Probably won't consider it until we're done having kids.... even then DH is kinda iffy about it.
Have you had it? Would you recommend it?
-
DH had it done and loves it!
He had the non invasive (non cutting) procedure done.I'm seriously considering having it done after I'm finished having kids too!
-
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!
-
Yep, best decision ever! I got it done almost 2 years ago and I'm so glad.
-
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.
-
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.
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!
-
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.
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.
-
It's been a little over 2 years and I'm so happy I finally did 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.
-
@chopsuey119: why after kids?
I think I might do it next year!
-
@sandy: oh I know... I hate dealing with glasses with my baby.
-
Ten years ago and absolutely love it. Made a world of difference.
-
Absolutely will after done having kids!
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.
-
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.
-
I'm way too nervous to get Lasik done. My friend did, and now she has double vision! I'll just stick with my contacts.
-
I will get it done sometime in the future (after having kids, when my eyesight becomes stable, etc.)
-
I want to SO bad!!! But just can't afford to yet. My SIL, brother, and a bunch of friends all did.
-
Had it 7 years ago and very happy.
