my ex had his eyes done there
it is hard to find even before the surgery!

but 6 years later his eyes are still perfect. make sure you have someone to go with you though, you are a bit woozy afterwards, and if you have LASEK they can be a bit painful for a few hours.

don't do what my friend's bf did, and get so drunk you forget you had the surgery, and try to take contacts out of YOUR NEWLY LASERED EYES, thereby fucking your vision for life!

I think I'm having LASIK, where they make the flap rather than scraping the cells off
Mummybadger is coming to the big City to be my guide, although she has no sence of direction so that may not work out well!

and HOLY FUCK that sounds gross and painful and wrong on all levels

i had lasik
it's absolutely painless. have something in your pocket that you can squeeze if you get a bit tense.

it's actually 12 years since i had it, and my eyes are now -1, but they were -5 before, and they were perfect for the first 7 years, until i started the late nights and tiny scripts of a lawyer. if i had a different job involving less computers and leases, i am sure they would still be 20/20. as it is, i never use my glasses if i go out at night or on the beach etc.

I read that as go out at night on the beach
and wondered if you'd had your own private one installed somewhere.

I'm most looking forward to my glasses not steaming up when I open the oven

Or when you walk into a pub on a cold night

yeah, but not having them spoils the look at bukkake parties.


ahahahaha my spellchecker suggests "backache" for "bukkake" .... love it.

You should know better than to listen to boys.

i never listen to boys
otherwise i would still be waiting for several phonecalls, £300 back and several other things that would make me seethe if i weren't too lazy and loved-up to care.

it was a GIRL who told me this.
