As part of the pre-operative tests that the doctors run to rule out candidates for lasik surgery, the eyes are dilated and then they peer, searchingly, at those dilated eyes.
I wonder, did they measure the dilation of my eyes? I'm skeptical. If they did, wouldn't they have said "no" if the dilation was going to be so much wider than the treated area that I'd suffer double vision 80% of the time? If my eyes dilate so much wider than the treated area that I can see, when I shift my vision from a bright place to a dark place, how the double-vision fills in as my eyes dilate to let in more light?
Why is that information not considered prior to the surgery? Why was I told I was an excellent candidate instead of being told, for example, that my eyes dilate so wide that the surgery wouldn't treat the entire area that needs to be treated (or why wasn't the treatment modified to cover the entire area that my eyes were shown to dilate?)
I am not a happy person. I'm very sick of seeing new games or movies released and thinking, "You know, that looks like maybe it isn't super bright all of the time. There's no way I'll possibly be able to enjoy that." Only being able to play video games when I can get direct sunlight beaming onto my face through the window really sucks.
