pondering this


how does it feel when they are doing the surgery like do you literally feel the burning

you feel the suction when they hone in on your eye.

you hear the laser working for like 15 seconds per eye.

This fukking surgery is nothing.

I've never had major surgery (appendectomy, vasectomy:blessed:), but this is easier than getting stitches.

Easier that most routine dental appointments.

what's wrong with wearing glasses?

the whole idea doesn't even make sense to begin with because if you treat your eyes bad even if you get the surgery, you still gonna end up with bad vision then you're wasting your money. smh.

I heard of people having to go bakk years later to get it done again..and they have to pay for it again. :sadcam:

the only problem im having is that i wear my contacts so much and i doze off in them that im getting swollen corneas. :sadcam:
so its either the surgery or wearing my glasses more.

im having trouble giving up my contacts for glasses and im too p*ssy to do the surgery :sadbron:

im not trying to be a dikk here...but seriously...take em out. take em out when u get home...get in a habit of wearing ure glasses at night when ure loungin around

i could never get used to my glasses...and i look back at that now, and its cause i never wore them. I never really gave them a chance


but yea, sleepin in ure contacts is no good...i woke up hung over before, with my contacts in...took them out..and my eyes were so dry from sleeping and being hung over and dehydrated, i tore a piece of my cornea :merchant: it peeled off when with the contact, no shyt






just learn to wear ure glasses, and fukk the surgery

how old are you?

this is NOT middle school where people are going to make fun of you calling your four eyes and etc. how you sound being ashamed of wearing glasses because you're afraid of the way other people look at you? :comeon: seriously? :what: grow up. ain't nothing wrong with wearing glasses. i used to bellyache over that shyt in middle school like "i need glasses" when my vision went to shyt but i manned up and started rocking them in the 10th grade. i did myself injustice going outthere acting ashamed of wearing glasses because my vision got worse to the point where i couldn't see shyt. dunno about you BUT i would rather be wearing my glasses all the time being able to see and etc. having glasses is the shyt. even contacts ain't even worth it. fukk all that. is it really worth trying to look pretty for somebody else though?

you have all these willing to put their vision on the line just to look sexy and care about the bullshyt. for real, folks need to grow up.

What I hated the most about contacts was all the touching of the eye I had to do. Good riddance.

literally rip my shyt, when i took my contact out in the morning, it just took a piece of my eye with it...i wore the 2 week ones :comeon:

i wish i wouldve tried the daily ones before gettin the surgery, or tried some of the dry eye things i do now to see if that helped with my contact wear

They say after the surgery you will need reading glasses in your mid 40s...but shyt I was 23 when I got the surgery...20 years of not ever wearing glasses is worth it. Situational reading glasses don't sound bad to me at all.

pondering this


how does it feel when they are doing the surgery like do you literally feel the burning

No, because they numb your eyes. You see it, hear it, and smell it though.

You feel a slight burning tingling sensation like an hour afterwords which can last 5-15 hours depending on which surgery (blade-less option or full laser option, latter being the most accurate and quickest recovery). During that time frame it feels like you have sand in your eyes, your vision will look like beer goggles, and your eyes will constantly water. It is miserable, and like I said earlier, all you can do is just go to sleep or live your life like Stevie Wonder (sleeping helps recover faster of course).

I walked out the facility at 2pm, got a ride to a nearby hotel, tried to watch TV then quickly gave up :sadcam:, laid down and eventually fell asleep, woke up at 7:30 able to fukking see :blessed:, called over an ex to bring me food, ate and fukked all in one afternoon/evening

There are practical reasons for not wearing glasses as well. If you live an active lifestyle, glasses sliding/falling off are an annoyance. I couldn't go hard in a game of basketball without someone knocking my glasses off :shaq2:

Wearing a tool on your face to see everyday just to do daily tasks is essentially a handicap....

I like wearing glasses. I wanna get a new pair. Plus my contacts + that BioTrue = :lawd:

Women who see a built dude in dope frames be like :noah:.

:to: but at some point in my life I'll be able to afford the $KKKKK and get them done. :manny:

This is how i feel. I think i look better with glasses, but it would be nice not worrying about glasses when swimming or trying to find my glasses after a late night when i come home drunk and pass out on my floor.

I got it done.
@a murda - if you're from chicago, you might want to consider heading two-hours west to Rock Island, IL.

They got a Lasik doc that is supposedly top 5 in the nation.

Well Damn:leon:. Im gonna remember this when i look into this later in the year.

Like I said, most places will do the consultation free, so I highly advice anyone interested to do a little research on the company/surgeon and then schedule a consultation to see what your options are, payment plans, etc...Some insurances may even cover it.. Even if it was over $5000 I would still do it.

It was the best purchase I ever made by far

I'm going to do it. It almost feels like my natural sight has gotten worst wearing glasses.
