After one day I was seeing 20/15 out of one eye and around 20/25 or 20/30 out of the other. that is a huge improvement over the 20/500 or so that I was before. You can get good financing too though. I have 0% interest for 18 months so that helps quite a bit.

    As far as blurry vision goes. I can see pretty well now but it still hasn't got to that crispness, they said with how bad my eyes were that could take awhile. I have fuzziness around the edges of things, mainly glowing things in the dark. right eye had quite a bit of edema so it's still getting there. I could see well enough to drive the next day though, night vision is still a little off though.
    Ah, I don't have all those added problems, damned shame for you.

    I have two different colored eyes, so they were worried it might be cancerous for a while, because heterochromia iridium (two different colored eyes) is a genetic defect and often indicative of other problems.

    Instead, I just have poor vision. What exactly is wavefront?

    It's a new imaging device they use to better map out all of your eyes individual imperfections to basically customize your procedure for your specific eyes.

    Interesting, I'll have to check it out.

    My optometrist loves Lasik, just gotta wait till my eyes stabilize.

    And 6 months ago, 18 months no interest was an option for me. 3 months of unemployment... yeah, gonna be fun trying to settle with the credit card companies and then rebuild.

    I drive a 2006 Audi A4 Quattro, and I love the car and make monthly payments on it. I've never really paid late, so that looks good on the credit, but that's about it at the moment lol.
