@Layla I'm happy for you! I have terrible vision and I'd love for it to stop changing. I feel like I might "miss" having glasses though...
Oh goodness, I hit that by mistake! It definitely is a happy thingThis is a happy thing @Ellie!
May I ask what your prescription was? My eyesight is also quite terrible by genetics and I want to consider laser eye surgery when I get older, but even though my aunt got laser eye surgery, she still has to wear glasses to read because her eyes were around -7.00Neither anymore! I had laser eye surgery this week (wavefront intralase sbk specifically) and I can already see so well! I had high myopia (aka terrible vision) and I am so excited. I've been waiting so long for my prescription to stop changing. I had basically no discomfort afterwards, I am so happy I got the surgery.
Wow... my eyes are around -6.50 to -7.00! I'm not sure if there's always a hard limit. I looked online and there was one surgeon whose limit was -12.00. The doctor said surgery on -15.00 would improve vision but not completely correct it, leading me to believe that surgery for eyes with power less severe than -12.00 could completely correct it. However the website also says that the limit varies from surgeon to surgeon. (http://www.allaboutvision.com/askdoc/lasik.htm)May I ask what your prescription was?

I don't but you could always wear them for fashion later if you wanted.

That is true! For me, I might miss classes mainly because I've been wearing them for so long that I feel "naked" and unprotected without them! I'm kind of confused about how you said your prescription kept changing, though—isn't surgery usually done on people whose eyes have stopped changing much?
