What things bother you the most?

That too. But I'd rather get the new patch with a new prescription, eh

Yup. I've been recently going back and forth to my optometrist to get lenses that afford me clarity of vision and comfort...I've been to that office so many times in the last couple of months it's getting on my dayem nerves. :grumble:

Yikes. I hope this doesn't become my case. :sweat:

Have you ever considered getting your eyes corrected through the laser treatment?

I didn't wear contacts for 3 years after wearing them since I was a teenager and when I finally went back to have an eye exam...my prescription actually GOT WEAKER (i.e. better ~ for the first time in my life)...it's just that I have really minor astimagtism so it's tough to get something that affords me the clarity I'm looking for. My glasses are fine though. I was shocked my eye prescription got better...by two steps no less. I chalk it up to all the vitamins/supplements I take seriously. The optometrist even said even though I haven't seen you in 3 years he said my cornea is in better shape than it was the last time I was examined.

I thought about it...but I'm still a bit concerned about the side effects. Halos, night vision issues, and all that other BS. Plus for all that cash I would rather spend it on something else. I don't mind wearing lenses or glasses that much.

Maybe in the future.

My boss has had laser eye correction done. Twice.

And he still wears glasses :crazy:

Yea, I considered it for a bit as well, but decided against it for the very reasons you listed. I don't think it's worth it, and glasses - a GOOD pair - are fine, and one can always wear contacts.

We have a few patients who are "regulars" too and they're almost part of the family. :beaten: But I know what you mean about wanting the clarity. But for me, I'm not as picky because even if my astigmatism lenses go a little out of alignment, I'm cool with it. Only with the Acuvue Oasys ones though.

I wonder if he had the near & far lenses done. Or perhaps he only got the distance surgery and needs the glasses for reading. Even though many people get lasik surgery, they probably need glasses or contacts somewhere down the road because it's not an all-purpose cure. In any case, I still want it because I hate the glasses/contact lens thing, but my eyes are always changing so I can't get it. That, plus I'm cheap and don't want to pay for the surgery AND a damn plane ride. :grumble:

I see. I'll have to settle on something soon because I'm getting a bit tired of the constant visits. :sweat:

I've worn glasses since I was 14, even though I needed them for a few years before then. My parents are both also near-sighted, but not as bad as me. All my siblings have great vision and can see better than me with my glasses on. I have to go back to the eye doctor because it's been two years and I know I will need a higher prescription.

I can't wear contacts because my eyes built up a protein to reject them and then I had to take lots of eye drops to make it go away. I don't mind the glasses either. I think they're cute. I'm way too scared to get lasik and I have a feeling it probably won't last anyway since my vision continually gets worse. I know one girl my age who got it and it worked for her, but a friend of my dad also had it done and just ended up far-sighted. I'd rather at least be able to see near to me while I'm young before I lose that too.

True say. Everyone in my family wears glasses, tho I was the first and only for a while there. Shopping for frames is like shopping for shoes. Which for me sucks because I hate shopping. :beaten:

Trying to walk with a pinched nerve is no fun :puppydog: I can walk, but the sharp pain that comes every time I put weight on my left leg is annoying. The Advil isn't helping much, and I was told just to make sure I don't move around too much. I didn't come home for the weekend just to sit around. :grumble:

Awwww man, that sucks. I've never had a pinched nerve on my leg before, but I've had one between my shoulder blades, in my back. SO not fun.

Bad timing, too, eh? :patpat:

Wow, I had no idea there were so many glasses-wearing Jdorama members. I'm very short-sighted too. I've worn glasses since about age 14. I need to have another eye test as it's been nearly 4 years, and I think I need a slightly stronger prescription now.

For some reason, I'm most surprised to hear Tu wears glasses. :sweat: :hehe:

@ deseipher - ouch! I'm hoping it improves soon. :thumbsup:

Safe to say pinched nerves are no fun no matter where they occur. I would guess having a pinched nerve between your shoulder blades is more of a hassle. For me, I can sit if needed and still do a few things, but you must've had a harder time just turning around or lifting things.

Certainly bad timing, but I've managed for the most part. Just have to keep the little ones from running around too much :victory:

It's pretty much dead everywhere...I went to the shopping mall today and it was a ghost town!
