Since were OT already...how satisfied are you with your vision after LASIK?
My vision is like 20/400...I can't even see my toes without my contacts. (No my belly is not in the way)

I had LASIK surgery done about 4 years ago. Before the surgery my eyesight was about 20/300, nearsighted and no astigmatism. After the surgery I am now at 20/15... better than average eyesight. Mine cost about $1500 for both eyes. I highly recommend it for anyone that is eligible to receive it.
Do you have glasses? If so you probably have to wear glasses for about a month or so before they do the surgery, at least that is was my doctor told me 4 years ago.
I would definitely look into it.

Thanks, I have been thinking of looking into it around tax time. I'm 27. Is there a chance that it can revert over time? I guess I could just do some research but conversing directly with folks with experience is better.
Yea this is OT but to answer you Wash_24....
Yes it can get worse over time. The older you get the worse you eye's will be. However, it shouldn't get to the point were you need glasses again untill your in your 50's if even then or so my doctor told me. I got mine done when I was 24, am now 29 and still have 20/15 vision.
On the flip side, my Uncle who was 57 when he got his done needed glasses again when he was 65. So as you can see the younger you are the longer it will have a benefit.

Cmon Moderators... Looks like we have a double standard here when it comes allowing off-topic discussions.
Where's your message....
"OT -- Message Deleted"
If you want to learn about LASIK I think you could find plenty of other forums to do so. I bet www.lasik.com has plenty of info.

I guess off-topic discussions are permitted here if everyone is nice and polite.
The minute it's starts to heat up, out comes the "Off-Topic - Message Deleted" police.
That looks to be the way it works.
Anyone have any good ideas on treating crabgrass? I'll be very cordial throughout this discussion.
Thanks!
I like cake. 
(Just thought I'd make this thread even more ridiculous - seriously though, I don't really have a problem with the occasional off-topic discussion myself. I enjoy the surprise element. And I really do like cake. A lot. )
