Re: POLL: 20/20, eyeglasses, contacts, Lasik? - vicrock - 09-23-2009 One problem with Lasik is, that if you have it done when young, it will overcorrect when you get older. Every time I go for an eye exam, my nearsightedness becomes less and less - if I had done Lasik 10 years ago, I'd be way out of whack by now. Re: POLL: 20/20, eyeglasses, contacts, Lasik? - DaviDC. - 09-23-2009 I wear glasses but take 'em off when I sit down at the computer & see just fine within a range of about 2'. It's getting increasingly difficult to focus in on things close up but I have a magnifying headband with LEDs on each side that gets the job done nicely. One day I'll need new lenses to correct cataracts but I'm not there yet & couldn't afford it if I were. Re: POLL: 20/20, eyeglasses, contacts, Lasik? - SDGuy - 09-23-2009 Contacts at work, but only because I'm vain. My glasses would seem scarifyingly thick if I were to wear them in public: around -16 diopters correction.

Re: POLL: 20/20, eyeglasses, contacts, Lasik? - ztirffritz - 09-23-2009 I got LASIK. I went from almost blind to 20/15 in both eyes. Re: POLL: 20/20, eyeglasses, contacts, Lasik? - wave rider - 09-23-2009 Glasses since fifth grade. Near sighted with some astigmatism. Contacts for some years, since I'm doing lots of work in front of a computer screen now, mostly just the glasses. Contacts for surfing. Lasik sounds interesting. I'm old enough that my eyes are getting better. And kinda cheap too... =wr= Re: POLL: 20/20, eyeglasses, contacts, Lasik? - OWC Jamie - 09-23-2009 Glasses. wore contacts for amost 20 years without problems, but not 100% correcting my astigmatism. I'm also developing an accomodation problem, fortunately progressives and constant eye exercise help. Re: POLL: 20/20, eyeglasses, contacts, Lasik? - wickedsteve - 09-23-2009 My glasses are intrusive enough for me. Re: POLL: 20/20, eyeglasses, contacts, Lasik? - rz - 09-23-2009 Been wearning glasses since the second grade. Tried contacts when I was 19 and HATED them. I got a goopy buildup in them within an hour, and had worse vision than glasses. Everyone I knew that had contacts said they saw better with them than glasses, but not me. As for Lasik, I have a very good friend who had it done a couple of years ago, and she regrets it. She has really dry eyes now, and has to put in drops several times a day. Plus she says she doesn't see as well as she did with glasses. I've never really found glasses to be that inconvenient. Most sports/activities that I participate in outdoors has me wearing sunglasses (perscription) anyway. And when I played volleyball indoors for years, I never found them to be a problem. And for SCUBA, I have perscription lenses in my mask. Ditto for swim goggles. |
