I've been on and off about this for the longest time now. I've done my research and yet again, I find myself in the middle. I guess ultimately the decision is up to you to make.. but dang it's a toughie.

One can only imagine the little inconveniences that mount up from having imperfect vision. I hate having to wake up every morning to a blurry.. well, everything.. until I can finally get my hands on my glasses. Contacts is a no-go for me bc of the constant irritation it causes my eyes. I can never have 'em on for more than 30 mins until I literally have to rip 'em out. Glasses are such a hassle for me bc I cannot begin to tell you how many times I lose them! Goshhh it would be sooooo nice to wake up to a clearer view of EVERYTHING. That's like heaven for us blind folks, haha.

 

But of course with everything, there are both pros and cons. I've heard 'em and read 'em all. I just need to figure out if this is a good risk I shall take. Hmmmmmmmmm

ohhh goodness, I know the feeling! I wish I can wake up to clear skies. I actually was going to get lasik about 3 years ago, when I had the money, but I have a weird attachment to my glasses so I didn't do it. Now I'm in debt, so no lasik still =\ A LOT of my friends and family have done it and not one of them have had any regrets. I'm going to do it sooner or later. Get the freedom sally! lol

Same. I have this thing with my eyeglasses... It's always been there for me. Sometimes I have this love and hate relationship... Gosh. I have 4 pairs of eyeglasses, 'cause Cambodia was soo cheap. I will get my lasik when I have kids.

Tina, I'm ALWAYS misplacing my glasses! I have to have Lana help me find them bc that girl's eyes can spot anything, haha. I'm currently on my 4th/5th pair of glasses.

FDA is conducting a study on it. It will come out in 3 years. I suggest that you should wait for their report. You dont want to have a permanent double vision.

I wear glasses. My wife tells me I should wear them coz they make me look cute. I agree with the contacts being a no-no. I thought about getting lasik surgery, but she said no coz she's afraid I might get eye infection or something.

You should do your own research and decide then. There's gna be lots of pros and cons.. but you just have to decide for yourself if it'll be right for you.

I guess it depends on how blind you are! I'm okay with it right now! I only need it when I'm driving in the dark to an unfamiliar destination! I'm near sited! when my vision gets worse I really would consider it! I guess it also depends on your life style and what you do for a living too! I wish I can see better playing sports!

I used to be like that too. I only needed my glasses for driving.. but then I started becoming more reliant on my glasses and I think that's what made my vision even worse.

yeah i wear contacts and i'm ok with it. but it would be nice not to spend money every now and then on contacts and solution. if you follow through with it, be sure you go see the specialist with the most experience. they usually cost more but i rather take my chances with the more experienced specialist any day.

Oh most def. I wouldn't take my chances with a newbie, lol. But nonetheless, you're still taking a pretty big risk..I just hope I one of the ppl with a great outcome.
