I"ve know more than a few people that have done it and they all love it, at least for the time being. As for me I"m nearsighted and in the neighborhood of -4.75 in one eye and -5.75 in the other and have had glasses or contacts for nearly 30 years. Heck I"m used to them by now. I asked my eye doctor about lasik the other day and was told that at my age (39) and being nearsighted it wasn"t really worth it. Since as a mechanic I tend to work alot close up and was told that because of the way"s the eye typically ages within a few years I"d probably be back in glasses anyway, especially for closeup work. That being the case, to me, it just isn"t worth spending the money and taking the chance of having problems when I have no problems with the contacts I wear now. Don"t know if your wearing contacts now but I"ve worn a couple of the different styles of the Accuvue brand for nearly 15 years years and loved them. Recently had a problem that the doc said was due to lack of sufficient oxygen reaching the eye even though the lenses were designed to let the oxygen through. She changed my prescription to a new brand called Night and Day that are designed for up to 30 days wear without removal. It took me a few days for my eyes to adjust to the new lenses but now I"ve had a pair in for nearly 3 weeks and I can"t tell their on my eyes. I love them. Their a little over twice as expensive as the others but considering the comfort and extended wear time it"s worth it. The main thing is to talk to a trusted doctor and get an honest answer on what the benefits and problems will be and make a decision based on that. By the way my doctor is an extreemely attractive woman about my age and she wears glasses. She always wears the stylish frames and really knows how to make a pair of glasses look good. Good luck whatever decision you make.
