I wear glasses.  I’m very happy with them.  I think I look quite nice in the ones I have and I wouldn’t do anything to change that.  Like have corrective laser eye surgery.  I know three people out of my collection of friends that have had the procedure done.  One of them I used to work with and he gave everyone in the studio the low down on what happens during the surgery.  You’re not put under.  It’s not covered under any health plan.  They cut the top layer of your eyeball open like a soup can and correct the lens in your eye with a laser and then close the eyeball back up and it heals it’s self.  Oh, and if any thing goes wrong, they can’t fix it.  So you basically just paid someone to screw with your eyes because there are no refunds.  He had it done and loves it.  Totally worth the money he said.  The other two people I know did not have the same results.

One now has (as I understand it) one blurry vision eye.  One is perfect and the other is out of focus permanently.  I heard that she was told hat they might be able to correct that, but I never heard the result.  It might still be that way.  The other story is where the eyeball lid didn’t heal properly back on to the eye.  Her eye was constantly watering and she couldn’t really see out if it.  This was recently (last week) and I guess she has to go back in next week to see what can be done about that.

God grief, I would never have this done to my eyes.  No way!  Forget it!  Stay the hell away from my eyes!  These are the only ones I have and I will not be having mess with them.  It also makes me kind of sad when I hear that people hate their glasses so much.  I’ve had them since I was 8 and I’m totally fine with them.  On top of that, I think that girls are super cute with glasses.  Thumbs up for geeky girls with glasses!  Hmmm… I just realized that I don’t have any drawing of girls with glasses…

Do you wear glasses and if you do would you have this done to your eyes?
