The best $3700 of my life - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

09-01-2011, 05:03 PM

Just got back from my laser corrective eye surgery.
$4900 knocked down to $3700 for military for PRK in both eyes

As many might know, I woke up to kayak saturday morning and found my last pair of contacts ripped, so I put on my $500 Oakley presciption eye glasses, and sure enough, flipped my kayak for the first time and lost them.

Instead of buying new contact and glasses, I went into the office on tuesday morning, and 48 hours later I was under the laser.

Best investment I've ever made, and I couldn't be happier!

Just had to brag a little =)

My sister in law got that done a few years ago.....only thing she said was she doesn't know why she didn't do it sooner.

I had laser eye surgery done 10 years ago and still 20/20. One of the best things that I ever did.

Ditto. Best investment I ever made too. Wish I'd done it sooner!

I had corrective eye surgery 12 years ago and it was like a miracle. First dive after the surgery I spotted a 20lb halibut from the surface in 15 feet of water. Real nice and congrats. Mike

Wife had it done 9 years ago. I still can't get away with the crap I did before she could see.

Glad it went well!
