It was exactly one week ago that I had Lasik surgery.
I went back to the doctor within 24 hours for a check. He said everything looked good.
I am still experiencing some fluctuations in my vision, which is to be expected, but for the most part, I think the healing is coming along very well.
I will go back in three weeks for another check-up.
Of course, I haven't accomplished a lot of stitching during this time.
Foolishly, I tried to go back to stitching a little too early. My eyes were too "jumpy" to count, and I paid for it with a lot of frogging the following evening!
I have managed to get a little done on the Glasgow Poster. I will post a picture later.

Laser Eye Surgery Update
On Friday I went back to the laser surgery place and underwent several hours of tests and measurements.
I have researched it as well as I can, and have decided to go ahead with it.
I have been thinking about it for years. When I first looked into it, laser surgery was not available for farsightedness, but now it has been available for several years. My thinking is, "if not now, when"?
This is not being done without a certain amount of trepidation however!
I have been assured that it a very safe procedure.
Still ... hmm! Just hope all goes well. After reading that consent form, I all but changed my mind!
Would love to hear from anyone who has been through this.

Laser Surgery for Farsightedness
I have been struggling with glasses now for well over a decade, but now things are really getting serious because it is interfering with my stitching!
I have to use high magnification reading glasses as well as my magnifier just to see, and then it is still difficult at night.
Yesterday I decided to look into the laser surgery option. I don't know whether it would be LASIK, LASEK, PKR, or what. He did rule out CK, saying the farsightedness was too pronounced.
It turns out that I am a candidate, but I gather the procedure is more complicated than the one for nearsightedness, and the results although very promising are not quite as certain.
I am convinced of the doctor's qualifications, however this still seems daunting!
Has anyone out there had any experience with laser surgery for vision correction?
