for the ppl that had lasik done, how well can you see now, and how bad were your eyes before. Ive heard ppl say that they had 20/200 vision and after they had 15/20 vision, but then again i always hear the doctors say that your likelihood of getting perfect vision again is unlikely.

 

I was ~20/70 in one eye, 20/80 in the other, and corrected to 20/20 w/ glasses. 20/15 after LASIK, better than I ever tested w/ or w/o correction previously!

I say forget the naysayers, it's well-proven technology by now, and I don't know a single person who's had it done that regrets it (even the one or two who had to go back for "fine tuning").

 

Yea Ive even talked to doctors and they have all said the same thing. My doctor is even planning on having the procedure. thx for the reply

 

I've ridden with glasses and a helmet and had no problem, fortunately for me, if it gets too bad, I can take the glasses off, my vision isn't bad enough to where I have to wear glasses. But I think a good fitting helmet definately keeps the glasses from moving around too much.

 

I just had Lasik done last Friday, the Weather has been too nasty to ride my bike but I love it so far.

BTW, I'm nearly 40 and have had to deal with glasses and/or contacts for 30 years. They are a Pain in the A**!

The first thing I can say just driving a car is the much improved peripheral vision. I'll report my results soon after a spirited ride on the VFR. Looking forward to it!

 

Nearly 2 weeks since Lasik so here is an Update:

It's worth every penny.
