That's where I really notice it, on the golf course. There, and when I go to Rockies games at Coors. I swear I can see facial expressions on people sitting across the stadium from me. It's like laser vision. Before I had it done I couldn't see far away at all without contacts or glasses. Everything was just a blur. Now I can see like a freaking hawk.
Need readers to see anything within arm's length clearly, but that's no problem at all. Can't believe I put pieces of plastic in my eyes every day from the age of 13 until I had the surgery. What a pain in the ass that was. Could not recommend Lasik more highly. For me it was truly life-changing.

Lucky you. My MIL got lasik back when it was new and hella expensive and has never been back.
I had to have a follow up procedure within 5 years. My vision is still good now but not as good as it was. So I'll probably have to have another later in life.
I still recommend the shit out of it tthough.I had thick ass glasses for when I took my contacts out. Doing an eye test one time without them before lasik, I was told I tested legally blind (so 20/200 or worse). Although, I distinctly remember being able to see the E at the top of the chart so that Dr must have been lying to me.
