My friend did, and now she has double vision! I'll just stick with my contacts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lasik-anyone#post-262037 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 07:25:30 +0000 Foodnerd81 262037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They do say to wait at least a year after lasik before getting pregnant, though my eye doctor said really it's only the first 3-6 months that are important. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lasik-anyone#post-261949 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 02:01:25 +0000 lemondrop 261949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely will after done having kids!</p> <p>Actually with this pregnancy, my eyesight didn't change at all. But I have had blood pressure issues, so I will still probably wait until being done with kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lasik-anyone#post-261915 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 00:50:06 +0000 808love 261915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ten years ago and absolutely love it.

I only wish I did it earlier. I wanted to get it before getting pregnant bc I didn't want to deal with contacts/glasses and takin care of a baby...I was so blind without them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lasik-anyone#post-261694 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 21:14:10 +0000 Foodnerd81 261694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had it done about 2 and 1/2 years ago and I'm SO glad I did. My vision was really bad-- like couldn't even think about reading the alarm clock without glasses or pulling it to my face. I actually need glasses now for driving, and for thinks like going to the movies, I see better with my glasses (they told me this was possible since my vision was so bad) and I'm still so glad I did it. </p> <p>I knew I would not be having LOs for a few years after I did it, since yes, pregnancy can change that. But I was so uncomfortable in the water and not really being able to see well, I knew I wanted it done before I had kids so I could watch them in the pool or beach. I'm very happy to talk about it at length if people have questions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lasik-anyone#post-261690 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 21:11:07 +0000 PrincessBaby 261690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to have it done. I considered it but I work for a contact lens company so I get contacts for free, so I nixed the surgery while I get lenses for free.</p> <p>Plus I'm 32. We're all going to have some degree of presbyopia (need reading glasses) starting in our early to mid 40s, even if you have Lasik. So I decided that possibly only getting 8 years out of it wasn't enough to make me do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lasik-anyone#post-261688 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 21:09:20 +0000 MamaMoose 261688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will probably do it after kids. Luckily @chopsuey119: taught me vision can change during pregnancy so I won't make the mistake of doing it before we are definitely done having kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lasik-anyone#post-261686 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 21:07:41 +0000 lilteacherbee 261686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, best decision ever! I got it done almost 2 years ago and I'm so glad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lasik-anyone#post-261356 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 18:47:27 +0000 banana 261356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanna have it done too! I don't wear glasses or contacts cause they're too uncomfortable and my husband always worries about my driving. I can see fine though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lasik-anyone#post-261349 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 18:46:18 +0000 chopsuey 261349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH had it done and loves it!<br /> He had the non invasive (non cutting) procedure done. </p> <p>I'm seriously considering having it done after I'm finished having kids too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lasik-anyone#post-261345 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 18:45:34 +0000 mrsjyw 261345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably won't consider it until we're done having kids.... even then DH is kinda iffy about it.</p> <p>Have you had it? Would you recommend it? </p>
