[QUOTE="sugar2, post: 185630, member: 6681"] Anti carb, Congratulation on teh birth of baby. Hope you are both well. I had laser in both eyes, and by laser I mean lots of laser, they lasered everything they could back in teh mid 90s. I believe the technicques have improved a lot since then. Every 3 years, I have to go for a visual fields test. basically, you look at a round screen, stare at a central spot, and press a trigger every time you see a light flash up somewhere in teh surrounding area. Over the past 15 years or so, I have had this 6 times. Itis clear from teh results, that I do have a slight issue with vision in teh lower, left portion of my visual field, but it is not serious enough to not be able to drive. there is a central area, which you must pass. I assume that the more laser you have, the more you lose your visual field, but this is combined with otherfactors, like how good your vision is generally etc. When I first had, I had to repeat teh test (there and then) as I had too man "false positives" ie I was pressingteh trigger, becasue I was worried I hadn't pressed it for a while, and just general jitteryness.
