I have only...Aw, what a sweet valentine's gift! I have only heard good things about lasik, so I'm sure you'll be fine! Good luck!<br /><br />I have just now gotten to the point where I've realized I'm pulling out my glasses more and more often for routine activities. It used to be only for when I was in the back of the room and needed to read the board at the front of the room. Then I started putting them on when I was driving somewhere new, in order to be able to read street signs better. Then any time I drove at night. Then any time I got in the car. Now it's any time I watch TV or get on the computer or go to a movie, etc. <br /><br />So . . . I'M considering getting contacts. Which puts me in the same boat as you, except a step behind. I'm nervous about it. I've never worn contacts. It's weird to think about poking myself in the eye. But it irritates me to wear my glasses all the time.<br /><br />Em<br /><br />(PS I have a new post up!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186539952058305290.post-77940480634547798912010-01-13T15:17:09.228-06:002010-01-13T15:17:09.228-06:00It's always scary to let anyone at our eyes. ...It's always scary to let anyone at our eyes.

But, to be comfortable and be able to wake up in a hotel or friends house or even my own home and see who and what was where sounds fabulous.<br /><br />AND, my eyes are always so uncomfortable. I don't know how you can even drive at night with such bad vision. I get the starburst and glare so bad that I have to pull to the side when there is oncoming traffic.<br /><br />I'll keep y'all posted!Farmer*swife a/k/a Glass_Half_Fullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369013637299261668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186539952058305290.post-18621985983183661462010-01-13T15:02:43.282-06:002010-01-13T15:02:43.282-06:00My brother had his Lasik surgery before it was leg...My brother had his Lasik surgery before it was legally acceptable in the US -- he had to go to Canada to get it done. He has never regretted it and he can see!<br />My eyesight is worsening and I now have reading glasses. It's almost time to go back and see how much worse I've gotten in the past year.Karen (formerly kcinnova)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16705613736966783261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186539952058305290.post-55629096504435009912010-01-13T14:52:35.765-06:002010-01-13T14:52:35.765-06:00You and I share nearly the exact same Rx!

And I've heard a lot of people say their night vision is affected (and I have a hard enough time driving at night as it is!). I'm too squeamish anyway. I don't mind wearing my glasses - they're cute. ;-)<br /><br />I'll be REALLY curious to see how it goes for you, and I'm definitely keeping my fingers crossed that all goes well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07570437173288571934noreply@blogger.com
