I am seriously considering the LASIKs surgery
Mike ... I considered it for a LONG time ... but, finally, just about 2 years ago, I couldn't pass up the deal. Canada has had Lasik performed for many more years than the US and I had already had several relatives rave about the Gimbal clinic in Edmonton, so I was all set for a mini vacation "back home" ... until I found out that a former partner of Gimbals had a clinic in Windsor. Checking into it, I found he had almost 20,000 surgeries to his credit, actually taught apthalmology at the University of London (Ontario) ... anfd the price couldn't be beat .... my stepson paid $2500 an eye in Dallas a few years ago ... I paid $962 for BOTH eyes in Windsor.
Had the exam on Wednesday PM, confirmation by the doc on Thursday AM (my eyes were THAT astigmatic that they wouldn't schedule without his OK), surgery at 10AM on Thursday ... went back to the hotel (next door) to nap for a few hours ... then at 4:30PM I drove us around town in a blizzard to find a restaurant. LOL
Happy? Man ... wish this had been possible years and years ago ... all those years when I couldn't wear sunglasses ... ski goggles, bike goggles, etc.
Of course, on the off-side, now I have to remember to always carry Clear riding glasses for night riding ... LOL ... as you stated sunglasses at night don't cut it. And riding, as Mike L noted, in heavy rain, means rain wacking you in the eyes. But ... would I recommend it? Hecvk, the clinic in Windsor should have me on retainer .... I've already sent them over a dozen customers .. who are all as happy as I am.
If they'll do it ... do it! (in other words, if your eyes are ok for the procedure .... go for it) :lol:
