Default RE: For those who are nearsighted

wife had em and used them....they work....she didn't like having to put them in at night as they are hard and hurt a little she said.....after awhile, the effects last longer too..like if you do it for a few weeks, you may be able to go 2 days without putting them in at night....

either way, they do work....she did still end up getting lasik because it's easier and permanent

I've heard from doctors that refractive correction surgery (LASIK), will actually screw you when your eye starts losing its ability to focus at age 40, they say us nearsighted people are able to read a lot more comfortably once Presbyopia sets in than those who got it corrected permanently

Man, if I could afford it I would be all over LASIK...don't you have to have minor corrective surgery every few years after LASIK though?
