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).

      The Carolina Panthers should go back to Bryce Young

      I think these reps Bryce is getting in garbage time are supposed to be somethign of a PROVE IT moment for him, except he keeps proving he is incapable of moving the ball. Bryce has shown repeatedly that with him under center, this team simply cannot score points at all. Andy can. 2 of the last 4 losses were winnable games with Andy in. I cannot remember the last time we had a winnable game with Bryce on the field.

      Trade everyone and fully rebuild..

      I'm not saying Chubba want to resign here. To be honest I don't know why anyone would ever come to Carolina unless it was for a boat load of money and that person had no interest in winning. As for keeping Hubbard, I don't see a problems with it if the deal is reasonable pricewise. We have a 2nd round back coming off an ACL tear. We have no ide how he is going to play upon his return. These days you pretty much have to have 2 backs to ease the RB workload. The days of the 25-30 carry per game are long gone. Brooks contract is pretty cheap. If Hubbard came back around 4-5 million for 3 seasons that wouldn't break us.  And, if you did trade him at the deadline, what are you expecting in return? Most likely a 4th. Is that really going yo move the needle? Nope.  If a player want to be moved this season and you can get a good return, that's one thing. But the idea of trading "all expiring contracts today" is unreasonable. We don't have anyone on this roster who is going to fetch more than a 3rd/4th round pick. I don't see a player on our roster who is going to put another team over the hump. Furthermore, it's not like we have a FO with a good track record nailing their draft picks. If they did we wouldn't be in the current predicament.
