A friend of mine had it done around the same time as you. She worked on one of those tacky women’s magazines and so she had it done for free so that she could write about it and the magazine would also get paid advertising from the company that did it. She’s still not wearing glasses again.

at uni, our optics lecturer did a class on laser eye surgery, told us how each type worked and what it did etc., and how it was great. but then he wore glasses and said he wouldn’t get it done himself, which i always thought was a bit odd.

i quite fancy getting rid of my glasses one of these days, used to wear contacts but had issues so maybe i should have a look at this.

I don’t regret it, although I’m wearing specs again they’re not the bottle bottoms I was wearing before and I only really have to wear them for reading, watching tv and using a computer (which is most of my day!)

There was an amusing moment just after I’d had it done, I was getting the train home and was getting a couple of amused looks and then realised, I had a big cotton wool patch over one eye and (being an amputee) had a hook instead of my left hand, all I needed was a parrot on my shoulder!

Had it done a couple of years ago, been amazing so far.
Although it’s surprising how quickly you take having perfect vision for granted. After couple of days I didn’t really think about it much again.

Nice one KR. Sounds like I should give this a go. How bad was your vision before the op?

#44

-5.75 and -6 I think. Quite poor vision. I had been wearing contacts for years, so the biggest benefit was just to be able to do away with all the faffing about with the lenses and although the surgery cost just under 3 grand, it will pay for itself in a number of years due to not buying contacts any more.

A lot of places offer a free initial consultation and check whether the surgery would be suitable for you, which could be a good idea if you’re thinking about it.

Music to my ears, thanks man.

I don’t really understand how vision acuity is measured so this doesn’t mean all that much to me I’m afraid. Will investigate.

i’m pretty meh about getting it done but it could potentially be vital in a post-apocalyptic scenario

you’d have to be buying a lot of contacts for that to be true, i would have thought glasses work out more expensive, especially if you’re prone to losing them.
