Perfect Eyesight, Spectacle, Contact Lenses and Laser Treatment!

Hi Iriene, I have tried both glasses and contact lenses but the latter can be such a nuisance, dropping them when trying to put them in, having to take them out at night when you are too tired, one falling out in a public place. I gave up and went back to glasses . I used to want to have the laser treatment when I first read about it and it was a new treatment but nothing came of it and then I heard if you are really short sighted it doesn't work longterm. i don't like to wear glasses but nowadays there is a much better choice so I can find something which looks good.

Hi Iriene :-) I consider myself lucky that I have perfect eyesight. On my fathers side of the family every single member of the family wears glasses. Although a few only need glasses to read or drive. I must take after my mothers side of the family as my mother is the only one who wears glasses. Don't worry some people my father included actually suit wearing glasses. Perhaps you are one of these people. Infact I often like trying on my aunts glasses as they actually suit me. Infact I actually considered purchasing a pair without lens and just plastic/glass to wear. There is something about wearing glasses that exude intelligence even though we all know logically this is impossible. The first day my mother wore glasses she was amazed at how differently people treated her. However I do know how hard it can be living with glasses. My father has always been a keen sportsman and I've often watch him struggle to get his contacts in before a soccer match. Often they irritate his eye, get stuck in his eye or get lost if his drops them. Laser treatment certainly is an interesting option and I actually know of quite a few people who have successfully had this operation done. If you can get on with your life wearing glasses and contact lens with ease then their is no point of getting the surgery done but if you find it a hassle laser surgery certainly sounds like an option to ponder over.

Hi Iriene, I'm farsighted and I use reading glasses, the optometrist said it can still can be corrected. I don't use it everyday, only when I really can't decipher letters of printed materials, otherwise, I still prefer to use bare eyes. I had a new pair of glasses as the old one seem to give me headaches lately. I hope it can still be corrected so I won't have to use permanent glasses or contact lenses. Have good day and happy myLotting!

I'm wearing contacts. I wish to do the laser treatment but was told that I must not get pregnant for the next 6 months. That I cant guarantee so I'll just have to wait until I stop production. Till then, contacts it is. I just want the feelings of waking up with clear vision! Sigh...

Dear Iriene88, I have been wearing glasses for more than 40 years. I am quite happy with it...the only setback is when I am going for swimming, I need to remove it.. I was thinking of getting a powered goggles.. I did consider laser treatment but somehow or rather I have been postponing it... Tks & happy myLotting!

I feel that spectacles are best till u have a laser operation done.I myself wear spectacles and waiting for time to get the laser operations done.

i wear glasses too.. i keep thinking of getting contact - but i am really lazy to take care of them, and the disposable ones are still quite expensive for my budget.. my good friend also had laser treatment some eight years ago, and she's been free from wearing glasses or contact since then - she suggested laser treatment to me too, but since i cant even afford contact lenses - how could i possibly afford laser treatment ?

I had perfect eyesight until I tried on someone else's glasses. Now that same person has great vision, after laser eye surgery, and I am in glasses. I really like my glasses and have never worn contacts, they just seem so unnatural to me. I will stick with glasses, but it is a pain to go to fancy outing and to go without eye glasses for some pictures so that I'm more visible. But I take great pictures with r without glasses, but I prefer without.

I wear spectacles everyday. I always wish to have a perfect eyesight so that I can say BYE BYE to my spectacles. Until I come across the advance tecnology for having the laser treatment so you will have correct your eyesight to perfect. I think for getting this treatment before. But I still need to check in details to see if there is any sight effects and also need to save money for this laser treatment.

I wear glasses.I prefer laser treatment, but it very expensive. Contact lenses? No. Putting contact lenses onto my eyes is a hassle. I tried a sample once, it is an ordeal trying to put the contact lenses onto my eyes, so give up. Go back to glasses even though quite often I have to look for my glasses when I need them. Misplace of glasses happen to me and my wife too.

I wouldn't say it is a perfect eyesight for my eyes, however I am just glad I do not need the 'extra' accessories as yet. I don't really enjoy having the specs as I am not a very 'hardworking' person to handle all this. I will hope very much that I don't want to have this with me.. but I don't think I can as my family members are all either short sighted to long sighted...
