I'm not a candidate for lasik cause I'm a chicken and even though they have come a long way with the surgery I'm not thrilled with the possibility of having something go wrong with my only pair of peepers
Extremely nearsighted here, with a slight astigmatism, now with presbyopia (what an oxymoron that seems to be) -- I've been wearing one contact for close vision, one for distance, and it works just fine. I've been wearing gas perms since, um, '81, and my only complaint about them is that they feel like potato chips after a century. No trouble adapting -- I was very motivated. I love my stylin' glasses (the kittenish librarian ones, worn by the librarian who gives a sly wink as you check out your books) but they won't cut it on the road.
Glad I can see at all, really.
