ive thought about saving up and having that that laser surgery done.but still unsure, my eyes are so bad now. being single they tend to deteriate a lot quicker than married mens 

Wear boxing gloves in bed that should help save your eyesight Rich.

3 times now, I lose the ability to read and just see blobs in the detail area, cannot see text, but can see to walk.

Happened middle of last year and happened this afternoon.

Doctors think migrain, but no pain.

I did try some apple flavoured medicine and finding the correct change was a nightmare, but my 10 minutes taking my medicine did help a little.

Also for some reason I lose the ability to worry about it

yep..  in the mornings I cant read letters .. but interestingly if I look without my glasses I can read them..  :-?

afternoons everything goes back to normal.. :-?

we are getting old.. and I think those are the consequences..

and plus I also dont worry about it as there are numerous other things that I have to think of :-/

The way I see it ( or not, as the case might be ) is if the eyesight goes, at least you don'd see the bits that start to fall off when old age gets a grip

Tie your hands behind your back 

I had mine lasered a few years ago --- bloody painful, but well worth it --- things have improved since then and I gather it's not really bad at all.

its worth having it done then, how long does it last before they start getting bad again.

I was extremely short sighted and had them done about 12 years ago. About a year ago I started to get longsighted ( which was expected, (advancing years!) so need goggles to read now) -- but my distance vision is still near perfect.

Mine seem to have deteriorated at a hell of a pace since I started using a computer! It can't be the other excuse 'cos i'm married LOL

Got fed up of buckling my glasses when wearing a bike helmet and couldn't wear contacts when diving, so had mine zapped about 4 years ago.
Done at about 4pm and by 7pm I got bored lying around the hotel room and was out for a walk around London.
No pain at all. Not during the treatment or after.

Admittedly things have improved -- but when I had mine done I was "crying" for a week solid. Actually got me a few dates too .... must have brought out the protective instincts in some women - seeing a guy in dark glasses sat at the bar with tears streaming down his face into his beer !!!!!

those that have pain such as migrane, head aches and sight disturbances(not deterioration) do you have back/or spinal  problems of any sort?

[Martin_1962]

Also had a bit of pins and needles in my hands, and also had a sore throat, as to spinal I did have a very nasty fall last year.

One possibility I have read about is swine flu!!!!

That statement alone has sold me ...

As long as everything else in the room wasn't double size -- then I would worry !

Suicide could be a remedy...  ...failing that, don't worry about it.  No point letting half-wit NHS doctors looking...

It's not the doctors, it's the system thats f**ked.
