I don't understand why so much of the population needs glasses from a young age. With something as evolutionarily important as eyesight, you'd think we be a little more optimized.

For a few weeks I was a little more sensitive to light than I had been previously, and my eyes were a little dry for about a week.

I have been fine since then, and am loving not having the "hair in my eye" feeling from contacts, and not having to constantly clean my glasses--dirty lenses drove me nuts


There's too many bad genes floating around for survival of the fittest to apply in the case of humans.

I've got a campaign for this... lol

Seriously, I love my glasses but my sight keeps going and going. I am waiting as long as possible because I don't mind my glasses at all and I have heard after 5 - 10 years you need to have it redone.

Depends on how good your surgeon is...and don't wait too long- you have a window where the tissue on the surface of your eye is good for the procedure--too young=too soft, too old=too hard

I've had it done. The doctor gave me numbing drops and poked at my eye, asking "can you feel that?" When I replied, "yes" he put more in. He then poked at it again, when I said I could still feel it, he dismissed it.

Then I went through the worst pain in my life. Nothing like screaming through a laser in your eye and smelling burnt eyeball.

But now I can see great.

Underwater vision is the only valid benefit listed so far. You could always just use good swim-goggles. If you're serious about underwater vision you need a facemask anyway, because the human eye sucks in water. I'm all for laziness but messing with something as critical as the eyes just so you don't have to put on and take off lenses?

I had my eyes done last year and it was 100% worth it. I would recommend it to anyone. I was in and out super quick and it was completely painless, this is saying a lot for me as a I have a pretty big eye phobia. The procedure has come a long way.

What I would recommend and this is what I did, is find the doctor in your area that does all the NFL and NBA players and use him. Most teams will do a great job vetting doctors before their players use them. One of my friends who is in the NFL gave me the doctor he and all his teammates used and he did a great job.

Makes me think about those people who need daily dialysis, insulin shots, etc. - What if some worldwide catastrophe takes place and you can't get that anymore? Fucked. I would hate living with that in the back of my mind.

I got it done 2 years ago....no issues...love it. Totally worth it. Top notch Doctor completed the surgery with the newest lasers blade free for $2800.

If you're not a pussy, heres my entire procedure done...only 15 minutes long:

LOL if you're thinking about having LASIK... ignorance is bliss. Don't watch.

The Vicodin helps too.

My friend had it done, and it lasted like 20 mins, he was perfectly alright after he had it done, only thing is you need a driver to drive you back after the procedure

I KNOW I need to go to an eye doctor soon. Years and years of staring at a monitor is really starting to take it's toll. I have to squint to read street signs, have trouble driving at night, etc.

I'm 100% sure by this point I need glasses or contacts. Lasik would be nice, but I really feel uncomfortable with lasers hitting my retina. I'd honestly rather just wear prescription glasses.

It sounds like you need contacts or glasses already and your an ignorant fuck. If you're going for eye correction surgery good luck, and let us know how it goes because I'm still on the fence (-3.5 myself).

I am considering getting a lasik done some years in the future. I am really focused to achieve that 'dream' of mine. I like my circle lenses but oh-well I wanna see clear under water so I want lasik. Was quite confused if there will be really touch-ups after a few years.

damn all you lucky fucks that got painkillers, I didn't get any. the light on the ride home was brutal. I got home and popped enough klonopins to sleep the day away.

10 years later and I still don't touch my eyes at all though, lol.

You had Lasik 10 years ago? Hows it now? Need any touchups, etc?

My doctor told me that the odds of a touch-up may depend on how bad your eyesight is to begin with. In other words, if your site is really bad like mine was it may increase the possibility for a touch up. Come to think of it, everyone I know who has had the procedure has needed a touch up, but that's only about five people.

Cost me $3k total and I did it at 19.. 4 years ago. It was so fucking worth it. One of my eye took a few months to go back to normal and I constantly had to put drops but both eyes are 100% normal now.

Sharksfan

I had mine done in 2001 when I was 28. It cost me about $4000 then.

Now I'm 38 and I am just starting to have trouble with small things - seeing a digital clock across the room etc.

It made a HUGE difference in my life. I got glasses when I was in the 2nd grade (7 years old) and I could never really wear contacts. First thing I did when I woke up was go and buy the first serious pair of sunglasses I ever had - I blew something like $400 which was a lot of cash at that point in my life, but worth it.

At the time I was huge into being on the water - boats, jet skis, water skiing, etc - and being able to do all this stuff without wearing glasses with a strap on my head made it totally worth it. Plus my vision was bad enough that I had definite safety issues if I lost/broke my glasses.

I also get free touch-ups and I will probably go through it one more time. However, I do not expect to do it after that. As you age the elasticity of your eyes change and you will need glasses no matter what.

I, personally, have pretty alright eyesight. I had glasses when I was younger for maybe 3 days before I said screw it. I know my eyesight isn't perfect but I seem to be just fine without contacts or glasses. I do wonder what this "HD" 20/15 is like. Anyways, the point I want to address is that if you're dealing with a procedure that involves fucking around with your eyesight, I'd spend the extra money to make sure it's done well. My lawyer had his done about a year ago and spoke on flying to Beverly Hills for it to be done. He compared it to his legal prices, stating that you get what you pay for so if you want the best, pay for it. If I was looking to get it'd done $6k would be happily handed over rather than $299 / eye.

Bofu2U

Definitely. It's not worth going cheap on. The way my mom used to tell me was "It's the one thing that you can't really get replaced so take care of them" - she was referring to the fact that I'd leave my contact in too long, but that line alone resonates enough that I remember it almost every time I change my contacts (and I only change 'em maybe once every 2 months as I have monthlies but still).

<rant> For anyone that's currently using contacts and is thinking of Lasik (like myself) - I implore you to attempt to get Night & Day contacts from your eye doc - you can sleep in them, change 'em once a month, etc. The biggest difference for it (and if you're a regular contacts user you should get this) - when I drop the windows in the summer, I can feel the air on my eyes with monthlies. Regulars it's like they'd hit my eye in a circle but never the middle. That change alone made me consider how different Lasik would be even over these. </rant>

Thanks for answering. The #2 doubt (right after the whole knife to the eye thing for me) is whether or not it'd last. I'm actually really surprised at the number of people on this board that's had Lasik.

It is not painful if you use the newer methods. The new methods do not necessarily require touchup, as most people who got lasik will return to glasses in their later years (40+) anyways.

rushh

might get this in the future

Vrindavan

i need to do more research on Lasik before doing it.

Rage9

I don't find it hard to take them out every night. I'm not sure how much better the night/days are. Like when I sleep with mine (which is rare as shit) in it's just cloudy as fuck when you wake up. What brand do you use?
