Major Weakness

[kingy]

glasses are super sexy.

  my eyes were -10/-11 and i had lasik done. i was scared to death since it was such a high degree.

  my right eye is now 20/20. my left eye is 20/30 which isnt bad i guess. the only problem i am having is at night. i still get the halos/ghost effect. this was done 2 years ago and i think it will be with me for the rest of my life. i pretty much have a really hard time with bright lights in the dark because of this. im pretty sure that it isnt safe for me to be driving at night.

  during the day, and on sunny days, i can see super clear.

Hey Kingy.... mine is worse than yours by a power or two, plus I have high estigmitsm.  I've heard about the halo after-effect from corrective surgery.  Driving at night is important to me so, that is why I would probably never have eye surgery.  It's far to risky!  There is no way in hell that I'm going to have someone mess with my eyes.  If the procedure was free, I still wouldn't do it.

Too much imagination.

[purelife]

?  what do you mean?    

[Gopher]

I spend too much time anticipating problems, especially those which are unlikely ever to arise.

[purelife]

In reference to corrective eye surgury, Gopher or in general?    

[Gopher]

In general.

I have glasses..dyslexia...pitbulls...and a bad temper...does that make me hoopdidoopal?  How about weak? LOL...I am happy...and that makes me STRONG!  Plus...I ate my wheaties! LOL

[Moolah!]

I'm not in the habit of doing this, or perhaps it's a weakness of mine, but if I see a word being consistently misspelled I finally jump in and write the correct spelling:

  Aw.  Thanks, kingy.  That makes my day!  

[P.C.]

I too was blind as a bat ripper.  I also had the lasik and I'd do it again in a heart beat.  I'm losing clarity now, but it was about 7 or 8 years ago and I think I'm on the edge of needing glasses again.

  I'd highly recommend it purelife.  I went to Dr. Lin and he is a genius......on Broadway I think....Pacific Laser Center.  He's the one the  EYE DOCTORS go to.

seriously?  I too am scared of laser eye surgery.  (what if they screw up?)

  So- no weaknesses left, P.C.?

[P.C.]

I sure wouldn't go to any 'bargain' places for my eyes.  As hubby's been in the optical business for years and years and years, he did a lot of research before we made any decisions.

  Aaaaa....weaknesses you say.  I don't know if it would be classed as a weakness, but I'm a terrible procrastinator.

Sorry to hear that P.C. Wearing glasses sucks major ass. I.m surprised that your eyes changed so much. How old were you when you had it done. I was told not to have it done until i one was thirty and change.  

[purelife]

I probably won't consider laser until a few years from now.  My b/f has been nudging me to go....when I'm ready, I'll post a thread about it so that I can seek your experiences and others.  Pacific Laser...got it.  I'm still very freaked out about anyone zapping my eyes.
