Re: So I'm getting my eyes checked today to see if eye can get laser surgery Camilla Send a noteboard - 24/06/2011 12:07:25 PM
And the receptionist is wearing glasses. Somehow I don't think this is good pr.


They might be reading glasses only, or she could have eyes that were so far gone that laser surgery is not an option.

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, most of the time.

Should you?


I do not have to, but I do. I get headaches from reading if I don't. What I use is actually reading glasses, but I keep forgetting to take them off. Doesn't really matter, as I read all the time anyway.

2. How bad/good is your eye sight?


Quite good. I'm hypomyopic, (I don't remember the English word... farsighted? ... the opposite of myopic, anyway), only +0-75 or some such.

3. Would you ever consider getting your eyes lasered?

No. I like glasses.

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

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


Yes.

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

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.


That would have to be it. If my eyesight got so bad I could not function if someone accidentally broke my glasses. But the idea of a laser on my eyes scares me more than that hypothetical scenario, I think.
