	Ooooooh cool. Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

Got me new eyeglasses today.

Of course he looks gay. I look far better than him with the glasses.

They also have those neat shades which attach with little magnets on the eyeglasses. So neat

Very good. Accept the aging process in stride.

Why didn't you just have your eyes fixed with laser surgery? I had that done a few months ago and I am completely staggered with how great it is!

Not everyone is a good candidate for laser surgery.
Me, for example.
Astigmatism in one eye is my only problem.
Laser is no good for that condition.

Not to mention that laser surgery goes wrong from time to time and 20 years ago there advising having yours eyes cut manually and there all going blind now.

Good for you!

Not for me thanks

I don't have much myopy just 1 and 2 degrees and I wouldn't feel at ease tampering with my eyes. AFAIK There are some potential drawbacks in lazer surgery, like seeing a faint glow on the optical periphery of the eye at night, having some problems if your eyes re-change shape (which they will do as you get older etc) and the worse of all: the detachment of the amphivlistroeidous (dont know the name in english). Luckily those chances are not applicable to you.

Sloww: It used to be that they couldn't fix astigmatism but that is sorted now. My eye (I only had one done) was partly astigmatic and now it is completely fixed.

Paik: When they do the laser surgery they are limited by the size of the laser they can use, so that they can only change the shape of the 'centre' part of your eye surface.
The glow or halo at night is caused but your pupil dilating so much that some of the light is coming from the untreater part of your cornea. But now they have lasers which will fix the shape right out to larger anglular distances, so this isn't a problem anymore.

Also, for many people the eye changing shape in later years is not a problem, because you can just have your eye recut. It used to be that the cutting (they cut away a layer of your cornea) was severe enough that it could only be done once. Now they are good enough to make the cut really shallow. I was told that they could do the operation they did up to 30 times on the same eye. This is of course less if you have a particularly thin cornea (I have a particularly thick one).

To anyone with glasses, I would heartily recommend at least checking this out.

Astigmatism correctable ??





Wait a second. It makes me nervous just combing my hair.
Guess I'll down a quaalude, and they can prop my eyes open.

Are these your glasses Paiktis?

If so, they're cool. Mine are a similar style.

FP that's them.


I used to wear contacts, now I don't feel like bothering with them. Handy when you play sports though.

You're right, but I think its due to the glasses.

Between the risks of surgery, and the number of times my glasses have kept something pointy from going in my eye, I think I'll keep my glasses, thanks.

I love my glasses, but I think I'll go surgery when I'll be thirtysomething. That is, if I can afford it of course

Yeah I saw that those glasses are for 30somethings in the ad in the internet afterwards although I just picked them up because I liked them and because of the cool magnetic shades clip.

My friends tell me I look sweet with those glasses and so I'll fool those who don't know me

Interesting. Astigmatism can be partially correctable through laser surgery.

I've got glasses, though I usually wear contacts for meetings, etc, anywhere I want to look really nice.
