Has anyone here had it done? How much did it cost? (I know it varies on prescription) How did the procedure go? What was the recovery time like? I think i'll call tomorrow and talk about it to various Dr's in the Atlanta area. I want it so bad.
Don't let anyone go near your eyes with anything pointy or laser-like
i was this close in getting it done. But a mate who is an optician warned against it...."its a healthy eye, just leave it alone"
so i did.
so i did.
Blackbelts are just whitebelts who have never quit.

If you're self concious about wearing glasses, wear contact lenses. The soft contacts are really good and you can buy a pair that last a whole year so long as you place them in cleaning solution each night. Soft contact lenses are more pliable and easier to wear than hard lenses because they're made of a soft, gel-like plastic.
soft contacts are like 95% water or there abouts.

Military doesn't allow contacts in the field. Plus im weird about touching my eyes. Glasses can get expensive and I always get them scratched.
my buddy had lasik. doesn't regret it at all... he recommends the one where you get the flap cut in your eye and then the laser, as opposed to the weird "wipe your eyeball until its soft or some shit" process.

i would rather wear glasses for life than get some sort of surgery on my eye.

I've been using glasses since before I was 6 years old.. don't really have many problems tbh...
Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me
My gran got it done and now has great eye sight.

"people in ny have a general idea of how to drive. one of the pedals goes forward the other one prevents you from dying"
the whole process is really disturbing but apparently it's relatively painless
they use a laser/tools to actually remove the outer flap of your eye and then do all the cool laser shit once that's off
and now, a video!
i usually cringe at any movie scene where somebody gets their eye fucked up, but even i thought it was cool

Anyway, isn't there something about that "flap" they cut never healing up entirely and can potentially be knocked off in e.g. car collisions?

It apparently heals faster than when the laser burns away the whole lens.
Haffey didn't you used to work in an eye surgery?

my mistake. I remember that someone was working in an optometry years ago. Thought it might have been you.Brasso wrote:
