Why can't my peepers be fixed:

'Persons with a depressive disorder, obsessive problems or a perfectionist nature are not good candidates for laser eye treatment. '

Don't get this at all...

May be related to the meds - blurred vision ?, or perhaps perfectionist people cause more problems for the eye doctors when things don't look quite perfect :) Who knows ?

If you mean Lasik eye surgery so you don't need glasses I had it done last year. It corrected my distance vision from 20/50,20/60 to 20/l5. I think that's why I had the facelift. Now i can see all the inperfections. Better stick with the glasses. Fondly, Phillipa

> Don't get this at all...Slinky, tomorrow morning, 6/21, I'm getting a cataract removed from my left eye. Not a laser procedure. Frankly I'm a bit leery of all the claims made for laser surgery. Sounds too much like car dealer's ads. I'd suggest looking into other methods. good luck, cockeyed.

He's right it's not for perfectionists. But you save a lot of money when you don't have to keep getting new glasses. And if you're young you won't see the imperfections in yourself. No wrinkles, crows feet, etc. Fondly, Phillipa

No more glasses! Isn't it great. Just don't look too closely at things if your vision gets to 20/15 you'll see everything. And that includes dust you don't want to see. The world seems a lot harsher. Fondly, Phillipa

I'm glad it went well..
If I taste relief/high I just want it to last forever I don't think of the fact that it doesn't last while I'm in the experience of it.Slinky
