I've thought about it but, for me, glasses are not that much of an inconvenience.

well if I could wear glasses I wouldn't think about lasik, but my vision can't be corrected with glasses and my eyes are becoming more and more sensitive

right now, I shouldn't be wearing contacts f.e because I have conjunctivitis but I must wear them and that makes things worse

in the last 6 months my eyes have gotten worse again.
step by step ...

I wonder how my eyes would be if I got surgery on them. I'd be wearing glasses again.

depends really...
I assume your diopter goes in + now, if you already have - then you're not a candidate for lasik

Ack! Didn't mean to disappear but my power went out for about 30 seconds!

That meant I had to wait for the cable to reset, and it usually means I have to unplug the wireless router and then plug it back in to reroute. Otherwise, I show "Connected" to the Internet but nothing actually goes through.

I can sympathize. The idea of any sort of surgery on the eyes is scary. No matter how many "good" stories you hear, the ones that didn't end well are out there too. Plus, just the idea of someone messin' with my eyeball...ewwww.

I have TERRIBLE vision. It's about 20/800 without my glasses. Even with them, it can't be corrected to anything like 20/20.
But the even bigger problem is that I have "floaters." LOTS of floaters. My eye Dr. says I have more floaters than anyone he's ever seen. And not only does that get in the way of your vision (and make you highly irritable sometimes), it also apparently means that I am at higher risk of a retinal tear.

yup, turned up + for a while now.

for a couple months I was going crazy because my eyes with the camera in focus was all over the place.
I found out that when I was pulling my camera out of the bag my finger was rolling the diopter dial .... I did one photo shoot where I had to rely on the camera's AF system totally as everything I saw was OOF.

Now I check focus once in a while in relation to the diopter setting.

PITA. It freaked me out, though, because I still have to take a shower before work. We're on well water, so no power=no water.

I almost had to take a ho bath!

Precious postwhoring moments, gone forever.

My TPF wasn't working last night at all. Was this place down for a while ?

I have no idea. I closed my laptop around 10:30 last night and did an in-depth study of the inside of my eyelids for the next many hours.

I'm really having a hard time following your usa 20/20 vision way of saying or something... obviously I know what's 20/20 but have troubles with the rest

No. I was in and out of here until about oh-one-hundred and it seemed to be working.
