Hmm interesting thread. I have very bad eyesight also, not sure if it's as bad as some of the people written about here, but bad enough. I can't read car number plates from more than about 2 metres away. Short sighted + astigmatism in both eyes. I have thought about Lasik, but never really seriously. I don't think it's worth it. I really don't mind wearing glasses, in fact some pairs can make you look better and I also have contacts which I can wear comfortably for as long as 12-14 hours normally and they let me see great. The less surgery you have the better IMO. Besides, I wanna be able to rub my eyes etc. When I go swimming, I can see well enough to dodge people and that's all that matters really

anyone agree?
I also find that glasses give me better night vision than some people with perfect eyesight because the lenses "collect" and focus light more intensely than the leses in your eyes so even little light is enough to see by. Anyone else found this?
