Heid, I was the same re contact lenses - i said i would NEVER wear them as touching my eyes made me feel sick! But then it became second nature.

Robert/Tracey - Seriously , if I had to have it done again, I wouldn't hesitate - I'd be straight there!!

As for the cutting on the eye, you see something, but your vision is so blurred, you are not sure what you are seeing - and u cant feel it anyway.

The Halo is a common 'short term' side effect, but can be long term for some people - even then, they now have new technology to cure it

I'm paying £19 a month for extended wear lenses (I put them in at the start of the month & don't take them out at all for a month)

Reminds me of last year, I was using daily disposables and the optician recommend I go on to extended wear weeklies. Joy, I thought, put them in at the start of the week and whip them out at the end - voila - 24hr vision. I got a one week trial (sat to sat) and it was the thursday before I read the instructions and noticed you were meant to take them out each night and dispose of them after a week. I'd been squirting the bottle of liquid in my eyes in the morning when my eyes felt sticky and wondering why the optician had given me a contact lens case

Ding,

I don't have any issue with halo's now.. I would suggest the summer to get it done ...especially if you drive a lot ...

Long summer nights mean that if you get it done early in the season, it won't an issue by the time the nights draw in.

Car headlights were a problem for me for a while. My first purchase was a pair of very nice sunglasses for two reasons:
1. Never been able to wear them before.
2. I bloody needed them <g>.

I can't explain how good it feels to have perfect eyesight. Actually my eyesight is officially 15/20 which is better than perfect.

Glad it went well for you Paul. Fortune favours the brave as they say.  My brother has been thinking about this also for a very long time.  I will show him your post.

Very good to meet you at Cardiff, we were in great company for breakfast weren't we?

Maria (forgive me if the name is wrong, I have a TERRIBLE memory for names DOH)

Yes the breakfast was very good company, the likes of Tikay, Tom, Jullian.

Still best quote was from Tom "I have a bladder the size of an egg cup"

and also "thats not gravy is it? It's more like a stain on the plate" - again Tom

The Microlite story was also a good un!

Well, day3 and my left eye now feels really good, just like my right eye did yesterday. However, my right eye now feels strange (just as my left eye did yesterday)

Great thread M3!

I wonder how many people out there are thinking of doing this? (And here was me thinking I was in a minority). I was also worried about the possibility of complications; it's a very natural fear, I suppose - the logic of "Well, as bad as my eyesight is, at least I CAN see... sort of..." tends to hold sway, for me, anyway.

Please keep us posted on the progress, eye surgery is definitely on my list of things I would do if I could afford it.

I'm glad you have given us a first hand account of the mechanics of medical mincer manipulation,

It's something one of my daughters has been considering for a while

I will show her this thread Paul, it's been a real eye opener

Well , both eyes feel ok now - and th slight blurry vision of my right eye has gone.

It is only 2 days after the operation, and I can see.

Drove for the first time today - no problem.

It still feels a bit uncomfortable, best described to those who wear contact lenses - it is like i have had contact lenses in far too long, you know that sticky feeling?

I can honestly say, if anyone is thinking of having it doen - GO FOR IT!!!

If I hadnt worn contact lenses before, and just wore glasses, the feelings I have now that I CAN see would be FAR FAR greater. Like I said, at the moment, it feels like I am still wearing contact lenses.

Even saying this, the feeling of being able to see when I wake up is fantastic!!
