Corrective eye surgery

For me this meant PRK not LASIK.

My eyes were bad. Like couldn’t see something three feet from my face bad. I’m 6 feet tall, so walking without glasses was out of the question. The first night I got up to pee and didn’t have to hunt for my glasses was magical.

Please explain.

He can't see past 3 feet. Hes 6 feet. So when he looks down he only sees down to his waist then nothing.

Ahh, I see, so the solution is that he needs to cut bone mass off his legs until he's 3 feet tall. Maybe eye surgery was the better option after all.

Huh. It seems obvious now you explain it, but I never thought about it that way (as a short sighted, average height woman). Thanks for clarifying.

I hope this is my experience as well. I'm slated for ICL surgery on Tuesday. Doc said that I qualify for the laser, but that she can get me significantly better results for my condition with the ICLs.

Kinda nervous, but excited too!
