tryinharder Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I'm going to have it done April 6th. My vision now is 20/400 and I have a lot of astigmatism. I hear good stuff from people around me but I'm still scared (a little). I want to take the glasses off makes me keep wrecking on my bike.Anybody had it done and know what it's like. Any comments?

JennaSide Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 How old are you? You shouldn't get it if you're too young because your vision is still changing at a faster pace. If you get it, spend good oney on it. Don't go to one of those cheap places with the "get one eye done, get the second done free" places. The only real issue is altitude. If you're planning to climb Mt. Everest someday, don't do it because for some reason in really really high altitudes, the cuts made on the eye from lasik surgery come undone and you're blinded. They might've fixed this, but I know that when the surgery was first being performed, a lot of climbers found this out the hard way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest katie Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 nooo! can result in blindness, and glasses are brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Kimberly Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I cant see the point. I wear contacts so it's the same as geten the surgery. Once I put my contacts in. And there's no risks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's had a few lasic surgeries done, and it actually damged her vision. That may be the exception, but I'd go with contacts or glasses until you are absolutely sure you want to do it. Besides, eyeglasses can look good on a chic. Example, Lisa Loeb, I dig her 50's era glasses. For some reason, it turns me on. Her great body helps too!!

Gash Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I was considering just having the one eye done once because I'm too cheap for both and partly because I'd have an excuse to wear a monocle. I'd be interested in getting my eyes done eventually when I'm a little older and have a bit more money, by then the science should have progressed also. Just something you have to research thoroughly I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryinharder Posted March 17, 2006 Author Share Posted March 17, 2006 A monicle how funny. Reminds me of Hogans Heros. You'll be scrunching your face up alot to read. Welp, I'm old enough and I'm spending apx. $3400. The doctor doing it is a alumni from the college I'm attending (as well as a handful of other prestigious colleges.) He has been performing the operation for 15 years now and has a long track record of success stories. He is not an old fart either...nice steady hands...I like that ALOT. He said I was a perfect candidate. I'm sketchy but then again I'm definitely a dare devil type. Dizzy had it done huh, hmmmm that explains a few things maybe.Well thanks for your input. The altitude thing bothers me though because I want to fly and I like to dive too. I'll have to ask the doctor about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
