Lasik

[Hunter II]

For the guys who have had this done before, I am having my consultation this afternoon and if I am a candidate they can do the surgery on Wednesday. Would you do this 2 days before your rut-cation? Do you think I will be able to see well enough to hunt by Friday?

How long is your vacation? Recoup depends on who’s doing the surgery....

I have been considering getting this done myself, I'm blind as a bat without contacts or glasses. From what my sister tells me, just the day of and the next morning,she was a little blurry. Beyond that, she said she was fine.

I am off all of next week. I am going through the Lasik Vision Institute.

Will you be able to see by Friday? Yes you will. You will be able to see pretty dang good by Wednesday night.

I would be very leery to try and hunt Friday though. Reason being is two fold. First being your eyes are going to be sensitive to light for a while. Different people are effected differently but I know for me I wore dark glasses for a week whenever I was outside.
2nd reason. You cannot rub your eyes for 7-10 days after the procedure to get the lens time to heal. I wouldn't want to chance it being in the woods for a week straight.

I highly recommend the procedure. I had it done over 10 years ago.

I had both eyes done back in 2000 and would highly suggest it to anyone. You'll be seeing great within 24-48 hours. I'd be wary of doing too much stomping through the woods until fully healed, but if you do, wear some eye protection going to and from your stand. Talk to the surgeon also.

Wear eye protection and don't lift more than 20# for a couple weeks.

Thanks guys for the feedback. I just finished my consultation and scheduled the procedure for Wednesday morning. The doctor said I should be able to hunt Friday no problem.

 

[Buckmaster]

Let us know how your rebirthed eyesight is.

I had the procedure on Wednesday. At the followup the next morning my vision was 20/15 almost 20/10. After the followup I drove 3 hours to my hunting property. The next morning I shot a deer I should have passed. I am blaming my new eyesight for causing me to misjudge him. LOL

The vision upgrade has been incredible.

Isn’t that Jenny’s #?

That’s what I hear

I don't know what the numbers were before surgery but my distance contact was -3.50. I was using monovision contacts but I had both eyes corrected for distance so I am married to readers now. At 50 they are like a required fashion accessory anyways.

Thanks for the friggin earworm...
