Lately, my vision has been deteriorating. I know several people who have had PRK or LASIK surgery, all with good outcomes. I was wondering if anybody here has had that type of surgery, I'd like to hear your experiences. Is there any advice you can give me? Thanks.

Wife had it, works wonderfully....painless, quick, pretty awesome procedure. I know they say it doesn't work for everyone but I don't personally know someone who had a bad experience with it. I just started wearing contacts for the first time in my life and will probably do the surgery next year (sons braces where the priority this year).

One thing I can say is that it is not a lifetime fix. Wife had hers done about 6 years ago (I think) and she is noticing her vision deteriorating again.

Had Lasik eye surgery for an astigmatism around 7 years ago. Corrected my vision to 20-15 and 20-20. Had my eyes checked last week and they were 20-20 and 20-30. There was some deterioration but not much. Pay the money for someone good not just cheap. After all you only get one set of eyes and they have to last a lifetime.

I had lasik almost 14 years ago and even at that time I felt completely confident in the procedure. Millions of people have had corrective eye surgery since and I have yet to hear of too many problems...but I am sure there are some.

I absolutely loved it...but as I have aged, find I now wear glasses again for driving and watching tv....but it was still worth it big time

I almost got Lasik treatment 2 years ago. They suggested waiting until my early to mid 40's to have it done due to the continued sight deterioration up until that age. It was also said that if you can read and see up close without glasess that Lasik surgery can expedite the need for reading glasses as you age. So I am holding out a few more years. I can tell you that I hate wearing glasses (10 years now).

      It's your right to refer to it as vague, but it still flouts the theory of "zero evidence" that Tepper is changing. Here's another: "Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan are reportedly being given a larger leadership role within the organization. Panthers owner David Tepper 'has taken a more hands-off approach of late,' according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. 'He's trying to trust Canales and GM Dan Morgan to get it right, knowing that the roster requires patience in its current state,' Fowler wrote. 'We shall see if he holds to that.'" https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10146782-report-panthers-david-tepper-has-taken-a-more-hands-off-approach-to-team   ""David Tepper just wants to win and he's gonna supply everything that we need to win.. Things are changing around here and things are looking really positive" ~ Dan Morgan  https://x.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1917639137550627107?t=6vgo8yXTO6eD0Gb55hyzNg&s=19   From about 2:15-6:35, Julian Council, Locked on Panthers, gives his take on whether Tepper seems to be changing (and specifically referenced the war room in his analysis):    Dean Jones of Cat Crave on David Tepper in the war room. "He was an innocent bystander throughout a hugely important decision, placing full trust in Morgan and Tilis to make the right call." Jones also quoted Pat McAfee: "What I noticed though, at one point, they looked at (David) Tepper to get an answer, Tepper didn’t say sh*t. All anybody has said about Tepper is that he’s hands-on, hands-on, hands-on. Too handsy, too involved. He’s not letting the football people do their thing. We just watched in the biggest moment for their franchise, a top ten pick, he just sat there and let everybody do their jobs. I think if you’re a Panthers fan, you love everything you saw there." https://catcrave.com/silence-from-david-tepper-becomes-panthers-loudest-victory Granted, you're not getting a major headline here, but that's not going to happen anyway. Fowler isn't exactly a nobody, everybody knows McAfee, and you also have some locals that follow the team (including Dean Jones). Of course you have a right to believe that Tepper hasn't really changed, but to say there is no evidence that he just may be changing is not really true. It's just not. Hate the guy, but the way that he has handled this current regime is different than he handled previous teams, and his silence in the war room and publicly in general is different than years back.

      My interpretation of his comments was somewhat different. And I took issue with his contract the day he signed. But it's all history now and doesn't matter in the big picture.
