My wife got LASIK a while ago and as I was sitting in the waiting room, I struck up a conversation with the guy sitting next to me. He had a hell of a good reason for getting his eyes done.
A month before, he and his two teenage kids had been asleep when three BGs broke in.
The guy woke up to the sound of strangers in his house. He grabbed his pistol off the night stand and could see someone standing in the doorway of his bedroom. The problem was, he hadn't had time to put on his glasses and, with his very bad vision, wasn't sure if it was a robber or one of his kids. The BG jumped him, took his gun, knocked him to the floor, threw a blanket over his head and told him, "If you move, I'll kill you"! The poor guy didn't think he had any real choice, so he stayed where he was, ready to fight if he heard his kids being attacked. The BGs ransacked his house and left.
"I never want to be in that situation again", he told me.
The doc told him he'd have 20-20 vision after surgery. He'd arranged for the surgeon to give him "monovision", with his right eye focused from 8" to about 25" and his left eye set for distance. I had mine done that way and it's perfect for pistol shooting. I can see the sights in sharp focus and also see the holes in the target.
He'd already applied for his CCW and bought a new Glock 19, since carrying his 6" .357 wasn't a good option.
Just goes to show you that your HD plan won't be worth a damn if the BGs don't follow your plan.
