Stupid astigmatism seems to rule me out as a candidate (from my brief review of one WebMD article). Glasses forever, I guess.
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

Glasses forever = AWESOME! I love my glasses. Mostly. Until I need bifocals. Which might be like next week.
Hi. I'm writing from over Missouri right now. Onboard WIFI rocks. I have entered almost all my grades and finished some other work. I think instead of just blahhing around the internet, which is my usual MO, I feel compelled to be productive because the woman in the next seat is so much more productive than I!

I have progressive lenses and I can't really do contacts because they irritate my eyes. My eyes are kind of bullshit, really. I do love the look of my glasses though.
My coworker is making me want to smack her. She can't shut up about how fat she is, which alone is super annoying, but she's also 20 lbs lighter than me (and the same height) &, roughly, 50 lbs lighter than my boss. And she has no idea how rude she is being. Ugh!

My eyes are bullshit too. Every time I go, I'm told my eyes are dry and I need fake tears. Okay, but they don't feel dry to me. They just feel like my eyes. Anyhow dry eyes are not great with contacts.
In other news, I have no umbrella and I fear I will be rained upon this week. I just felt like packing an umbrella was too complicated.

Because books.
I would love to try LASIK, but don't your eyes continue to change? As in, if it's corrected now, will it still be corrected twenty years from now?
I'm already tired of not being able to read anything with reading glasses. That's totally new, as of last year, and it makes me nuts.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I may have made this up, but I feel like there's a key time to get Lasik, after you stop getting more nearsighted, but before you start getting farsighted. So like I should have done it at 30, because I'm pretty sure I'll be in bifocals any minute.

I assume in 20 years I'll be able to get bionic robot eyes.
That said, I'm kind of attached to the way my face looks with glasses at this point. (I had contacts for a few years in college before I decided they were too much work, and made my eyes itch. But other than that I've worn glasses since the 4th grade.)

Somehow, instead of needing bifocals, my nearsightedness is getting better? My prescription has changed for the better 3 times now.

mr. flea is approaching the point of bifocals. He is not pleased. (He's postponed the inevitable by switching from the iPod Touch to the iPad Mini.)

Oh, me too! Or, well, my nearsightedness has leveled off, but my astigmatism is getting worse, so I need an overall lower prescription.
