Yes my friends, the unthinkable has happened: Jerome has got rid of his glasses.
In line with modern trends, Jerome was seen purchasing a pair of contact lenses, and subsequently poking himself in the eyes several hundred times while trying to get them in. He can often be seen now, wandering round the streets of Glasgow maveling at his newfound sight. Several people have failed to recognise him, and others are being treated in hopsital for shock as we speak. Now the crowds of weeping men, women and children all embrace, their tears flowing into one river of sadness. The one thing in life they always thought would remain the same has been removed, and are left with only a bitter message: Things will never be the same again. ------------------ http://www.animfactory.com/animation...s/j_md_clr.gif |
<font color="white">I am living proof that the <u>Laser eye surgery</u> works, sometimes better than expected!
When they do the operation, they shoot for more than 20/20, like they calculate for 20/05 or 20/10, with the expectancy that your eyes will heal, and as the healing effect begins, it brings you back out towards blindess, but will stop somewhere around 20/20. That is the theory they explained to me, anyway. Well, I asked them why my vision healing system did not work the way they anticipated, and they could not give me an answer, because I can see 20/05 with both eyes! I am almost to the point of the blessed x-ray vision my brother! (hehe). There is only one draw-back. When I first had the operation, I had to wear dark sunglasses at night to drive, for the lights at night were deadly painful. But I am ok, now. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif</font> ------------------ http://members.aol.com/lasttrueprinc...ges/larry2.gif Devoted member of the Ironworks Loyal guardian of the OHF Member of the Ancients' club Witness of the 4,000th post by Cloudposter Currently engaged in the Throne of Bhaal expansion set [This message has been edited by Larry_OHF (edited 07-09-2001).] [This message has been edited by Larry_OHF (edited 07-09-2001).] |
Never fear folks - kiwidocs glasses are a permanent fixture. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...s/coollook.gif
Everytime I have tried contacts I have had such an extreme allergic reaction not only couldn't I see a thing, my shirts were soaked http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif |
I wear both glasses and contacts. (not at the same time..doh!)
My sisters have had the laser treatment. Congratulations Jerome...It feels kind of liberating eh? http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...les/DRUIDD.gif |

Congrats Jerome!
I wore them way back when lol and eventually ended up with a damaged tear duct from the repeated dehydration of my eyes. It was not a known cause of worry (for women mainly) for decades but by the time it was found out, it was too late for many of us to ever be able to wear them again. Enjoy your newfound freedom from glasses and keep those eyedrops handy! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif Moni ------------------ http://members.aol.com/lasttrueprincess/images/ltp4.gif |
I used to wear contacts until my eyes decided that they were some dort of prooblem to be fought off, so my body sent White Blood Cells to my eyes to fight them off. That blurred my vision, badely, and I had to drop them forever.

Bravo for you Jerome. I am sure your handsomeness is greatly enhanced. 'Course, none of us will truly know since you have yet to share your lovely face with the rest of us!! Perhaps you would be so kind as to post your before AND after contacts pictures at Stealthy's? Are you up to the challenge? http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

Out of intrest: how long did it take you guys before you got them in, on your first try?
I spent about an hour poking myself in the eye before i even got one in! and then the b*stard of an optician made me take them out and put them back in again another 3 times to prove i could do it. If there was ever someone that needed flamestriked.....http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no.../angryfire.gif ------------------ http://www.animfactory.com/animation...s/j_md_clr.gif [This message has been edited by Jerome (edited 07-10-2001).] |

Has anyone ever had a contact lens rip while in there eye? NOT a happy feeling!! |

<font color="white">It took two weeks of eye drops every 30 minutes,(two types of drops), and wearing these eye shields taped to my face at night to stop me from accidently rubbing them in my sleep. (It takes alot of will power to not rub). Even after the two weeks, I was deathly scared that I would rub my eye, and it would fall out or something! Night vision was wasted for at least a month, and certain colors like yellow appeared as if I was living in a cartoon world. In all, I guess I felt ok after a month. Every time I went to the eye doc. for checkups, he would brag about how well the healing was going, and that made me feel alot better. I am to the point now where I only have to go in once a year for check-ups.</font> To me, it was WELL WORTH THE MONEY AND EFFORT! ------------------ http://members.aol.com/lasttrueprinc...ges/larry2.gif Devoted member of the Ironworks Loyal guardian of the OHF Member of the Ancients' club Witness of the 4,000th post by Cloudposter Currently engaged in the Throne of Bhaal expansion set |

As for contact lenses: I cannot have 'em - sigh ! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif When my ophthalmologist looked at that little strip that is used to determine your production of lachrymal liquid he couldn't believe his eyes: it had not been wetted at all ! After that he had a hard time believing me that, considering that lack of lachrymal liquid, I was not suffering terribly from itching eyes and related problems, but strongly recommended against the use of contact lenses in my case. Thus I am stuck with my glasses forever ... ------------------ So long !

I have been very slightly short sighted for a number of years, but I don't wear glasses unless I need to read something at a distance (subtitled films for example). I have an astigmatism too, my optician told me I had egg shaped lenses!!! But since I don't drive or anything I never bothered with glasses. However, I think my next trip to the opticians will change that, because my sight is getting slightly worse now! Still, I have been told that glasses make me look intelligent, so there may be a silver lining.
No way will I ever ever ever poke myself in the eye or put anything in it, never never never. Ever. (shudder) ------------------ http://www.gldb.com/wayno/e1.jpg Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so. Epona of The Laughing Hyenas |
I tried disposibles, but they gave me a severe irritation and I took that excuse to miss a hell of a lot of school - so I couldn't keep contacts for long.
Betcha never thought that an Arch Lich could be short-sighted eh? Well, it's true. I wear these thin delicate glasses that could snap under any medium sized bottom, only when I'm playing computer games or watching a good movie. About 97% of my time - I'm NOT wearing glasses.http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif It is a rarity on the planes to EVER catch me wearing glasses!

Ramon,
Glad I can offer some slight humour, even if it is only occasional! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif Especially as (gentle) penguin waving is not possible for the moment, thanks to MSN ------------------ http://www.gldb.com/wayno/e1.jpg Time is an illusion.
