Laser eye treatment
Laser eye treatment
I had my left eye treated in 2001 and this past year or so, my vision has gradually gotten worse again. I am going to have to get glasses for driving watching tv etc.. Anyone else had their eye/eyes lasered and now find it is failing? I wonder if it's just age?
P.S I only got one eye done because my prescription wasn't that bad. Plus it saved me about £500 at the time.

i had my eyes done over ten years ago and i'm still far from needing glasses but my vision is getting worse. i seem to be farsighted now and before surgery i was nearsighted.

I've considered it but this kind of talk makes me not want to do it. It's not that hard to slap a contact in each morning and see perfectly all day.

Same here... I have a 40" LCD and even when I'm 2 meters away from it I can't see small bits of text and stuff like that. I do wear glasses to drive and to watch TV.hokahey wrote:I've considered it but this kind of talk makes me not want to do it.

Sad but true. Not needing glasses has been a point of pride for me (because I consider my positive attributes based on what I'm not: short, fat, bald, etc.)
I was very disappointed to discover I'll lose my 20/20 vision in my 40's...
Re: Laser eye treatment

Re: Laser eye treatment
Indeed. For the best part of the last 10 years my vision has been great because of surgery. Now I'm getting oldcreep wrote:getting my eyes done was the best thing i ever did. would recommended it to anyone. i'm still far from needing glasses.

Re: Laser eye treatment
It's weird, my vision's actually steadily improved the past few years. I've been nearsighted since my 20's, so I usually wear glasses when driving, watching tv, movies, concerts, etc. Despite the inconvenience of glasses, I've never had a desire to get laser surgery.
I will say when I did hyperbaric oxygen therapy with my son (sitting with him on one of those big pressurized dive tanks) for two months in '03, it *really* fucked up my vision for about 6 months.
