Gonna Do the LASIK thang' - HELP ME GOD

[Dravyk]

Danny, gotta ask since you mentioned age. How old were you when you had it done, if you don't mind telling?

[DannyCox]

Not at all. I was either 37 or 38 (or as the doctor pointed out...approaching middle age). I'm 45 now, and as I said, I am considering having it done again. At least it's a lot cheaper now!

I need to ask Carol when I had it done. I can't remember if it was before or after our last son was born, and he just turned 8.

[Dravyk]

Hmm. I'm 45 too. If they said your eyes were "old" then, I'm in trouble. Then again, you had the earlier version like Sabby had. Difficult to tell. Appreciate the info, Danny. As you said about swimming, would love to be able to do that and see everything. Especially a shark heading my way. hehe

Like Kacy did... lol I think the boob reference confused you, LOL.

I havent had my eyes done yet. I always wear contact lenses, I rarely wear my glasses.

Its on my to do list of surgeries

I think having all my teeth capped was the best thing I did so far.

I have a perfect bright movie star smile now. I think I get more compliments on that than my boobs actually.

The hair extentions are really great as well, although thats not a "medical" procedure.

I also want to get my pubes lasered one of these days too.

Think of it another way Danny... Did you have it done before the first Orlando show or after... ;-)

Hey Lee!

It was great to see you at the show...remind me to send the pics from last time we were all together...

...about the Lasik thing...A friend had it done a few years back and they told her not to read anything or use her eyes right after...being the work-a-holic sahe was she went home and read through contracts...she had headaches, and did minor damage that was corrected by wearing a patch for 3 weeks...

...so listen to the doctors when they tell you not to use your eyes too much after.

Kisses,
Shannon

Wow, Shannon! Long time! Feels like the early days around this thread!

Good to hear about the workaholic tip. I'd be one to throw myself right into things as well.

Yes, it was before the first Orlando show, so that would make it 8 years.

As for Kathy Griffin, that was a really rare case, and she had had multiple operations in a short period of time. The risks really are minimal, but like anything in life, you have to weigh those risks, and decide for yourself.

I took the chance when Lasik was in it's early stages, and now I have to decide whether or not to do it again. I probably will, mainly because of the freedom it gives me while sailing.

Other than swimming and diving, I really noticed the pleasure of no glasses when I was sailing in a tropical depression in the Windwards, off the coast of St. Vincent back in 2000. We were beating into 40 knot winds, with 20 foot swells, and all I could think of was "I can see!". Before that, I had to deal with sea spray all over my glasses.
