Re:Ask HN: Did you have Lasik eye surgery?
on Friday March 29, 2013 @05:13PM (#5463072)
Had LASIK about 7 years ago. The day after LASIK, I was 20/20. A week later, I was 20/25. A month later, 20/30, where my eyesight settled for a few years.
With 20/30 vision, yeah, you can function and drive without glasses. But things are just not quite sharp.
Then, of course, they tell you that once you hit 40 years old, you will start losing your close-up vision. And yep, that happened. Now I have readers as well, which I need to use for reading really small print.
In the end, I went from wearing glasses 100% of the day, to wearing them 70% of the day. Not the improvement I was looking for. If I could do it over again, I wouldn't bother.
Good luck, though.

Maybe this is a stupid comment, but I always use my middle-mouse button (wheel) which opens a link in a new tab. Why wouldn't that be the solution, instead of an extension?

hmm .. click2mail.com, email2postal.com, and postalmethods.com seem to have had the same idea.
