Me, cos I'm fucking blind as fuck .. Can't wear contacts , tried loads and just can't abide them ... Makes playing football a real pain as I can't head the ball properly either

Laser suregery? I know it's expensive but if I needed to and could afford it I would.

rs_turbo_ant

i wear glasses im blind as a bat want some contacts but dont want to be poking my eyes and laser eye would love it but you seen how they do it no thanks

pau1rs

i got contacts,, and glasses,, blind fooker is me....

XRdodgybird

I got both, depends what I am doing as to what I wear...

Shandy-Ade

I wear glasses all the time, contact lenses if i'm out on a night out, i've been for loads of conultations for laser but neither company can gurantee that it will work so sod that.

kiddie

My dog broke my glasses a good six months ago, I need to go and get some more

foreigneRS

i wear either - both would be worse than not wearing any

by the way, if you have dodgy eyes you can see better underwater. but put goggles on and contact lenses in and it goes shit again

GavStyli

i wear both, blind without as im -7.5 in each eye need to save money to do lazer as its fustrating most of the time

Contacts +2.25 and +2.5

Red16

I wear both... contacts for work and general socialising, but give my eyes a rest from them and wear my newly acquired spec's in the house. My eyes arent too great with my -3.25 prescription for each eye.

Sights better with glasses than contacts as i have a slight astigmatism in one eye

that is a pretty strong prescription

smitsturbo

had glasses for the last year or so, cant beleive ive missed so much but i realy want laser eye treatment this year

Aye aye specky.

Red16

know what you mean, when you first get them its like going into High Definition but in real life

FastFordChris

wear glasses most of the time, i can see without them but i struggle read things from a distance without them, i can actually see better with contact lense, tho i can only year them for a certain amount of time as they sufficate my eyes

BM08

specs here, about 5 years ago i could get away with not wearing them out and on the pc, but now i cant see fck all without them on

My prescription i just dug out and it says.........

R SPH -5.00 AXIS 45
L SPH -4.75 AXIS 75

Does that mean anything? im thinking minus is short sight and + is long sight?

DaveZS

I thought i was blind

Mine are -3.25 in both eyes. Always wondered what the scale went up to. But yea, the - is short, and the + is long sighted

Im on the 30day contacts that you leave in constantly and only change 12x a year. Life changing for me.

BM08

Well im not the worst in this thread so i dont feel to down hearted

Not many + people about then ??

As for lenses, same as Stu 24/7 for 1 month.

Not a single problem once I had found the correct manufacturer. Cant feel a thing.

That took 6 months of visits to the opticians though with items being imported from everywhere.

Always had 20/20 vision up until mid 30's then close up things started to get blurey. Got to a point where I couldnt read the print in a newspaper so went and did something about it.

got laser eye surgery 18months ago Ł2000 job done in 5min,eye sight now minted and no issues

BM08

Thats great but it doesnt last forever does it, you will need it doing agian at some point

iTrader: (5)

even if i get 20 years and it starts to deteriate again its not going to go bang and be back the way they were,it took 20 years of slowly getting worse so it will prob be same again


glasses and lenses Ł250

contacts Ł20 a month

x 20 years roughly

BM08

I didnt think it lasted that long, if it does then yeah course its worth it

I wear daily disposables every day -1.00 and -1.25. Been wearing them about 9 months now with no problems.

BM08

Thats not too bad though, id think you can read the pc screen at normal distance without your lenses, right?

Where as with me, if i look over the top of my specs i cant see bugger all

Shandy-Ade

I'm + 5.00 in left & +5.50 in right thats why they cant gurantee laser

BM08

so you can read your pc screen from like 12 feet away?

Anonymous

Im not bad without, its more at night time when driving i need them.

NUTS RuS

iTrader: (35)

What PC screen ??

But its true for + people laser is quite a bit more of a risk apparently

Shandy-Ade

I wish mate, i'm so blind it's unbelievable, even when i went for laser consultations they told me i was just on the driving limit

BM08

BM08

But things should look clearer for you the further you are away?

Like even my sig if i take my specs off the GTi bit is blurry and its HUGE text

smitsturbo

this day in age the equipment has got even more sophisticated so the chances of something going wrong are like 1 in every 10,000 or something.
im definatly considering it this year

BM08

i just dont like the sound of them scraping the surface of my eye's off, its not natural is it

cant be doing anything for your eyes either, long term
