Is there really no Tuesday thread yet?

Well Today I am thinking about calling to see about lasik. It would save so much money for us in the long run. I have no astigmatisms or anything like that, but my vision is -4.00 I can't imagine what it would be like to wake up and be able to see first thing in the morning!

Morning everyone! Hope everyone has a great day. I feel completely exhausted. I look forward to sleeping on my stomach again. Only weeks away. I had lasik done and have been thrilled with the results. I maed sure the doctor I used was a cornea specialist. It was very quick and painless. The results were immediate. When I came out I sat down and looked over at my g-ma who was talking to me and I was able to read the clock in the other room, which I was not able to do prior. I say go for it. But make sure you are educated about it and that you have a reputable (sp) doctor. Most who have lasik will eventually need reading glasses and possibly a touch up. Well, off to finish the cleaning and packing.

Wised,

I've been looking at it for some time because I'm pretty blind I can't read the computer screen without my glasses/contacts unless I get really close! I once made the mistake 2 prescriptions ago, and left the house without anything, got in the car, and drove... about 20 feet until i realized I could not see the lines on teh road or where the road and teh grass began/ended! I was like #######! I stopped the car and ran back home. The idea of just needed reading glasses at some point sounds fabulous! I am a totally non-functional individual as far as sight as it is! I know poeple who had it done who were worse than me, and they love it.

How much does lasik cost normally? I know someone who went to Canada to get it done. I'm blind as a bat as well, but I don't know what my script is. Would it be engraved on my glasses at all?

Nothin' much going on here today. Weather is like spring and is supposed to be in the 50/60 range all week. I wish it would stay this way till summer!!!!

I only have positive things to say about. Like I said, I saw immediate results and it was great not having to get up and do the whole contact thing. Added additionl sleep time in the morning. I think is was only a couple of days before I was driving again. I had it done 4 yrs ago and since I am pregnant, can't tell if the pregnanct is playing with my eye sight or if I need to go back for a touch up. I will know in a few weeks. Good luck with it. You won't be dissapointed.

Hey, that posts gave me my first heart! Yeah for me. lol.

Bridget-- I'm not sure because it seems to vary by location. We have a nationally reputable place here that I think is about $900/eye (so 1800). The thing is for me, I spend about $300/year on visits and contacts, and if I need glasses you can just bump that to about $450. So for me, I'm looking at a 6-year payback.

Your script won't be on your glasses. You can just call your optometrist and ask.

I was wondering if increased blood pressure (like from pregnancy) would cause problems. I know some people who got even better than 20/20 vision-- I can't even imagine! Also would be looking forward to no contact-induced dry-eye. Ahhhh.

Hi all!

Happy Tuesday.

Hope yall are good.

4 more days til im in NY. 3 more days left here.

Went for an ultrasound today.......pictures arent clear these days cause we gotta do them outside, and i got tummy fats so we gotta wait til im further along to get better pictures.

But the dr(this is the 4th confirmation, 3rd different dr, and we didnt tell the other 2 what my dr had said about gender) that we are indeed having a BOY. George isnt convinced, but the drs know what they are talkin about, and it hasnt just been one thats said it. so im confident. He will be happy either way. As will I.

Baby is growing on schedule and weighs about 8oz right now. Wow half a pound.

Sorry to bore those that dont care

Hope i get to chk in again before i leave, but the rest of the week will be busy...and im not even packed yet. i only have 1/4 of the stuff i need packed. FUN. lol

Me too I think lasik would be worth it and have wanted it for some time.... I am seriously considering it since I've been in gas permeable contacts since I was 11yrs old. I have reallly bad eye sight

Polar--same here-- not contacts, but I got glasses when I was 7. I didn't wear them except in class (I hate glasses) and once I was older-- 16-- I got contacts and it was amazing to be able to see.
