I have an astigmatism. They’re such a pain. I can never tell what’s going on when I’m driving and my glasses don’t even help. :( I just kinda drive real slow when I’m turning into traffic and squint, haha. SAFE.

I feel sorry that you have to deal with all this check-ups for your eye.

I wish your eye get better! :) but hey, I see that you are still taking great pictures! Continue the good work!

I really hope your contacts work out for you!!! Glasses can be cute, but it’s hard to see as well in them and it can be really upsetting. I didn’t mind wearing glasses that much when I was young and my prescription wasn’t that bad, but once it started to get high it was so much worse!

I had Lasik and it was a good choice for me, but it is a hard one to make and can be tricky with a high prescription.

Astigmatism. DD: I have one too… in my right eye. O_O;;

I rarely wear my contacts because I tear way too much even though I’ve had them for more than a year. O_O;; So I stick to glasses…

I wear contacts as well and they truly have saved my life from 24/7 glasses.. I know the trial & error period sucks, but when you finally get the ones you want and everything’s super-clear then it’s all worth it :)
Laser surgery is supposed to be really quick and painless, so that’s a good choice as well. I’m still waiting for the whole “growing period” to be over so I can get it.

I always wanted glasses when I was a kid but then my sister got them about five years ago and I realised I couldn’t cope with having them at all. So I can totally see why you don’t want to wear your glasses all the time. I don’t know anything about contacts tho… I never thought I’d handle them well – sticking your finger in your eye … ;)

The damn doctors are so crap! I hate seeing them too cos they never give you a straight answer. Mine is useless.

Ga…hopefully, you’ll land on a good pair that are comfortable and such. I’ve found that as long as Ciba makes my contacts, it feels ok. If it’s like Bausch & Lomb or such, my eyes are like WTF?! Weird…

Aside…glasses are a nice alternative when it can be. I find I can’t really wear make up when I do wear glasses though…mebee I’m retarded?

I know how you feel. I can’t even get contacts cause it would be too expensive.. One eye has astigmatism the other regular, one eye is near sighted the other far. Gosh it’s annoying.. The only good thing is I don’t always have to wear my glasses. I can see, but sometimes I need them in school to see the board..

Eww, I underststand the feeling of being pushed into doing something, and not having an alternative. I have always had perfect vision and I thank God for that! I’m really impatient so I would be able to put in lenses, and glasses would drive me mad … hope you find a pair that you like soon or you’re at least a candidate for lasic, I’ve heard they work quite well :)

Yeah, my sister has astigmatism in her right eye and the contacts for it is so freaking expensive. @_@

As for Lasik, I was reading up on it and I read that if you’ve been wearing contacts for years, then you have to stop and glasses for a while in order for your eyeballs to return to its normal shape for the procedure.

And yeah, it may not sound like it, but a 24 year old is still young in the world of eyeballs and still. Some 24’s eyeballs are still shaping and so if the procedure is done, your eyeball may still continue to change shape and even undo the procedure, leading to a waste of money and might damage your eyesight.

But I’m sure new contacts will come out and the prices will go down some bits. My sister said that they’re a bit cheaper than what she used to pay for them a while ago.

You look adorable in the glasses!!!!! ^^
I think it’s you in the picture anyway hehe
I wear glasses too but only sometimes cuz I’m lazy but lucky for me my eyes aren’t that bad (-0.75 and -0.5)… yet? dunno hehe but I understand the change thing.. Like you have a variety to suit your mood~ But if Lasik means laser surgery.. it sounds scary for me..
But I hate trial and error stuff with doctors.. I had this virus thing when I was 15 and the doctors just kept taking blood tests but ended up with no solution and I got better by myself…
Haha I wrote a long comment
Hope you feel better soon~

I wear my glasses all the time and I’m actually quite terrified of contacts ^^; sticking something onto my eyes doesn’t sound too appealing to me. But I look weird without the glasses anyway so it’s all fine ^^
I understand the thing about change though. still, I think you are probably the type that looks really cute in glasses, so whatever happens it will be all good and maybe the new contacts are going to work, so don’t worry too much about it ^^

I where glasses 24/7 except when I go out on formal occasions and such. Nowadays I really have to force myself to wear my glasses so I know exactly how you’re feeling :( I hope the trial contacts work so you don’t have to wear glasses all the time! Urgh, don’t you hate it when it rains and you have to use your fingers like a windscreen wiper? Haha~
