Sean - Wow! Thanks for such a detailed reply! Wavefront lasik is what I had, so hopefully I just am having a slow healing process. The streaks, while worse at night, are still noticable in some light such as an overcast day. The glare is not noticable in bright daylight. I learned a lot from...

Philip - I wouldn't call it impaired. The problem isn't that major at all, it is just noticable because I didn't have the glare as bad with glasses, so I am a little distracted. Actually, if I stick my glasses on right now the glare goes back to the level I had pre-surgery (but of course...

I talked to the doctor today and she told he not to worry at least until the next appointment in 3 months. I changed my eye drops back to vials (no preservatives) and things have been a little better since then. Only the bright stars have "X"s through them and headlight glare is better a little...

Thanks for the replys. I moved up my 3 month appointment by a couple of weeks to talk to the doctor a little sooner and see how I should be at this point. I have read that in some cases glare doesn't get better after the 3rd month. Other things I read says it gets better over 6 month, 9 months...

Thanks for the answers everyone. I still hope to hear from some more people. Dave - When driving, if you look at the headlights and traffic lights that are further away, you don't see any glare at all? I don't have much of a glare/starburst on closer cars, but the ones that are 150ft and...

No, I didn't have it done at Kremer. I'll let you know by email where I had it done if you would like. The surgeon is rated higher than Kremer for the area though. I know that the halos/starbursts are normal for the first 60-90 days, but I am at 67 days right now. I'm glad to hear that...

By the way, I will give my own answers to these questions after a couple of others have. I just want to hear from some other people first. Thanks!

I recently had Lasik surgery for my eyes. My sight is now better than 20/20 but I have some concerns about my night vision. Please answer these questions no matter how good or bad your vision is. Please only answer if you are sure. I didn't notice these until they were pointed out to me. Thanks...

Many people have said that the 3805 has a different, more detailed sound than the 3802. The 3802 sounded boring for movies, in my opinion, where the 3805 has a more lifelike sound without being harsh.

I have tried many different receivers with my same speakers (and the speakers in the same position) and the sound is quite different receiver to receiver. I wouldn't go as far as to define one receiver as "bright" and another as "warm", but I could definately say that one receiver was...

I had a great time with the HTF2 clan yesterday. I was having more fun with the every man for himself games than I was with the team games just because it seemed that there wasn't enough team strategy. The most fun games for me were the swords games. Unfortunately, I was having some...

If you are still adding to the clan, please add my gamertag to the list: theSteelPhantom

I've been away for awhile and my Gamertag has been changed to: theSteelPhantom I have just added Halo 2 to the lineup and this will probably be my only game in the box for the next couple months. I'll update my other live games list later. Please feel free to add me to your...

I owned a Yamaha RXV-596 and 2400 and both seemed brighter than my current Denon 3805 to me. When matched with my Paradigm speakers, the Yamahas (especially the 2400) had an edge to it that caused listening fatigue. The only receiver I tried that seemed brighter to me was an Integra 7.1. Others...

The pirate show at Treasure Island is still there....sort of. The ships still battle, but the show is now called "The sirens of TI" and is mostly just a really bad pop music show (girls against the pirates) with some special effects thrown in. I never saw the original show (which was supposedly...
