Glasses, Contact Lenses
1I don't wear em but my wife and kid do. The idea of accomplishing anything without first putting on your glasses is detrimental. No? Anybody got an extra pair ready for action?

I watched from then next room while my father went through it. Prep took some time, but the actual surgery was over in literally minutes once they got him in the chair.bigmike0301 wrote:I was told I should consider cataract surgery.
I had it 5 years ago. Nothing to it. It's bloodless surgery. They make a microscopic incision in your lens capsule, liquify the lens with ultrasound and suck it out, then slide the new lens in through the same little incision and position it. Total in-office time was about an hour and a half. Surgery time maybe ten minutes. About a week's recovery to full vision. Both eyes done two weeks apart. Get your eye doc to certify as medically necessary - in other words it's gotten so bad that glasses won't correct it- and health insurance will pay for it. Otherwise you'll be out at least 2-3K per eye.bigmike0301 wrote:I was told I should consider cataract surgery.

2, absolutely blind without my glasses. Mine are featherweight and they're close to a 1/4" thick. I can use them to focus the sunlight into a powerful beam to slay mine enemies.Sonofagun wrote:I don't wear em but my wife and kid do.

Depends on how bad the vision is along with some other factors, but anywhere from 1k per eye up to 2k or so. I shopped around a lot and found a well reviewed dr with lots of local patients, cost about 3k for both eyes.Dropbear wrote:Out of curiosity, how much does LASIK really cost?
I have pretty fucked-up vision in my right eye, whole my left eye is good. I could wear a contact or a monocle, but I usually get by with Rx sunglasses and a stupid sense of vanity.
