It was the best decision I ever made and changed the quality of my life 100%. My eyesight was so bad that when I was younger, myself and a group of friends used to go swimming in our lunchbreaks. We got to know the lifeguards fairly well - on nodding terms at least. One day I was swimming up the pool and smiled a big beamy smile to the lifeguard standing on the side. It was only when I was inches away, that I realised I'd been grinning at the spinal board!
SnappyPix I can totally relate to your story! When I was younger we went swmming with my class. We must've been there for a while when I finally realised I had ben talking to complete strangers the whole time. Horrible experience for a little girl that I was..

Thank you all for your experiences with the Lasik thing. I'm still a little sceptical about it and might just wait five more years (also to hustle up the 1000 euros per eye it's going to cost me ).

Oh by the way Adventure Girl, I'm sorry but I'm so happy that I finally found someone who has worse eyesight than me. I'm only -10 on the right one and -9,5 on the left one
