Pool is mostly mental, but clear vision is essential. New system corrects vision better than ever.
colin colenso: Usually there's a whole bunch of ex-4 eyes get into 'optics' threads with a bunch of language I can't fathom. I'm just a lucky 20/20 guy who's never had to worry about it. Must be great though, to be seeing clearly again.
alpine9430:Congrats! Interesting video. If that option was available to me 2 years ago, I may have waited on the Lasik Surgery.

Look at all this stuff you don't have to read because it doesn't have any thing to do with the TOPIC of the thread. It's amazing how much time you will save by not having to deal with all these rantings of people (author included) who have nothing better to do with their time except degrade a perfectly helpful post into something irrelevant and/or negative. If you would like to join us in a journey guaranteed to be a complete waste of time, read on. Latest comments are posted at the bottom.
guru: and just think of how much more depressing a mirror is going to be
fastmikie: i don't catch your drift, guru... say what?
colin colenso: He's suggesting that you'll finally get to see how handsome you are
By the way, your link was wrong Here's the correct link to the video!
cutechasaurus: BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAH Guru I have a newfound respect for you, that was hilarious!!!
DaveK: Even though I rarely gamble, I'll put $100 on Efren. You just play pool for a pastime dude, you've got way too many distractions to be dedicated enough to even approach the skills of an Efren Reyes.
fastmikie: The quality of replies to this thread (excepting the one by Colin) serve to prove the adage "There are more horses' asses than there are horses." I suppose it was too much to expect any serious dialog on the TOPIC, which was an introduction to a new science of vision improvement which could help all pool players. But no! What a collosal waste of your time, and everyone else's who come here to learn something useful, and only have to wade through idiocy. I guess that's what the "Ignore List" is for. You guys earned it!
purdman: Hey Mike, you don't get hit by the tomatoes until you stand up. I would like to know how your new bionic eyes work when you get them. Please post results. Thanks!
Guru: Gee Mike, if I'd known you didn't have a sense of humor I never would have posted to you. Sorry to get you torqued with a little general humor that you must have taken personally (after somoene explained it to you).I thought the working link and info was intriguing. I noted it and plan to follow the technology. I think it's a good thing that you shared it with the community on whole, even the ones you have now deemed, "horses' asses." (btw, good use of the apostrophe there. You'd do well in the English pet peeves thread as a postive example) My joke was not a personal affront, the way you seem to have taken it (now), but was merely a regurgitation of what just about everyone jokes about when they get new/better/stronger glasses/contacts/lasik etc.. The blurs may have been doing us justice in the same way that gauze over the lens did for Doris Day. Anyway, lighten up, stress causes wrinkles.
guru: Latest reputation received: Super Vision 11-07-2005 11:01 AM off topic, complete idiocy, waste of time Gee, wonder where that came from. Waah.
cuetechsaurus: Hey guys, don't get Fast Mikie mad! He says he is better than Loree Jon Jones! He's like an APA 5 or something. BWAHAHAHAHAH
FastMikie: Ok, I get it. I apolgize for my negative comments. I should know better than to energize and propagate the vibe.I know that frustration vented with judgements of other people's actions is counter-productive.I have edited out the original rant. Hopefully other posters will do the same, and all this will be behind us. I come here in peace,
only to learn what I can, and to share what I think may be helpful. I will keep my comments positive and productive and on topic. And hopefully others will too.
cuetechasaurus: There's nothing wrong with getting back at someone if they insult you. Just don't take it to the point where you wanna physically harm them or something. This is a public forum, shit gets hurled back and forth on a daily basis. I thought it was funny that you think you are better than LJJ and at the time you were like a 4 or 5 in the APA. Come on man, how can someone NOT take a jab at you for that?
davek: You're not alone. Yesterday someone stuck this in my reputation :
"off topic, waste of time, idiot" with a similar time and thread citation My post was absolutely on topic. Mik suggested in his original post that he would be better than Efren after his new bionic eyes arrived. I merely suggested that I would be willing to wager that he would not. That would seem to be a direct repy to his post. And then he/she/it suggests I'm an idiot ? Kinda makes you wanna say "hmmm...".
blah blah: how do you guys see your reputations and comments? i've looked and can't find anything (maybe there is none.)
drivermaker: I think it kinda makes you wanna say, "hmmmmmmmiiiiiiiikieeeeeee....And I also am not going to delete a damn thing I said nor see any reason for anyone else to. Hey Mikie.....get yourself an automatic daily enrollment on a joke website so you can gain some kind of sense of humor and not take everthing so seriously on here. Having you go off like this or continue to post your little snide comments behind the scenes on various posters isn't going to be very endearing. Fact is, your popularity is going to hit rock bottom real soon.
drivermaker: Go to the top of the page and click onto User CP...then scroll down to the bottom of the page where you might be on recent threads. If you have nothing in the comments section that were made by someone...there is none. If so...you'll see them. Fact is...who cares?!
rakmsuckr: Just so we can stay off-topic, how can you find out who made the comment? I was surprised to see I had one. And what do those points mean. Can you use them for anything? Back on topic - I am going to stay on this. Hopefully, it comes to my area soon.
drivermaker: If anyone was PAID to summarize off topic posts, you'd be a millionaire because EVERY thread goes off topic...not just yours!! Learn to live with it and take those panties and stick outta your ass. (Don't forget to add this post to your list and put another shitty comment in my personal page...which I won't be even bothering to look at)
fastmikie: I did not say i was better than Loree Jon Jones. i just beat her 2 out of 3 games of 9-ball after she just flew in cross country. there is no way i would ever say that i am better than she is.
fastmikie: i was a skill level 7 in 9-ball and an 6 in 8-ball at the time, not a 4 or 5. let's get facts right.
fastmikie: for the original story i wrote about my play with Loree Jon Jones, click this link, and you will easily see that i never once said i was a better player. in fact i was amazed that i won, and it was all written in good humor and admiration for a great player and a great person. she's tops in my book.
Guru: You've got my on-topic mixed in with my off-topic. It's like a Reese's peanut butter post, gone horribly, horribly wrong. Please correct it at once.
FastMikie: In the Fast Mikie world of Thread Summary rules, it is ok for an on-topic to be mixed in with off-topic, but not vice versa.
houseman: I believe you are mental.... and creepy too!
FastMikie: yeah. i get that a lot.
breakup: After reading the thread and your recap of the match with LLJ, I think you should consider bringing your Willie out of retirement. I think getting a good workout with your old Willie might lighten things up a bit.
FastMikie: Your concern for my Willie is unwarranted as well as unwanted. Contrary to what you read, I have not actually retired my Willie. In fact, it was un-retired again last night. Stay tuned for video.

Super Vision
Thread Summary
While pool is mostly mental, clear vision is essential.
I had an eye exam today, and was surprised to learn of a very recent
development in the vision improvement field.
I have just experienced the newest vision analysis system which checks for, and can correct with custom lenses, "high-order abberations" in the eyes. It seems most people have these abberations, and they effect the clarity of what we see.
This system is a new invention by Opthonix
a hot, privately held bio-tech company here in San Diego.
The basic premise is that every eye is unique
and requires a unique lens to optimize vision.
They do this with lasers, computers, and lots of math.
Check out this video!
My new bionic eyes will arrive in a couple of weeks.
Updates and more information posted as it becomes available.
Information Updates:
Estimated cost: $385.oo for the lenses, frames extra
The analysis requires special machines,
which your eye care professional must have.
Contact Optonix for more information on the machines.
