Here’s some detail for those interested in lasik. I had a procedure about 2 years ago. My guy had done 98k eyeballs in Atlanta by the time I was in his office. That’s the guy I want to see. If I’m getting a vasectomy I want the guy that just does vasectomys all day erryday.

So after the initial visit where they make the calculations to correct your vision I later returned for the procedure. Doc said it would be 11 minutes in and out.

They lay you on the gurney and numb your eyes with drops. At the 1st machine they attach a suction to an eyeball and make the cut to create the flap. Do that for both eyes. Then wheel you to a 2nd machine where they peel back the flap and actually laser the cornea. It’s a trip you can smell your eyeball burning but be cool man. It took 10 minutes total that dude wasn’t lying.

Stand up and it’s like looking around underwater. Blurry and strange but already a slight improvement on my 20/500 vision. You now have to keep your eyes closed for 4 hours. Most people try to nap but your eyes water constantly and after the numbness wears off they feel like you have sand in them. I wouldn’t say it’s painful but it’s uncomfortable. Can’t rub them or get water or anything else in them as the flaps heal.

Wake up the next day and return to the lasik office. They test my vision and it’s 20/15 for both eyes combined and I had astigmatism. Unbelievable. Eyes still feel like sand is in them for another 7 days but vision is super sharp. Need to use steroid drops for a few days and regular drops for a few months to keep them moist then those phase out.

After wearing contacts for decades I noticed my new vision had so much more detail on objects far away. Because contacts are porous they don’t provide the sharpness at long distances. With lasik I can see leaf detail on far away trees I never saw before. Overall, totally worth it. Just go to a person who has had a lot of prior experience.

Well, that would be Tim Tebow

Getting LASIK was the best decision I ever made.

Jacket is emotional because he doesn't like what DW does. The ticket price is simply something to complain about. There are great seats all over the stadium that are the same price or cheaper. If DW is over-estimating the value of the new club, the price will get dropped. Yes, it's a market, and yes, it's a product.

Shampoo is a "product"...college football is a family and friends tradition. You get emotionally invested in college football because of those deep emotional ties. If being a Tennessee Volunteer or a fan any other crappy program was just a "product", literally nobody would be going to those games..

Who did you use in Atlanta? I am strongly considering doing it, and I live 45 mins from ATL, so that is where I will go to get it done. I’m 45, and have had contacts for 30 years. I also have an astigmatism. My older age vision has really started worsening in the last 2-3 years. I’m tired of dealing with contacts and ready to be contact free.

Cardinals 3 outs away from clinching the WC. Odds of making the playoffs on Sept 2 - 2.7%

(Dodgers fan here)

So the post-season reward for the two teams that have battled for the best record in the National League all year is that one of them will get beat in a one-game series by the hottest team in baseball, and the other will lose the NLDS to the hottest team in baseball.

I hate sports!
