Laser Eye Treatment

Pete, a mate of mine over here got it done and he reckons it was the best thing he ever did. Don't think there was too much pain as he's not the bravest bloke you'll ever meet but the best money he ever spent. Not sure how expensive it was either but as it was done over here that info wouldnt be any good to you unless you're gonna fly over for the op.

Impotence; nature's way of saying no hard feelings!

Pete...my brother-in-law had really bad eye sight. He got the laser treatment done and said it's great. It wasn't painfull and they only do one eye at a time. He got it done in the Mater Hospital, don't know how much it cost him, but I can find out.

I think your story says it all.

A flight after surgery is not a good thing due to the pressure changes- especially with the small cells at the back of the eye and the very dry air on board a plane

BUT IT'LL PISS YOU OFF FIRST

Ferg got his eyes done a few years ago and said it was the best thing he ever did. He has worn glasses for distance since he was about 15 and they were the reason he had to give up football. He didn't need them to read, only to drive and see anything in the distance.

So he finally relented and had the op (not good at spending money on himself for some reason!) and says he had NO pain at all, the only sensation was as if he were to place his thumb over his eye and push (pressure) while it was being done and the next day his eyes felt uncomfortably dry and that was it.

However, and this is something they dont often tell you, he now has to wear glasses to read!! which he didn't before. He can get those cheap standard lenses from chemists for $5 to solve that but they often dont mention that when you go in for the consult.

His was "lasic surgery" - cost about $4k here for both eyes.

His sister had them done in Ireland and her eyesight was much worse than his. She opted to only have one eye done ..one for distance and one for near vision and apparently they balance out eachother and she doesn't need glasses at all .

Ferg told me they can correct either Grainne. I dont know. He was long sighted so that meant he couldn't see in the distance. near sighted means you can't see near apparently. Doesn't make sense to me. So far I dont need glasses but I'd say it wont be too many more years now before I do for reading.

Very hip Grainne - 2dayfm. Saving a whole load of typing versus the more traditional Today FM.

time must be money in the witching business

Oh and Matt Cooper is a prat

I'm searching for that cash I should have saved for the crash

Pete, get a pair of John Lennon lookakike glasses and you're made

Seriously, I'd be scared to have anybody do surgery on my eyes.

But thats only my opinion.

May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride.

Some people really do look good in glasses. My son looks gorgeous with his on...but maybe I'm a little bit biased.
