Laser Vision Correction

Has anybody ever had this? I've a consultation booked in for next week and I'd love to hear from someone who has had it done.

if you've still to go through university or whatever, wait with the glasses until you've done then get the treatment, you'll find that hours of reading fuck up your vision again. wait till uni is done then go for it

i have laser vision


Posted by Trazedict on Apr-25-2006 16:23:

the only thing stopping me from getting laser vision correction is the fact that there really hasnt been a long enough clinical study trial.... i mean, 20 years from now what will the effects from the laser be like on me eye? will i be blind by then? its to risky for me right now, but i hear they do have correction where they dont even make slits in the eyes anymore. so that might work.

I had laser eye surgery 2 months ago and now my eyes are better than 20/20, really. :-)

I have been wearing glasses for almost 12 years or so and I am sick of them.
I REALLY REALLY want to wear sunglasses ( wannabe fashion wh0re ).

Anyhow I tried contacts. On my first try testing them one got stuck in eye and the people in the shop were sure it had fallen on the ground or something. Kept scratching my eye like a mofo and the day after the thing fell out right in middle of class. And that was that. Didn't continue.

I would love contacts but the hassles and the prospect of having to take care of them just bothers me.

i had it done and now i'm blind, but that could be from masturbating too much.


Posted by Quinders on Apr-25-2006 21:44:

Yeah I wore contacts for 4-5 years and then suddenly developed an allergy to them so I couldn't wear them anymore! That's why I'm going for this consultation as I look like an ass (and am very self conscious) with glasses. I really hope this works out. I'd give all the money I had if it was sure that I'd get a good result.

Cool. I would be the happiest man on Earth if the same thing happens to me.

Nah, university is long gone. I'm 25yo. I do use a computer in work quite a lot and this may be a bit of a bitch for a while.

I've had two eye surgeries (not laser but muscle), and compared to other surgeries I've had (i've really fucked myself up playing sports ) - they were a walk in the park. Nothing to be worried about.

I've contemplated eye surgery but I feel that it's not the right time. Perhaps later on when the vision gets worse. I like my glasses and contacts, specially the glasses although they might cause ear pains every now and then.

My brother got lasic a few months ago and within days his vision was 20/10. Whole procedure took about five minutes from sitting down to walking out. Expensive, but well worth it.

i think your glasses make you look cute.

anyway, i am intrigued by laser vision but too scared to try it. plus my eyes keep getting worse. i don't think you are supposed to get it unless your prescription is stable.

you can get it done for well under $1000 an eye.

touch the screen with eyes, for cheap laser vision correction


Posted by Quinders on Apr-26-2006 09:01:

If I'm suitable for it, it will cost �2000 for both eyes. That will clear out my bank account nicely but hopefully it will be worth it.


Posted by trewqy on Apr-26-2006 09:11:

So get sunglasses with "real" glasses? I have a pair, and it's just plain easy... Put your glasses off, then put your sunglasses on, no bullshit with contacts...

Yeah they wont let you take it unless your vision has been stable for a while.

Im sticking with contacts/glasses etc for now. I dont like the idea of nighttime halos around bright objects or the loss of contrast that can come with laser surgery at the moment. Too risky.

Not going to do it for a good while yet.
