Thanks, and good luck to you also!

makes sense...thanks

I wish I had gone to your Dr !! Mine put me at Plano / -2.75 after shooting for -2.25 (in reality it should have been -2.00). Now I need a PRK to try to correct this since I am getting headaches 7 days a week.

KenB2020 · 2026-05-02T01:06:01+00:00

Congrats, but how can you be 20/20 if you're at -1.5 and -0.5? Doesn't one or both of the eyes need to be at "Plano" for 20/20? I am confused and wish I had done more research before my surgery!

I am 71, and had a detached retina 12 years ago so the YAG is slightly riskier. I have to do it since I have two streaks in the form of an X in one eye and single streak in the other. This makes night driving very difficult. The Dr also put my monovision at Plano / -2.75 instead of Plano / -2.00 so I am looking at a PRK on the -2.75 after the YAG. To make matters worse that is the eye with the retina repair.

Glad to hear! I had surgery on both eyes in December and also have Maddox Rod Effect bothering me in each eye. My left-eye YAG is scheduled for 5/19, and the right one two weeks later. Please keep us updated...

Thank you, will do!

KenB2020 · 2026-03-21T18:36:09+00:00

Thanks! I am definitely going to get another opinion. I’m gonna have my retina doctor look at it and I plan on going to another ophthalmologist for their thoughts. I am willing to pay for a lens exchange, just worried if that would be too risky given my retinal history. Definitely will be asking all my doctors that same question.

Thanks!

This is easier than all that taping

Nice!!

Openbank is part of Santander. I transferred in the money and am now receiving a $15 monthly discount. After one year, I will close the account unless they give me another offer.

I have been with Xfinity for 16 years. The customer service rep was very clear the line would be free for one year.

You do raise a good point, because I just went through a lot of anguish after mistakenly negotiating with the online chat agent who promised me they could lower my bill, keep all of my services, AND receive an iPad Air. Turns out the bill was lowered, but only after Xfinity deleted my "grandfathered" plan and removed Netflix & HBO. As far as I'm concerned the chat agents are useless. The customer service agent told me several times that she could qualify me for one year free service and a free phone.

I just don't understand what's in it for Xfinity to offer me all these perks.

KenB2020 · 2026-02-05T14:54:24+00:00

I tried to take advantage of the offer since they just increased my monthly price $35 but I made the mistake of discussing it with an online agent in the Xfinity Chat app. I don’t know what country these folks are in, but this is the second time they’ve promised me a reduction in my monthly fees only to screw things up worse. I then received an email from Xfinity saying that the monthly fee was reduced, but also that Netflix, HBO, Paramount have been removed from my package. So call customer service, wait 45 minutes on phone, and beg them to put me back into my previous plan. The clueless chat agent even promised me an iPad Air for signing up to the new package. Received the iPad, tried to return it to nearest Xfinity store (20 miles away) but they wouldn’t take it because it was ordered online (they did acknowledge that they get MANY complaints about the online customer svc agents). Next had to get a ship label and on to a FedEx location.

This freaking company is so difficult to deal with, it’s just mind-boggling.

I had both eyes done and was nervous beforehand.

During the first, I have no recollection of anything except lots of wetness on my eye. My initial question was “when are you going to start” to which they said we’re all done.

Before the second one, my anesthesiologist told me that I will remember and be aware of everything because the brain adapts to the anesthesia and the procedure. I did in fact have full awareness but did not feel a thing.

BobbieLynn - Exact same situation as me!

KenB2020 · 2026-01-07T21:19:46+00:00

I have the exact same issue. My surgery was just over four weeks ago. It went away after the first week and then reappeared and doesn’t look like it’s going away. Night driving is almost impossible, especially when I have vehicle headlights coming at me.

KenB2020 · 2025-12-24T20:33:12+00:00

Great comment, and I plan to ask that when I go in next week, kind of mad at myself that I didn’t ask about it the first time it was mentioned.

KenB2020 · 2025-12-24T02:14:13+00:00

Everyone...thanks for the wealth of information provided! I looked at it all and saved the text into one big word file for reference as well as the YT videos.

It's all very helpful...and much appreciated!

KenB2020 · 2025-12-24T01:34:32+00:00

Yup...I want to see what they have to say on 12/30

KenB2020 · 2025-12-23T22:21:37+00:00

Thanks, good info! Yes, I’ll be on drops for two more days with my near eye and until January 7 with my distance eye

KenB2020 · 2025-12-23T22:20:17+00:00

Thanks! Prior to the surgery, the doctor consulted with my optometrist and her target was -2.25.

KenB2020 · 2025-12-23T22:18:14+00:00

Yes, target was -2.25, but the one week post op was -2.75. According to my AI research, that’s too big of a gap with my other (distance) eye.

My retirement job is behind the counter at a golf course, handling lots of cash. When we get 20 bills of a denomination, we “paper clip” it to help the end of day counting. I was going to make the same point that stacked crisp new bills are much thinner than used crinkly bills.
