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


Oh, I understand there are very good and reasonable reasons. I just don't think that presentation wise, you'd want to put a woman with glasses at the reception of an eye laser clinic.

Yes, most of the time.


Me all the time. Well, unless I'm under the shower or in bed.

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.


Sounds like it's very minor. But certainly important, for someone who reads as much as you do.

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


Sounds easy to live with.

No. I like glasses.


Fair enough. What do you like about them?

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.


I've decided not to think about the idea of the laser on my eyes. Especially not now that I just got informed that most likely I'll have to get the most painful surgery with the longest recovery period.

I've read it destroys your night vision. Do you need to drive at night? *NM* - 24/06/2011 08:53:36 PM 364 Views
It can impact it (create halos), but not necessarily destroy it... - 24/06/2011 09:05:42 PM 732 Views
I drive at night, but I do have a little trouble with halos... - 24/06/2011 09:33:28 PM 893 Views
