akaGQ 0 #2 December 20, 2002 I went to one of the local Lasik surgeons here in Georgia and they kinda looked at me like I was crazy...they said Im damn near leagally blind and even I didnt know this but they said mine would be correctable but itd be 2300 for my left eye which is 20/150 and my right eye would run me about 3-4,000 due to a stigmatism and my 20/300 vision.- GQ ... it was the love of the air and sky and flying, the lure of adventure, the appreciation of beauty ... -Charles Lindberg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hookitt 1 #5 December 20, 2002 QuoteAnybody gotten it, looked into it, know how much it costs? I'm getting sick of glasses and contacts, and am considering this, but don't know a damb thing about it. Do you??????????? I won't recommend it in good conscience. It's a scary prospect. I have PRETTY good vision now. Great during the day. My night isn't bad but certain lighting is pretty strange. I'm used to it so it's all normal now. Night jumps with out glasses is no trouble at all. The day time is just fine. ...(YAAYYY it's 7:00 I'm out of here)... If I were to do it over? i'd consider just keeping my glasses.My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 4 #7 December 20, 2002 Well, I don't know much about him giving discounts, but I do know several skydivers that have gone to him and had good results. He, by the way, is Dr. Joel Shugar -- infamous in 4-way -- his team? Optic Nerve.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

akaGQ 0 #9 December 20, 2002 well Dr Richard Isner is the one I went to see and its allready gonna cost an arm and a leg if not more to get my vision corrected so AI was just looking for someone that might be able to help my quote go down a bit more. Know of anyone in the Georgia area?- GQ ... it was the love of the air and sky and flying, the lure of adventure, the appreciation of beauty ... -Charles Lindberg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
