When I shoot at dots on a target they look all deformed. My right eye is just super blurry. I can see the smallest of letters with both eyes open, but close the left and seeing any detail is pretty shot. Doesnt effect glassing, but getting clear site on sights, scopes or pins is tough. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was told I can’t get it with my astigmatism. I guess it depends on how bad it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is that to have insurance cover it or to pay out of pocket? Ive been told the same thing, but messing with contacts or a contact is just a pain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing to do with insurance or self pay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My wife had over 30 lasik surgeries covered by insurance. But you correct if the only reason for surgery is for better vision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are parameters of several different aspects. They will examine you and tell you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It worked fantastic. 15 years and still no glasses needed. I got mine done at Barnet Delany Perkins in Phoenix. I think I paid $1200 but it was only one eye. The valium and Percocet cocktail they give you is worth the price of admission. 😁😁 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Born2hunt Report post Posted March 6, 2022 I just wear glasses and is no problem. When behind 15s I take them off. For what it’s worth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
border hunter Report post Posted March 6, 2022 I glass without my glasses I need massive eye relief to start with. When I glass from my tripod my glasses go in my bino pouch. Just understand your glasses will get scratches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sam Report post Posted March 6, 2022 I am starting to wear my glasses more now as well. Need them for distance and crispness and they are helpful for night driving. I take them off to glass and to shoot through a scope. The worst part of wearing them is how they make rough roads look - every rock and dip looks bigger then what they actually are. Hiking with glasses is also hard to get used to.....actually, getting used to being in my mid 50s is somewhat challenging. Lasik was not an option years ago when I looked into it for a stigmatism. Maybe things have changed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
