Laser Eye Correction

hi,

i wonder if anyone here would be glad to share some experiences and advises on laser eye correction? i ever thought of going to an eye specialist to get one 'cos my eye power is quite high and wearing contacts just doesn't give me the pleasure 'cos there's just lots of irritations and eye tiredness.

tks a lot! :)

    Hey, I wear contact lenses and have thought about laser eye surgery but: It's really expensive, and can make your vision worse. But that said it's probably worth it as one payment and your fixed for ages and don't have to pay for glasses etc. If you have it done though make sure you check out whoever's doing it cos you don't want some dodgy back ally dude let loose on your eyes. Apart from that I don't see why not.

    Don't you have to be a certain age before you can have laser eye surgery? Last I heard, it was 30, because your eyes are still "growing" until then. You might grow into your sight depending on whether you are far sighted or near sighted. I don't know how accurate that is, but I'd talk to an optometrist before deciding to do it.
