I had Lasik done 11 years ago. My far vision has deteriorated enough that I've decided to have a Lasik Enhancement done.
Today, I went back to the same doctor that did my procedure years ago. He wants me to wear contacts for a week. The first three days he wants me to wear both, the next three days he wants me to wear one in my predominant eye only. Like many other people I've spoken to, only correcting one eye sounds like it will drive me nuts. He told me not to make a decision yet though. He said 60% of people really like it, but it won't work at all for 40% of people.
He said he's done it for quite a few airline pilots and they like it because they don't have to have readers to see the instruments. He did say at night, some of them wear glasses to correct the uncorrected eye, but not all of them.
My question is, have any of you had this done and if so, how do you like it? I'm not thinking I'll like it, but I agreed to give it a shot.
