As for the eyes being sensitive to the bright sunlight at least there are sunglasses for that. We are looking forward to seeing how the following days' progress goes and how our eyes will adjust.

I know that Kevin is really looking forward to tossing out his glasses and I am looking forward to not having to wear them for distance and hopefully for the computer as well but I will need them for reading anything closer than the computer screen. We honestly don't care about night driving because it is so rare that we drive at night anyways but just for all of our day to day activities it will be wonderful not having to worry about glasses.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-32649350580571262092020-12-27T00:52:15.486-05:002020-12-27T00:52:15.486-05:00And that is exactly what is happening with both Ke...And that is exactly what is happening with both Kevin and I, especially with Kevin. He has really noticed a big improvement in the clarity of his vision just over the day yesterday, and he is liking what he is seeing. Mine has been good as well but I won't have the same amount of change as what Kevin will get with his. I am definitely noticing that my vision for distance is clearer and sharper so that is great and I can almost read the computer without my glasses and that should improve but I will have to get readers for anything closer. Now we are looking forward to getting the other eye done on Wednesday. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-3778196406696627572020-12-27T00:34:59.064-05:002020-12-27T00:34:59.064-05:00Everything went really well, we were very happy wi...Everything went really well, we were very happy with the staff and the hospital and especially our doctor and the great care he has taken to make sure that we are comfortable and happy.<br /><br />Lol, it isn't surprising that that banner showed up. All of the ads are geared to the algorithms from pages/sites that you visit on the internet!

The only negative I had when I had LASIK and later cataract surgery was the dry eye condition I experienced for more than 1 year after the surgeries. The doctor said it was normal and eye drops mostly helped. But it still was a bit annoying. Also -- a great sensitive to bright sunlight. But the colors you see are so brilliant and being able to drive at night and NO glasses is worth it. <br />Lynn in Kingston NYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12584011137936173142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-34699055205766685232020-12-26T14:21:35.974-05:002020-12-26T14:21:35.974-05:00Ok one eyes!!

Larry had LASIK eye surgery for both eyes over 20 years ago. His eyes remain stable except “old age” eyes requiring OTC readers. Mine are great. Except a very slight astigmatism that returned to a small degree mostly from a small cloudy area that developed that the Dr is going to do a “yag” laser to which only takes five minutes or so. Otherwise no glasses. Take care & enjoy your new, improved vision!!

I still need glasses at times for stigmatism. But the colors became brilliant and I could see crystal clear. It was amazing to see detail and watch TV with clarity and read street sign and license plates! I can drive at night again.

The doctor said everything looked really good and his vision would get sharper in a day or so. it did. the 2nd eye a week later was clear from the beginning. So don't worry if things are not as sharp as you expect them to be right away.
