Words are inadequate

I have had glasses since 5th grade. Got rid of them a few years ago. I wore contacts for a while, in high school. I had the leave them in kind, and that's a bad idea for a careless teenagers. If you leave them in for too long, they don't glue to your eyes, but they do develop protien deposits that scratch your cornea, and the oxygen thing causes your eyeball to grow blood vessles where they should't be. Not Good. But the good thing is, your eyes heal really fast. Contacts were not allowed for a week, but not comfortable for much longer. I never got the contact habit back.

My father got RK back in about 1986. He had good results, but wears reading glasses sometimes now. At his age, that's no big deal. My vision became stable while I was in college. My best glasses were still my best glasses after ten years. So I looked into the laser and the results were fantastic. I have only found eye charts that go to 20/15 and I can read that line with either eye, and my vision is better with both. I had some halos at night for the first few months, but that went away.
