regretted doing it.
Oh - I had both eyes focal length set just beyond arm's length.
Had used the mixed (short for reading, long for driving, shooting, etc), contact lens for several years.
At -4.5 in both eyes, plus slight astigmatism in the master, right, eye, they were great during the day, but were clearly different at night - driving usually.
After a day in, I usually got headaches by 9.30-10pm and had to take them out and use glasses.
I use reading glasses for close work/reading/computer/iPad/ smartphone - cheapies made in China work fine.
The left eye gives me problems as the laser stopped to recharge longer than usual, so the anaesthetic wore off before it was finished.
As I was in a hurry, never went back to get it sorted. The smell is bit like burnt roast.
Left eye isn't perfect, but I scrape through the driver's license eye test fine and don't need to wear glasses any more while driving.
Use the contacts as a guide (like I did), and then make your decision.
