Hers is due to scare tissue or something like that. I've hear that about the dry-eye. That's what worries me. <br /><br />Dreamybee: You should see me at the eye doctors office. I feel bad for the people that have to help me with frames. I feel like I should biuy them some kind of gift for putting up with me. <br /><br /><br />Dawn: Thanks. It can be a pain. You get used to them in some way, but there is always some kind of irritation.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03125852166745378716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7777900991557618049.post-88342677468090990962009-06-10T23:21:44.772-05:002009-06-10T23:21:44.772-05:00I have tried to wear glasses for a minor near-sigh...I have tried to wear glasses for a minor near-sightedness, but I can't bear them. Even so, I have never thought about how inconvenient it would be to have them all the time. Things like not being able to wear sunglasses, not liking the transition lenses, ruining the only pair you have. Your post has been (pardon the pun) an "eye opening" read! :DDawn Allynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05888092837979990597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7777900991557618049.post-24831309048804709282009-06-10T21:19:32.742-05:002009-06-10T21:19:32.742-05:00I'm so with you on the eye thing!

Part of the problem is that even if they look cool in the store, they never look as cool with my quarter-inch lenses in them. =( (Okay, I actually just pulled out a ruler, and they are just over an 1/8" thick, but still.) And LASIK--Yeah, I know. Everyone's always telling me how safe it is, how millions of successful surgeries have been done, how much they love it, etc., etc., but it's my eyes! I could handle a screw up on something cosmetic, but if they screw up my eyes...Dreamybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274518106482632672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7777900991557618049.post-92191726172734472832009-06-10T15:07:30.625-05:002009-06-10T15:07:30.625-05:00I thought about this topic myself.

I have the opposite problem from you - I can't get strong enough vision correction with glasses, so I HAVE to wear contacts. <br /><br />I'm not a LASIK candidate, either, but my husband had it done shortly before I met him, and he's been very happy with it. If you have dry-eye problems, though, it could make them worse for awhile - it did with him.<br /><br />And those transition lenses are bogus - you're right about them never getting light enough inside. There are always clip-on sunglasses, though...yeah, I know, they're in the same league as pocket protectors :-).Florindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09789402061034734894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7777900991557618049.post-53913324550890487042009-06-10T02:40:19.285-05:002009-06-10T02:40:19.285-05:00I don't blame you a bit for not being comforta...I don't blame you a bit for not being comfortable with the idea of LASIK. I don;t think I could do that, even if I were a good candidate for it, which I'm not. (Another) good post!Karen Funk Blocherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860091802901743222noreply@blogger.com
