Eye health

You wear hard lenses? I couldn't imagine ever wearing those.

For some reason I feel more comfortable with my glasses on. I guess I like having something to hide behind.

I have rigid gas permeable lenses. They're not as hard as the hard lenses, not near as soft as the soft lenses, and they're small like the hard ones. I remember it was a bit uncomfortable when I first got them, but it didn't take long at all to get used to them. I wouldn't ever want to have to wear glasses instead of contacts.

Girls become 10X more attractive when they wear glasses. Not sure why I find this to be true.

As far as I know, simple LASIK couldn't cure my vision problem, since much of it actually involves the musculature that controls my vision's alignment. This is also why I can't consider contact lenses. I'm bespectacled for life.

Good thing I like how I look in glasses. ; Got some spiffay new almost-rimless frames now too.

well, I guess another 5 years or so won't kill anybody. I can wait that long to get zapped.

I had a good buddy in highschool who wore hard lenses. he got in a fight with his brother one night, and the brother hucked a spoon at him. hit him right in the eye and shattered the lense. Pj said he never remembered saying as many swear words in front of his mother before or since. his eyes are ok now, though, far as I know. haven't seen him in 4 years, though.

my good friend Jamie says I look much better without my glasses. my wife agrees with her. as does my little sister. 3 people whose opinions I trust agree.

apparantly, one doctor thinks I have a slight astigmatism. the other one doesn't, but this one does. so he says contacts would be exceeding expensive.

and I'm poor.
but not for long!

One of my profs had it done and he said he can see better and doesn't need glasses anymore but his night vision has degraded.

One of my friends had it done and had a little trouble seeing for the few weeks after the surgery; after that he could see excellently.
