I have 20/20. So hopefully the baby will have my eye sight since bad eye sight runs in the family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-bad-eyes#post-60049 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 01:22:58 +0000 AmeliaBedelia 60049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My right eye is the worst, it's -2.75 and I have astigmatism in my left eye, but it's only at -2.25. My Mom's are in the -5.00 range and I know mine will probably get there. They have been progessively getting worse since I was 12. </p> <p>FI has 20/20 vision. What a jerk. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-bad-eyes#post-60046 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 01:20:48 +0000 sandy 60046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My eyes were so bad (-8.00)...but then I got Lasik and now I can see perfectly! Getting Lasik before having a baby was one of the best decisions ever...I could not imagine waking up for the middle of the night feedings and struggling with my glasses or contacts. My husband has perfect eyes so I'm really hoping our kids take after him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-bad-eyes#post-59992 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 23:59:27 +0000 peachybee 59992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My eyes are horrible.

When I don't wear them I get a headache. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-bad-eyes#post-59886 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 22:30:40 +0000 yin 59886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>-1.25 in my left eye and -1.5 in my right. I wear glasses/contacts all the time, even though my vision isn't too horrible. My husband is hovers around -4.0 ish. I had laser eye surgery to repair a retinal tear in my right eye, and it was so super painful. It turned me off from ever getting lasik, even though it's a very different procedure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-bad-eyes#post-59885 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 22:28:27 +0000 mynoahbear 59885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have really bad eyes. Without contacts or glasses, I really can't see anything. DH makes fun of me all the time because I can't see. Hopefully, LO inherits DH's perfect eyesight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-bad-eyes#post-59870 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 22:17:01 +0000 cyndistar3 59870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not exactly sure what the numbers are but my eyes are definitely not perfect and one of my eyes is worse than the other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-bad-eyes#post-59863 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 22:08:27 +0000 Mrs. Bee 59863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>-2.25 in both eyes. but i want lasik sooooo bad. i hate wearing glasses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-bad-eyes#post-59857 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 22:06:07 +0000 Pepper 59857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't had my eyes checked in ages. I've never had glasses, but I think I may need them. Years and years of working in front of a computer every day has made my vision terrible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-bad-eyes#post-59855 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 22:04:32 +0000 CarrieLouWho 59855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>-4.25 in both eyes, have worn glasses since Kindergarten.

I also have really dry eyes, so they get red and itchy really easily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-bad-eyes#post-59565 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 20:37:52 +0000 heffalump 59565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had perfect eyes until I had a job that had me sit on the computer every day. I had to get my first glasses at 25, and I was very upset about it. Now they go on and off, usually if my migraines are bad so are my eyes.</p> <p>Hubby and I both have geeky glasses, so we go good together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-bad-eyes#post-59285 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 19:24:04 +0000 DpeachLu 59285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Im at about -2.50 and -2.75 </p> <p>although I am not 100% sure. its around there.</p> <p>My right eye is worst and I have astigmatism! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-bad-eyes#post-59281 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 19:21:29 +0000 lilteacherbee 59281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had pretty bad eyes. I actually don't know what my prescription was though. I had Lasik done a little over a year ago and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made (and I'm really squeamish with my eyes). I could never wear contacts so I was so glad to get rid of my glasses! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-bad-eyes#post-59257 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 19:09:14 +0000 Rubies 59257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>-4.75 and -4.5 (left eye/right eye) and the hubs is even worse! We joked that LO would come out into the world already wearing glasses. Since giving birth, my eyes have gotten worse but I'm holding off getting them checked until this summer before I go back to work. I want Lasik but I'm too scared. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-bad-eyes#post-59246 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 19:04:26 +0000 banana 59246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have astigmatism (is that how you spell it?) in both eyes so I have horrible distance vision. I can't tell how far away something else, which is why I have dents all over my bumpers (oops!). I hope my LO doesn't inherit my horrible vision! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-bad-eyes#post-59241 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 19:02:25 +0000 winniebee 59241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Terrible!</p> <p>I was born with glaucoma and cataracts and am nearsighted. I had glaucoma repaired by surgery at 8 weeks old, then my contacts were -8.00 until last year!!! Then, I got cataracts surgery which got rid of the cataracts but now I'm farsighted as a result of the lens replacement surgery. Now I only need -1.0 for far away, but probably more like a -4.0 for up close. It's crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-bad-eyes#post-59240 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 19:01:57 +0000 MaisyMay 59240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubs and I both sport glasses full-time, but my eyes are slightly better than his. We joke that any of our kids are going to be tall, blond, and blind. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-bad-eyes#post-59237 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 18:59:56 +0000 chopsuey 59237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My eyes are -4.00 in each eye. :T It's such a pain in the butt having bad eyes. Considering Lasik, but not sure I want to do it yet. </p> <p>How bad/good are your eyes? </p>
