The rain moved to the north here. Which I am happy with since it is a hail storm.
What app or device is that?

Both MangoLassi and Spiceworks are having their busiest nights in forever. So much traffic going on on both sites right now.
I've not even been very active on there today either. Although earlier today I did have 30+ notifications about post replies.

Cool. @minion-queen had that done recently and is loving it.

@Bill-Kindle Grats! I had PRK a few months back (just had a checkup yesterday actually).
They couldn't do LASIK on mine because of the astigmatism. -

They couldn't do LASIK on mine because of the astigmatism.I'm terrified to do it.

@scottalanmiller It's not that bad. Honest.
If you asked straight afterwards I would have told you it was perfectly horrid... but it is just a few days of recovery and then you are right for years. No more steaming glasses when I take something out of the oven. No more being blind out in the rain... And I had the slower recovery version. The place I had it done prepared me very well, told me exactly what to expect and on day three to just sleep... which was what I did. (Got up, put my drops in, took some Panadeine Forte and got back in). -

I have such severe eye issues that I can't even use contacts. Even a doctor couldn't get them in. Doing LASIK there is probably no way I could handle the procedure.
-
@scottalanmiller Yes ok. Mine have had a few issues (went from wearing contacts full time to being told I could never wear them again due to the blood vessels crawling over my eyes), but not that bad. Nosy, but what's the prescription?
-
I honestly don't know my prescription. Only get new glasses every five years. They are bad but not horrible. Near sighted. Read without glasses.
-
@scottalanmiller I had a friend who was myopic, about -10 or something. She could wear contacts, but there was no way they could do anything for her in the way of laser. First thing every morning she would run blindly to the bathroom to 'put her eyes in'
Mine were not that bad, the worse one was about -3.5 or something. -
I have a feeling that I am around -2.5 but I don't know why I think that.

The app is called clear day. On an iPad.
-
@lillucia I think that I am around -2.5 but I have no idea why I think that.

I have no idea what my eyesight was, but I was near sighted enough that the book had to be less than 12 inches away if I wanted to read it.
I had LASIK back in 2005 and I have been loving it ever since. The whole scalpel your eye to make a flap was scary as shit in my head and almost as scary when they did it. Now that is done with a laser scalpel instead of a blade in many cases.
My wife wants LASIK, but was told years ago that her cornea is too thin for the blade method. She is debating going back in now to see if the laser method I makes her a viable candidate.
