man my vision is probably worse than yours, Titusfied. the time before I checked my eyes last, my vision was 20/400 or something like that... now it's even worse... my mom says that in prescription terms(not the 20/20 way) i have a -6.something(which doesn't mean anything to me, all I know is that it's worse) for example i can't see words/letters clearly unless they're about 4 and 3/4 inches away! ha! beat that Titusfied!

Hehehe.

-6 is really quite shocking. The last optician I spoke to was really surpised that my prescription is about -2.5 to -3, and I know I can barely see anything, so -6 must be terrible!

Did you say you were contacts, Titus? What are they like? I'm a-thinking of contacts. But they're so expensive!

Haha, actually I did beat you. My contact prescription was a -7.5, however that isn't the worst I've seen. My girlfriend has a -8, and my brother's wife has a -10.5.. Around where I am though, there isn't much of a difference in how much someone can see, because we can't see jack shit..

For both eyes, it cost $3,875, plus a $100 dilation test two days earlier.

It was "knifeless", however, it wasn't "bladeless". They used some sort of circular pressurized blade to cut a perfect circle in my cornea so they could get it out of the way for the laser to reshape the tissue structure.

It was pretty fucking scary in the surgery room, being 100% awake and all, but it only lasted about 10 minutes to do both eyes, so it was like high anxiety for a very short period of time.

That sounds horrible!

"Now don't worry Mr. Titus, this won't hurt one bit, we're only going to cut into your eye."
zzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
"AAAARGHHHH!!!"


Hell, if it works then it works. When I get older I'll have to get it done. I don't want to go blind...then again, I'll probably get glaucoma. No way to really avoid that.

How long does it last for 10 years? I heard it doesn't last forever.

Lasts long enough for you to save up for the next time I suppose. Better than ten years of grubby prints on glasses forever sliding down your nose, or poking bits of membrane or whatever they are into your eyes.

And as the 10 years elapse technology will get better and the next time could last 20 years, or 40 years, or maybe a lifetime. You never know.

Glasses bend lines...so yeah, I hate them. However, the thought of someone cutting a hole into my eye while I'm awake doesn't sound too appealing on the nerve factor, nor does the price.
