i've posted this in full detail on gaf before but for now this will do.
had prk done at the gimbel eye center in edmonton on Oct. 12, 2008. my eyes were perfect candidates for either surgery.... long story short worst decision of my life. i can see better than 20/20 but the quality of my vision is horrible. i suffer from glare, halos, starburts, ghosting, horrible dry eyes, floaters and more. the surgery has destroyed my life. im going back to talk to the surgeon about a touch up to try and fix things at the end of the month but with my current dry eyes and pain im not sure if it's even worth it.
you need to keep in mind that there are side effects you cant avoid at all. your eyes will come out dryer, you will lose some contrast(colors look slightly washed out, harder to pick out details in low light), HOA will increase and your super close up fine vision will be slightly fuzzy.
i did not cheap out on my surgery, gimbel here is one of the best in canada. the marketing behind laser eye surgery is misleading and wrong. theres a reason why some of the surgeons during the FDA trials are trying to band the surgery now.
according to recent findings you only have about a 65% chance of ending up getting vision that doesnt suffer from any visual quality problems. why would you risk great vision just for the option of not using glasses anymore. if you can see well with glasses or contacts getting laser eye surgery is a dumb move.
EDIT: if anyone asks questions i'll try to answer them late tonight after work.
, but nintendo fixed it for free
