These ones don't but the down side is that they loving fall off my head if I turn my head down by more than a few degrees.

My experience with Lasik was a family member getting onboard early and having really long-term issues with one eye from it and is now is blind in that eye. I didn't know that last part until I watched them try to light a cake candle while holding the match like a foot away from it lol. I hope that tech has uhhh improved. I dont even know how much it costs

I wear glasses and have since I was like 16 and I’ve never not hated them. I am about halfway done saving up for Lasik. Even 10 years ago the technology was considered the Wild West and I earnestly believe all the horror stories from goons in the thread, but now in 2020 it’s one of the most common procedures available and it’s simply cost effective.

I will never need to repair or replace glasses or order bulk contacts ever again.

Sometimes I think about what it would be like to just wake up and have my eyes work, or not having to take my glasses off as they fog up from entering a hot room, or being able to see clearly even though it’s raining, and I literally cry from thinking how amazing it would be.

I cannot wait to take my glasses off and throw them in them in the trash forever.

I’m 31 now, if I can get 15-20 years of not having to wear glasses for like $600-$800 bucks that seems like the greatest deal of my life, but heck if even only lasts my 30s I’ll still consider it worth every penny.

But yeah seriously if you’re still buying glasses at a Brick & Mortar you are getting DRAGGED. Zenni optical is wear literally every single glasses wearer in Philadelphia buys their glasses because A) it’s super cheap and B) every glasses outlet in the city is all owned by one giant holding group so there really isn’t any difference it’s literally an optical monopoly.

As a glasses wearer, the only good thing about glasses is you can take them off dramatically and say "My GOD....." during tense situations. Being able to see is tangential

Sounds like either your nosepads aren't aligned correctly to your nose

Do it ironically posted:

I had a co worker who got Lasik done and it hosed up and he couldn’t produce tears anymore and he has to use drops the rest of his life

I’m probably ill informed but with lasik and PRK your eyes will still go bad at 60+ anyways, I have no desire to get either glasses don’t bother me and my prescription isn’t that bad

60? Try mid to late forties is when most folks start noticing it's harder to read. Which requires glasses, at the very least a set of readers. Or you could do CLs instead, bit that reading ain't never coming back compared to whatever your distance Rx is

I have contacts but I also have astigmatism so they contacts suck I’ll wear them for sports

Theyll go bad but you'll just need reading glasses instead of bifocals

I got lasik 6ish months ago and am very happy I did so. My eyes were dry and I had to use eye drops a ton the first few months while my eyes healed, but I'm down to once every few days now and will eventually stop needing them period. My eyesight is better than 20/20 now too, I didn't know they could do that.

I don't have a backup pair of glasses but I do have a bunch of contacts. I usually only wear my contacts when playing sports, but I suppose if my glasses broke I'd wear em if I had to until I got them fixed/replaced.

My contact prescription is stronger than my glasses prescription (by just a little bit) so I probably should eventually get these glasses replaced. Also one of the....arms(not sure what else to call them) is cracked and will probably eventually break from use.

Contacts are great if you like having to touch your loving eye twice a day.

two reasons i don't wear contacts:

1) they feel like wet plastic bags on my eyeballs
2) i take my glasses off to use my computer/read/do anything up close and i have a tech job

As a person who gets slapped in the head constantly I have to wear contacts that have a straps that go all the way around the eyeball. And not like an elastic band either, it's a sturdy leather belt with a steel buckle. A real bitch to secure every drat morning.

Just pop out your eyeballs in the morning and stick them into.miniature aquariums, it's so much simpler.

Some motherfuckers broke into my car. Among the stuff they stole, they took my prescription sunglasses. The one item that they cannot possibly use and won’t be worth a dime to anyone but myself.

That’s my glasses story.

Ah, yes. For me it was someone breaking into my car to steal backpack that was filled to the brim with all of my notes from my classes. I really hope they liked reading about the strength of weak ties.
