Stardusttwin,
Does blind as a bat sound bad enough?
I honestly don't know what my vision was prior to the surgery, but it was pretty darn bad. I put my glasses on first thing in the morning and took them off last thing at night. I wasn't even able to walk around the house without them.
I may be an exception to the rule, but I have a Soror that had the surgery done a few months after I did, and upon talking with her a few weeks ago, she told me that she also has glasses for the computer, but she doesn't wear them that often. Now my problem is not that I can't see well, but astigmatism. I've heard (and Soror told me that her doctor said this as well) that astigmatism can "come back", if you will.
Do your research before having lasik - there have been zillions of successes, but also many people that are not satisfied with the results. I'd be interested in finding out how many people also have had to wear glasses or contacts after surgery.
