Commented on Lasik: is it worth $6000?
A lot of people have had good look with Lasik, including my mother. Unfortunately, I was not one of those lucky people. It's been 3+ years and I still see double images with each eye but can minimize them by...
Commented on Death row Inmates' last words

I too know several people who've been laser-corrected and still need glasses. What's worse, they can't wear contacts due to having had the surgery. To me, the nuisance, discomfort, and cost of contacts is minimal when weighed against the value of an irreplaceable organ....

I like my glasses. I've had a long and productive relationship with them. If they break, I can fix them with electrical tape, and... Get off my lawn! Now when I can swap out eyes for every occasion I'll be happy to reconsider....

Being as I pretty much have one good eye (I can see with both, but one is dominant due to ambliopia in the other) my eye doc says I'm better off with glasses - not just due to that 5% risk of failure, but also because having physical eye protection at all times isn't a bad thing.

I've been considering eye surgery of some kind for over a decade, but for the moment I'm on the side of "No surgery". This may change again in another few years of course, I keep waffling. I'm legally blind without my glasses. With my glasses, I do not get 20/20 vision, but it's "good enough" for my sedentary lifestyle. I've been wearing glasses since I was 6, and I actually have deformations in the bones behind my ears the shape of eyeglass arms. I've worn contacts intermittently, but with my allergies I get itchy watery eyes and contacts just sort...
