A new vision <OT>

[Fenton Murray]

A friend of mine about 50 just had lasik and was rendered legally blind, about 2 months now, I'm not sure if it has improved at all. It happens.

  My son and daughter in law have had lasik surgery, and love it. His boss, unfortunately, had a very bad experiment, and has never been able to see right. But that was 15 years ago. I am sure they've perfected the surgery.

  As far as what to do with your glasses. the Lions Club used to take used glasses and give them to those who can't afford new ones. I don't know if they still do that, however, but it might be worth looking into. Other wise, maybe you can paint them black, and stand on a street corner with a tin cup.

  Well I finally decided to do it.  After 20 years of wearing glasses I'm getting LASIK surgery on my eyes.  Yesterday I went in for the complete pre-op exam and today at 11:00 I have the actual procedure.  They tell me that the time in the chair is 10 minutes total but the actual physical work is only about one minute per eye.  Pretty amazing stuff.  It's all done with what they call a "cool laser".  They completely numb your eyes with some drops and you don't feel a thing.  About six hours of blurry vision, and by the next day you see better then you ever actually did with the glasses.

  Well, I'll let you know how it all comes out.  In the meantime I'm trying to think of a ceremonial way to dispose of the glasses.  Maybe I'll drop a piano on them.  I've already repaired them multiple times with CA glue.
