I have been debating about doing lasik for like 5 years. I think I’m close to finally doing it. I don’t really mind wearing glasses, but there are definitely moments where it can be a pain in the butt.

My thing is waking up in the morning (or at all hours of the night) and not having to fish for my glasses, but instead having perfect vision right away. I hated wearing glasses and my contacts would irritate my eyes every other month so not having that scratchiness is a huge plus.

To put it in perspective, my vision's at -8.5 / -7.0 out of my eyes . I can't see anything at all without glasses. This chart I'm looking at says my vision's significantly worse then 20/500 vision, which sure, that's a number all right.

That about from where I was at. I had mine done in 2015, but if memory serves they said I was around -8. I'm still 20/20 today, maybe even better in one eye. vvvv

Going from -10.75 left/-10.5 right to 20/15 vision was  to say the least.

I have astigmatisms in my eyes so it's just a tad bit blurry without my glasses. No far sighted or near sighted issues. I generally play sports without my glasses but have wondered if contacts or even Lasik is worth it...

For Profit Schools might be hosed overall and appears at least some folks are getting relief from predatory loans. This article's commentary on the Trump response vs the Biden response is insane though https://www.politico.com/newsletter...m0o5AImQOw4-aFw

swickles posted:Not having glasses fog up when going from cold to warm (or with masking). Not having to worry about contact hygiene poo poo and having supplies. Being able to wear any pair of sunglasses with prescription lens. You basically cut out alot of minor, but constant irritations from your life. Also not having to clean glasses and still have slight smudges only to clean again and failing to do so. It's just so nice to see clear with nothing physically there. It felt so different to me for a while.

Also holy hell a young realtor just sent me an ad, asking me my opinion. Its about her giving every person who buys a house from her (as a realtor) a free gun for "home protection". With a picture of an AR 15. Wow.

I had LASIK done about fifteen years ago and it wore off so I'm back to wearing glasses again. Thankfully my vision's still nowhere near as bad as it was before.

Yeah I’m there too, and when I looked at LASIK after college forever ago I had some of the same issues. But still using glasses and (2 week) contacts, I would add that not having to worry about costs or inconveniences of either would be very nice.

a neat cape posted:How can any of yall afford to buy anything in this market I'm a dink who lives in Ohio, We paid off our mortgage a year ago. Lasik rules. You're a little bit more susceptible to dry eye which is a pain but overall having to use eye drops every once in a while is significantly better than contacts or glasses.

Yeah another goon clued me in that my name was mentioned in the ep about Caro so I figured it was that one. Glad I was right because I'd be worried if more than one podcast mentioned me by name.

Hey if you’re a person who shoots off fireworks until 2am on the 4th and then starts shooting them off again at 10 the next night, I hope one of them blows up in your face and you die in a fire. Love, me Jameson & Maggie

Yeah we’re fortunate that our dog doesn’t seem to care about fireworks at all, but turbofuck anyone who thinks firing them off at 1 or 2 in the a-loving-m is a good idea

My daughter has made it a week without having an accident (hell yeah potty trained!), including through the nights. Until tonight, when a huge, close lightning bolt literally scared the poo poo out of her in bed. Cool thing to wake up to.
