laser eye surgery
Been looking (no pun) into this and im thinking about getting this done because im stick off wear geggs  all the time.
i only wore my glasses for driving at first (thats what i got them for). But when i used to take them off my eyes used to be worse then they were before so i just wore them all the time,now their pritty crap.
Just wondering if any one has or know of anyone thats got it done,and what the results where like?.
aslo ive read that some people cant get it either,whys that?
goin to ring up either this week or next to find out abit more but i just wanted to know anything from yous first.
cheers liam:Y:

I wear contacts and they are the tits. Somebody I worked with had it done and his eyes are absolutely perfect> I want to get mine done but am too young and my prescription is changing but as soon as I can I will be getting it done.

balls on the optimax site it says you have to be 21  is that the same for all?
thats not the petrol optimax either
edit found this
Is there a lower or upper age limit for treatment?
The lower age limit for laser eye treatment is usually 21, when the eye has finished its normal growth, but we can treat from the age of 18, provided that the eyesight prescription has been stable for a minimum of 2 years. There is no upper age limit; however, please see the information below concerning cataracts.

My auntie had it done. She had very very bad eye sight since she was 18 and shes... (well i wont tell a womans age but shes older now!), but she hated wearing glasses. So she went for the lazer surgery and she said it was the best thing she ever did, horrific, but brilliant.

i seen someone it get done on the telly before,doent look nice.They cut a flap on your eye and peel it back and start pouring fluids and shite on it 
still it cant be as bad as getting your tooth pulled, i fecking cringe when i think of that.Next time im goin to get put to sleep if i need one out.
still want it done tho ,it only last a few minute per eye
