I can't speak for LASIK, but I had PRK surgery about 5 months ago (My cornea was a little too thin for LASIK). I work 8-10 hours a day in a callcenter where I have to look at a computer screen all the time. I am also a student so spend a lot of additional time looking at computer screens working on various papers and projects. My eyes sometimes get a little tired, and I have minor halos around lights when looking driving, but they are rather small. After about 2 weeks, when recovery was basically complete and everything was healed, I had no problems looking at a computer screen. After 1 week my eyes got tired a little bit quicker but I could still function to do my job. I have had no problems.
On a slight side note, I would recommend PRK over LASIK in many ways. The laser for this is the same and it has exactly the same success rate, the only difference is that the initial recovery problem is a little longer and there is increased discomfort, but for me at least it wasn't all that bad. The advantage to this corrective surgery is that there is not a corneal flap cut so there is no chance for the flap to be dislodged later. Once the membrane over the corneal membrane has finished healing (2-3 weeks) your eyes are just as strong and resistant to damage as before.
Basically I highly recommend corrective surgery of some sort... which type is best for you must be decided by you and your doctor. Definitely look into PRK over LASIK. It was definitely a relief when I had this done to not wear contacts or glasses and always be able to see. I also see at 20/16 in both eyes now. This is slightly worse than what I saw with contacts (20/12) but not enough to harm me... still better than 20/20.
I know that feeling. I work in a call center for an internet company and all of our company correspondence about trouble tickets and that sort of thing. I generally get about 150-20 emails a day during the week, and around 100 on weekends. As a part of my job i am responsible for reading all of that mail. This is a very time consuming process. I remember going on vacation for a little over 2 weeks and coming back to over 1500 emails. Needless to say i did not read all of those. The only way that i am able to get manage all these emails is by having lots and lots of filters. The email just gets out of hand... soon we are going to have a new tracking system, hopefully this will lower the email to a more managable 50 a day!! I feel really sorry for all the people who don't now how to filter email.
To all of you in similar situations... good luck and may you filter all your mail.
