I've only ever heard good things about it - so hopefully you shouldn't have a problem

Well it has small risks, just as any procedure does. I've heard that it stings for a little bit but it isn't too bad. Good luck!

My neighbour had one eye done on the National Health - he was so impressed he paid to have the other one done - he keeps telling me to have it done but I am a chicken when it comes to eyes - I couldn't even cope with putting contacts in - one morning it took me 20 minutes just to get one in - I gave up !!!!

Good luck with it Dugy - you wont "look" back !!!!

My husband had one eye done 15 years ago and had the other done this year, my daughter also had it this year, both said its the best thing they ever did.

I don't understand the problem with wearing glasses TBH, I'd rather wear glasses than risk being blinded by being blasted in the eye with a Star Wars-esque ray gun

it may be being put on hold... its a car or eye surgery..

pumpkin pie... i am a very very confident person when not wearing my glasses and in contact lenses and i like myself without glasses... when i am wearing them i am not very confident at all and seem more shy and dont like myself atall.. this is not vanity... i beleive that the key to life is understanding and knowing how to love yourself.. if that means risking (a 5% chance) of blinding myself than to be honest its a risk i am willing to take!!!

so.. its a toss up between a car and eyes.... im sooo confused... got till next week to think and im gunna make my desicion.....

hmmm!

Fair enough then, it's down to personal choice

How much does it cost? £2000 or so?
