You’re right. Wearing glasses is a minor pain sometimes but absolutely not enough to justify having someone carve around MY eyes with a laser. Hope it works out OK for those who have had it, but not for me.

I have perfect vision and i’m in my 40s. The doctor says I’m gonna need bifocals in about 2-3 years though...VERY far sighted but so far my eyes are able to adjust so I would never know I was far sighted without a doctor telling me so. The doctor put drops in my eyes once that paralyzed whatever muscle it is that corrects for far sightedness and WOW, WAS i BLIND! Couldn’t see anything closer than 30 feet.

I won’t get lasik. I’ll do just fine with bifocals. Or maybe I’ll just do like they did in the old days and read with a giant magnifying glass. In fact, after the drops the doctor gave me, that’s how I worked for a few hours. One hand on the keyboard and one hand holding a magnifying glass in front of the computer screen.
