Re: Laser Eye Surgery

My wife had laser surgery in one eye, no problems and she shoots well. She has long distance vision in one eye, close vision in the other eye and switches back and forth easily. Dry eyes is a common side effect and she does experience that from time to time. My optometrist offered me another option: corneal refractive therapy.

You can find details and a practitioner here: http://www.paragoncrt.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Essentially, you sleep in a "device" much like a hard contact lens and it reshapes your eye overnight. I have 20/10 vision with my CRT. One's vision must be in a range defined by clinical trials for this to work but it's highly successful for those. I had worn contacts for years so this was an effortless transition for me. Sleeping in the device is much less wear time than putting the lenses in daily. Depending on your age and eye shape, you may not have to use the device every night; I use it every other night. My optometrist's teenage daughter uses it once a week. Ah, the benefits of youth.
