Wow guys, i gotta say, aside from having to keep eyedrops in my eyes CONSTANTLY. I am EXTREMELY impressed with the surgery results.

Imagine my joy, when I woke up this morning and opened up the curtains in my hotel room, and (after putting on sunglasses of course) I was able to read the LICENSE PLATE on a truck ACROSS THE INTERSECTION (roughly 50 feet away...maybe a little more) Honestly, I almost cried. 20 years...TWENTY YEARS I have depended on glasses for my sight. Not anymore. I walked into that Hospital on Thursday with 20/400 vision in one eye, and 20/600 in the other. That means that, at its worst, my vision was so bad that at 20 feet away, a road sign looked like it was 600 feet away for a person with normal vision.



OH! Best part of this, was I donated all of my glasses (and I had alot) frames/lenses to be reused/recycled for people in need.

Is this the new surgery? Do they still slice your eye open?

Good news, I'm glad everything went well. And here you go again refilling your karma bank with donating glasses/frames.

No, Mine was done entirely by laser, except for the forceips needed to take a piece of embedded metal out of my eyeball! ohmy.gif surgeon said it had been there for awhile!

Not in good concience...i didnt pay anything for them...beides, who buys used eyeglasses?
Rocco B.
People who can't afford new ones....isn't that kind of why you gave them away?
jcrome04
I believe they get donated at no charge to people that need them.

possibly to 3rd world countries and such.
Rocco B.
I would hope/believe so...
