True, but after my grandmother's cataract surgery, at 80-something, she has
20/15 vision near and far with no glasses of any sort.I'm not sure how that's possible, since the new lens in her eye can't be focused, but she can read the fine print on a gnat's pair of BVDs two inches away or across the room. It's sort of unsettling.
A real bass ain't got no frets, Swingman.
... and neither does it have more than four strings, but look around you.
While my fretless has a "fingerboard" (I don't need to look at it while playing), a "fretboard" does not necessarily have frets ... just think Jaco. :)
I had lasik done maybe five years ago. Originally I did it for whitewater kayaking on cold Montana rivers where glasses are really a problem, but unfortunately my kayaking days ended soon after my Lasik for unrelated reasons. I began with very bad eyes, so bad that they were not doing Lasik on them in the U.S. not too long ago. My results are mixed. I can read part of the 20/20 line and glasses will not correct me to 20/20. But most of my vision is a bit odd after the surgery, a kind of fuzziness. And I have significant haloing at night so that I prefer not to drive at night too much, though I can do it. Still, it was worth it, though only marginally so. Prior to Lasick, particularly since I started wearing bifocals (or rather, "progressive lenses"), I had pretty much permanent eye strain. After Lasik, that went away completely. I do need my reading glasses, but can do some basic reading without them at the moment. Not too big a deal. Every time I get irritated by a halo at night, my wife reminds me that I no longer have any eyestrain! Sanford
That was one of the counter-inications they told me about.
Funny. I did mine last year, around August. Never looked back. I had -4 before and could hardly drive at night, while my short distance was going as well due to age.
Now I have better than 20:20 at distance. The night vision is back and I can drive again. The short distance is gone, but that is age-related and nothing I can do about it.
So, I have very thin +1.5 glasses for reading and working on the computer screen, and that's it.
Drawbacks? None that I can figure. Other than it being a lot more painful than what I was led to believe. A complete eye mask protecting from ANY light immediately after the surgery should IMHO be mandatory. And the first 6 hours are very uncomfortable. But at midnight I could read the TV text across the room!
Ah: and golf has never looked so good!
