[QUOTE=Jets Things;4176192]So jealous. My eye doctor has said I'm a perfect candidate for lasik, but I'm too much of a pusscake to get it done. I don't even like putting contact lenses in so there's no way I'd allow someone to shoot a frickin laserbeam at my eyes.[/QUOTE]
This.

Been wearing contacts since I was kid. No way I'm slicing a piece of my eyeball off, then shooting a laser beam in it.

Glad to hear it went smoothly Free.

I, too, had it done several years ago. My vision is better than 20/20 and it is incredible to not have to wear contacts like I did for years. It's an easy procedure and well worth it, NO DOUBT! For others considering it, don't hesitate; you'll be rewarded.

My friend had lasik done. After a few months the vision in one of his eyes deteriorated to the point where it was worse than what it was before surgery. There was nothing the doc could do to fix it. He wears a hard lense on that eye.

But good luck, free!

My brother had it done a few years ago. I don't talk to him much, but it appears it went well.

lol. Thanks, Mr. Ray-of-Sunshine.

Does your friend happen to do the offensive play-calling for a certain NY-based football team? :D

Yeah see...this type of stuff isn't helpful.

+1

While your words - and the words of some others - are quite encouraging, free, I think I'm just going to stick to tucking my cock'nballs between my legs for the foreseeable future.

I said he's blind in one eye. I didn't say he has downs syndrome.

Joe W. Namath · 10-06-2011, 10:07 AM

Ive had it done twice and it was great for awhile, but my vision started deteriorating after about 6 years. Now my vision is really bad again

I have real bad dry eye from it as well.

Oh well, as with anything, some people have success and some dont.

No, but I can see straight through lame excuses for sh*tty offensive coordinators!
