I have not had Lasik done, I know several people who have, some have halos and weird night vision, others are fine. In the spring of 2009 I had to have cataract surgery and interocular implants. I let it go as long as I could until I was dangerous to drive and could barely do my job. I was never adjudicated “legally blind” but it was very close. Losing your vision is a life-altering thing and I honestly don’t know if I would continue on if I lost it all. Might just have a gun-cleaning accident. The cataract surgery went perfectly. I have 20/20 distance vision, and use readers for close up. That’s no big deal, before the surgery I was wearing rigid gas-permeable contact lenses and readers, so I’m ahead of that game.
The point I make is that after losing a significant portion of my sight, then regaining it literally overnight, for me (everyone else is different) I would not risk losing even .01% of the vision I have for the sake of the “convenience” of not wearing glasses or contacts. I protect my eyes at all costs now and I would do anything to keep the vision that I have. I wish everyone the best of luck in whatever they chose.
