Laser Eye Surgery

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.

Meh, at least you'll have medical pot.

I want to get laser eye surgery ...im tired of contacts but its so damn expensive! When I join the army maybe they'll do it for free so that I can be sniper.....maybe...just maybe

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.

hey how bad did it hurt?

It didn't hurt at all during the procedure. The ONLY painful part was the 45 minutes after the surgery, when my eyes went from numb to not numb, and I didn't have any pain medication yet.. My eyes felt like they were on fire and I had like quadruple migraine headache pain..

Oh, and the procedure lasts forever. Of course, it doesn't cure aging eyes, so when I get older I'll still need reading glasses, or I may get glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, etc. You can also buy different packages, which will insure your eyes for X amount of time. There is a 3 year plan where they will make touch ups for free if my eye sight deteriorates in that period, and there is a lifetime plan.

Not moving was the hardest part. I was seriously freaking the fuck out for the entire time I was getting the procedure done.. It was not cool at all. The worst part was when the first eye was done and I knew I still had the other eye to go.. :creepy:

*shudder* Tis like something from a bad dream. I think I'll stick to my glasses indefinately. I may get contacts, though.
