And the receptionist is wearing glasses. Somehow I don't think this is good pr.

I am not sure how I feel about laser treatment, and have decided not to explore my feelings on the subject either.

So instead, I'm posting a survey!

1. Do you wear glasses or contacts?


Yes. Well, mostly contacts.

Should you?


Most definitely.

2. How bad/good is your eye sight?


-6D on both eyes, roughly.

3. Would you ever consider getting your eyes lasered?


I have considered it, and will most likely do it at some point.

4. Have you had laser surgery? Are you happy with it?


Nah. My mom did something like that, (inserting an exra lens or something) and she is very happy with the result. I imagine that the tech is better now than 10 years ago, too.

5. Would you be able to survive without glasses or contacts?


Eh. Maybe if I had my eyes lasered? :P

6. If you would get laser surgery, what would your reasons be?


It will be simpler. Also, I believe that in 5 or so years, it would also be cheaper.

One of my main reasons for getting surgery is that my eye sight is rather poor. If I ever get into an emergency situation without my glasses or contacts, I'm unlikely to be doing well.

I've read it destroys your night vision. Do you need to drive at night? *NM* - 24/06/2011 08:53:36 PM 503 Views
It can impact it (create halos), but not necessarily destroy it... - 24/06/2011 09:05:42 PM 999 Views
I drive at night, but I do have a little trouble with halos... - 24/06/2011 09:33:28 PM 1202 Views
To be fair, I've had that same problem with contacts. - 24/06/2011 09:45:34 PM 1092 Views
