If you had a chance would you take a laser surgery to improve you sight?
I would. Even if Im used to glasses, afterall Im wearing them for 28y now. But would still wanna get rid of them. And if I had guts and money to go through with this I would.
How about you?

If I had the cash I would do it in a second. Getting the laser surgery saves so much money over the years. If you think about buying contacts, getting a yearly eye exam, and buying new glasses. For me the exam is 89, contact run about $200/year, and if I get a new pair of glasses every year (which I don't because my eyes haven't changed in 10 years) that would be an easy $100.

I think the kind I wear are $18 for a 6 pack and you are suppose to throw them away each week. I wear mine up to a month - maybe longer, but I clean them every night.

I am still not sure WHY ins companies will not pay for lasik or other BETTER procedures that are longterm best solutions. If insurance paid for it, I would look into it. My eyes are not perfect but they are good enough to get away with not doing anything. I just hope by the time I actually need to do something, lasik will be covered somewhat. It comes down to money for me I guess, I would not be afraid of it because it is very quick, not painful, and is permanent. No scars either.

Well, I have been wearing glasses for about 38 or so yrs. now. I would Love to have Laser surgery if I could. It is even getting a lot cheaper now, but I also know people that did it that it was only a temporary fix for them as well. But at one time I was told I was not a candidate so unless something changes, or I find some $$ I did not know about to ask more questions about it, I will have to settle for glasses as well.

There are also Night Conctacts. Contacts that you wear while you sleep, then you can watch normally like any other person at day. Maybe an alternative!
Thanks for the info, I'll look it up.

Well, i read on some medical websites that eye laser surgery is bad to do before person is 30yo. I dont know if its just a rumor but it makes sense. And i love to wear glasses, wouldnt do that surgery even if i got it for free
