It's been one month since my LASIK surgery, and I went to the eye doctor today for my checkup.
自从进行LASIK手术以来已经有一个月了,今天我去看眼科医生进行检查。
The conclusion is amazing to the point of disbelief, but we did the tests several times. You may remember I was -9.25 diopters or roughly 20/1600.
得出令人难以置信的结论是令人惊讶的结论,但是我们进行了几次测试。 您可能还记得我是-9.25屈光度或大约20/1600。
Tangent: What does 20/20 mean? (or 6/6 in metric)
切线: 20/20是什么意思? (或公制6/6)
If you have 20/20 vision, it means that when you stand 20 feet away from the chart you can see what the "normal" human being can see. (In metric, the standard is 6 meters and it's called 6/6 vision). In other words, if you have 20/20 vision your vision is "normal" -- a majority of people in the population can see what you see at 20 feet.
如果您的视力为20/20 ,则意味着当您距图表20英尺远时,您可以看到“正常”人的视野。 (公制标准为6米,称为6/6视觉)。 换句话说,如果您的视力为20/20,则您的视力是“正常的”-人口中的大多数人都可以在20英尺处看到您所看到的东西。
If you have 20/40 vision, it means that when you stand 20 feet away from the chart you can see what a normal human can see when standing 40 feet from the chart. That is, if there is a normal person standing 40 feet away from the chart and you are standing only 20 feet away from it, you and the normal person can see the same detail. 20/100 means that when you stand 20 feet from the chart you can see what a normal person standing 100 feet away can see. 20/200 is the cutoff for legal blindness in the United States.
如果您的视力为20/40,则意味着当您距图表20英尺远时,您可以看到一个正常的人在距离图表40英尺时可以看到的东西。 也就是说,如果有一个普通人站在距图表40英尺的地方,而您距图表仅20英尺,则您和该普通人可以看到相同的详细信息。 20/100表示当您站在距图表20英尺处时,您可以看到站在100英尺外的普通人可以看到的内容。 20/200是美国法律盲症的临界值。
So, my vision was fairly bad, but such is the life of the four-eyed geek right? Everyone remembers not being able to see the blackboard and telling their parents. Next thing you know you're 30, have worn glasses your whole life and didn't go to prom. Well, maybe not that last part, but you get the idea.
所以,我的视力还不错,但是四眼怪胎的生活对吗? 每个人都记得无法看黑板并告诉父母。 接下来的一件事,你知道你已经30岁了,一生都戴着眼镜,没有去参加舞会。 好吧,也许不是最后一部分,但是您明白了。
Anyway, went to the doctor today, and my vision is officially 20/10. Yes, 10. That means I see as clear from 20 feet as a person standing at 10 feet. So, pretty amazing. I still have some slight visual artifacts in the right eye in complete darkness, but that gets better every day. All in all, a significantly better result than I could have expected, especially considering when I orignally decided to get this done 5 years ago, I was told "We don't recommend LASIK for folks more than -8." Clearly that has changed, and the technology has improved.
无论如何,今天去看医生了,我的视野正式是20/10。 是的,10。这意味着我从20英尺处的视线与站在10英尺处的人一样清晰。 所以,太神奇了。 在完全黑暗的情况下,我的右眼仍然有一些轻微的视觉伪影,但是每天都会变得更好。 总而言之,这个结果比我预期的要好得多,尤其是考虑到当我最初决定在5年前完成这项工作时,我被告知:“我们不建议LASIK手术的人不要超过-8岁。” 显然,情况已经改变,技术也得到了改进。
Anyway, I won't sully this technology blog anymore with LASIK musings, except maybe for the six month and one year checkups.
无论如何,除了六个月和一年的检查,我再也不会因为LASIK表情而讨厌这个技术博客了。
