Like Humu and others, I was impressed with the results of my Lasik. I could have driven home from the procedure. Waited about four weeks to dive--I had it done shortly before Christmas 2004. So far, no complications at all.

I had my Lasik last October. My doctor also said no diving for a month. The doctor used the Intralase method (one laser to cut the flap and the other to make the correction). I will be turning 50 the end of the year and have worn glasses since junior high. The first thing I did was toss the glasses, the second was to pull the corrective lenses out of my mask. I ended up with only having one eye done giving me monovision, one reading eye, one distance eye. It sounds strange, but now I am 20/20 on the distance stuff and can read the smallest print on the eye chart or prescription bottle. I have not had the halo problem at night, maybe I'm just lucky. I have dove in the pool with my wife's open water class and can not wait to see how different it is in the Keys in July.
