post-LASIK followup, 3 months out
Not much to report, really. The place that performed my LASIK surgery did the exam, which, ironically enough, meant that I spent about 1.5 hours more coping with the appointment (half an hour travel, an hour spent waiting), and got a less thorough evaluation than my usual optometrist would have given. (They didn't check my eye pressure, for instance, nor did they dilate my pupils so as to get a good look at the interior--and I wasn't impressed with how they checked my astigmatism.)
However, it seems clear (heh) that I can see 20/20, and have a decent crack at 20/15 (I got 4 out of the 5 letters correct with each eye, and 5/5 with both, with some effort). Not sure how much astigmatism I might have (see above). I still experience the halos around quasi-point-sources of light when my eyes are dark-adapted, but they're less pronounced, I think. I think that my night vision may be just a little bit worse (acuity, not contrast), but that's really hard to evaluate.
All in all, it's turned out well. Now I just need to hope that presbyopia fails to rear its ugly head for a couple of decades, so that I can get some use out of my factory-rebuilt eyes before they start deteriorating again. :P :)
