Well, I am now finished with the first week of healing from PRK surgery. The dominant eye is 20/20 and the non-dominant is 20/40.

This is worlds ahead of where I was at 20/90.... 20/120 pre-surgery.

They say the NDE might get better in the next few months, then again it might not. Either way I plan on not wearing glasses anymore.

My question is if things stay the way they are am I better off closing the NDE or leaving it open? The reason I ask is I am headed back for my (hopefully) last deployment.

- Will have a standard M4 with M68 and M9 with CT grips.

- Don't expect to do much shooting this tour, but I didn't expect to last tour either and that did not work out as well as planned.

- I will be wearing standard eyepro, but no corrective lenses.

- Have not been to the range yet but I normally shoot expert on both by Army standards. This is fair to middling by competition standards.
