No need for glasses while riding/driving

[petey]

Like a lot of you guys out there I was wearing glasses (full time) and looking for ways to minimize/eliminate the foging up of the face shield and eye glasses. Well, I never did find anything that realy worked. Yes I purchased the pinlock shield and that did keep the face shield clear, but it was money down the drain because my glasses where still the problem.

It's a lot more difficult to keep the glasses from foging up.

However at the end it did pay off to have purchased the pinlock system....NO MORE NEED FOR GLASSES while riding/driving..I had catacact surgery and coudn't be happier with the outcome.

So, my grin from ear to ear while riding will only increase from here on out.

Congrats on the results! Enjoy the view!

Congrats on the new set of eyes.

Congrats - never underestimate the value of good vision - its worth every penny......

I am extremely lucky, I have fantastic vision and have never had an issue. My father spent big money ($20k +) on cataracts surgery, with lasik as well as having lenses installed...... I think he can see better then me now at his 75 years old, but I definitely try to take care of my eyes with good quality polarized sunglasses.

The world is full of beautiful things to see..... I hope you take the time to appreciate them.

My mom just had cataract surgery last month and for the first time in 76 years, she wakes up and can actually see the numbers on the clock! I'm jealous!!

I thought from the title this was gonna be a rant about all the stupid movie scenes showing actors posing as bikers, speeding along the highway without wearing any eye protection. Invariably annoys me.

After wearing specs for 50 years, I had cataract surgery done on both eyes about a year ago. No damned glasses! Couldn't be happier. Congrats to you!

I had cataract surgery on my left eye in January 2013 after essentially being a one eye rider the year before. Felt great 4 hours after the surgery, the only inconvenience was the 3 weeks of daily routine of putting drops in the eye, and my only regret was that I waited so long to have it done.

Sweet Pete! Now I suppose it's back to Mach II "touring" for you.

Oh, great. Now Petey's gonna be able to SEE when he goes all ninja on someone.

Now maybe you'll be able to see the cops BEFORE ya get nailed.

I wasn't complaining about the drops.....the hardest part was remembering to do it.

Petey,

Did they use the new model that they don't cut the eye to put it in from the front. They shove it up your backside and push until you dont have a ****** view.

Seriously, one of the best things a guy can do. When I see patients after their final exam, they are happier than a pig in slop. Good for you.

Say Petey, do the new eye lens correct vision or just clear things up? I have the beginning of cataracts but not bad enough for surgery. Maybe in three years when I am your age I will be eligible. I can't see well enough to read anything with out glasses.

Junior, not that advanced in this part of the country yet, to offer the no cut model, and I'm glad I don't have a ****** view...

BTW happier than a pig in slop, is an understatement..
