RE: [APML] LASIK

Kent:

Of course, there is probably variation from individual to individual
depending on how much correction is required.  All I can attest to is my
own experieinces.  Since my eye surgery, I have had no adverse problems.
After all, it is all relative to your experiences before surgery with
glasses or contacts.

Clear skies finally in Southern California,

I had LASIK performed one year ago last September.  Life a new!  No

watering eyes from contact lenses on cold winter nights.  No glasses.

The starring effect from very bright lights at night is strong for about

the first few months an fades to a level that I no longer notice.  Again

this only pertains to bright lights at night.  As far as the night

sky...no problem.


Good luck

Bob:
What about the fact that amateur astronomer types operate in the dark a
lot, 
and that means dark adapted eyes with pupil diameters as large as
possible? 
As I understand it, with all eye corrective procedures, the outside area
of 
the lens, and hence the field of view is where problems arise.
