the eyes have had it
by Jon on Dec.07, 2009, under Babble, Life
I got glasses when I was 14 or so, and I hate Hate HATED them. I got contacts after about a month, and haven’t owned or wore a pair of glasses in the 20+ years since.
Well, now I’m finally getting my eyes zapped this month. Because contacts still suck, even though they suck considerably less, and because lasers are cool. Except that now I’ve got to wear glasses again for the next couple of weeks before the procedure.
And I still hate them every bit as much as did the last time. The heavy clunky feeling on my face, the fishbowling around the edges, the dizziness if I turn my head too fast — crap, I don’t know how you regular wearers put up with it.
These are gonna be a long couple of weeks.

You’re brave. Good luck!

Ya know, I only got glasses a couple of years ago, and as I have a hard time even using eye drops, contacts are right out. I actually don’t mind glasses, being pleased enough to see fine detail at a distance to forgive the inconvenience.
I certainly hope the zapping goes smoothly.

Yeah, despite my whining, glasses are certainly better than going around blind (and blind I would be … forget fine detail at a distance, I can’t so much as read a monitor at more than 8 inches or so away)

Thnx a lot for your superb topic close to this post. I couldn’t get such kind of dissertation idea in web and wanted to order the dissertation. But, I have got a required material now.

It’s weird when you get spam that you sort of appreciate, as if it were some sort of living-pop-art representation of itself. Yes! it does suck that you “couldn’t get such kind of dissertation idea in web”. Life is tragic, my friend — that’s why we have operas. And romantic comedies. Don’t worry, my spam-algomrithmic friend, I’m sure if that if you’re cute enough, and spunky enough, and give proper props to the sky king or prophet fog du jour, you’ll “get such kind of dissertation idea in web”" as you never dreamed. Complete with virgins, or cloud-sofa-lute-lounges, or whatever it is they have on the menu these days.
