Guest Diabolique Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 sometime in the near future I'm excited to say I wil finally get my eye fixed. I had an accident during childhood that left me (at the time) permanently blind in my right eye. I was about 3o minutes form lsing hte entire eye due to my cornea being so damaged, but fate helping me out that day, thank goodness. I could've ended up having a glass eye (read: social freak; ppl are so damn shallow I've seen it myself) Five surgeries later the doctors gave up, but I was able to execise it as it healed, to 20/200 vision. Now I can, with laser technology, finally see with both eyes. ok Talmage, how many fingers am I holding up? ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oni1414777741 Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 be careful. not everybody can have that laser operation. Some people get worse. Every single person that i have spoken to has had ZERO problems with the surgery. Dont think i have encounter one that didn't have 20/20 or better vision afterward or had any kind of complications.

Guest Marina22 Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 you guys realize that wearing glasses exclusively makes your eyes progressivly weaker over time. Never heard of that. I heard it on the radio on this commercial for a product or service to train your eyes to not further rely on glasses. Don't know if it's legit but the concept made me think that maybe it was true.

I know there are methods to improve your eyesight, but I was never aware that wearing corrected glasses could make them weaker by reliance.

Guest Diabolique Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 you guys realize that wearing glasses exclusively makes your eyes progressivly weaker over time. Never heard of that. I've had two eye sugeons tell me that, when I didn't like having to wear a contact to help my vision, I asked to wear glasses. The main Dr. told me that eyeglasses do the work for the eye, making it weaker over time. I choose to do neither and excersised it all the time. luckily everything turned out ok, I guess. I hardly notice it, except when I walk into someone or something I can't see. SOmetimes it happens and ppl are like "Watch where you're going!" ..."I would if I wasn't blind in that eye!"then they feel like an A-hole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Miss_Digital Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 I got the most advanced laser available and it was 2500 for both eyes. I paid for it all in one shot but they offer some excellent financing options.Bling, it's not a big deal to have bad vision. Get the surgery.I love my glasses too Jackie, I am going to have the lenses replaced with clear... shhhh don't tell anyone! lol hehehe i love my glasses too they give people character and an interesting look but if you notice on TV no one wears glasses only if there excentric or really smart or its part of there persona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
