| kristenulmer's Full Review: Matthew Ehrlich - How to See Like a Hawk When You'... |
Ever witness an entire lift line down on their knees, looking for your missing contact lens? Know what it's like to re-insert that same dried, crispy lens without a mirror in 25 mile-per-hour freezing wind? How about trying to ski an icy chute while your Pointdexter glasses vibrate like a tuning fork on the end of your nose?
Been there. With a prescription of -8.00 (translation: hold up three fingers and I can't even see your arm) I finally decided to take the plunge and get my eyes fixed through Lasik surgery. This was a big deal, I can't even stand to watch someone rub their eyes, much less have my own 'melted' with a laser.
Not wanting to take any chances, I flew to Southern California and had the renowned Dr. Tom Clinch at LCA Vision do the surgery. It lasted 10 minutes, felt like someone had thrown a handful of sand in my eyes for about a day, and now I have 20/20 vision. It's definitely the most sharp while skiing because of the clean, cold air.
For skiers frustrated with dry eyes, contacts blowing out at high speed, or trying to fit goggles over glasses, this surgery is well worth the melt.
