There is another way, can't think of the proper name though.
You get to wear lenses during the night and that improves the eye-sight during the day. After three of four weeks of night lenses your eyes stay focussed correctly all day.
No surgery, no risk for horror stories.
(Am thinking about it my self if I can find a specialist nearby)

I know many people taht have had it done, all went well except my brother & the only problem was that 1 eye wasnt successful.
I wish I could have it done I hate specs, although luckily I only need them for close work.

had both my eyes done 3 years ago, i had to got back once to have left eye re-zapped. i dont seem to have 20/20 vision but it was still worth after wearing hard contact lenses for 20 years the price has been reduced since then cost me £2, 500 had both eyes done at the same time you need a couple of days off work just to rest them i didnt experience any pain or side effects. my wife who was nearly blind as a bat without contacts also had them done with good results
going swimming and not have to take lenses out, no more grit behind the lense well worth it. we had them done at boots so wife got staff discount but they dont do it now. there was no pressure had consultation then went away to think about it paying was the painful bit
BTW nothing can be done to correct longsite eg reading you will still need glasses cheers P M

saw these on the box last year they do look like a non permanent solution to laser treatment, the volunteer wore them and found that he had a little discomfort wearing them, double vision and corona effects for a few days but that passed and he could see perfectly afterwards, they work by depressing and indenting slighly the lens of the eye and the extent of this distortion is governed by the prescription optimally for the patient of course this effect wears off after time so you have to religiously wear the contacts each night. my concern is the ongoing cost overall of the contacts with laser treatment being a one off payment in comparison.WoodYouLike said:
Any of you aware that you can improve your vision eye exercises each day? I'm having trouble finding the free links at the moment.
I think I remembered you cover 1 eye and force yourself to read the small print from a book and it doesn't matter if you can't read it, eventfully the eyes muscle get working again will get stronger therefore you can read again but it can take about 4-8 weeks depending on your sight, my eldest son now doesn't wear glasses. From what I was told that glasses make your eye muscle lazy

although it's true eye muscles get slack through wearing glasses, most older people have focussing problems due to the eye's lens becoming stiffer, less flexible and so the muscles are unable to flex the lens as and when needed hence the need for glasses.masona said:Any of you aware that you can improve your vision eye exercises each day?

An interesting subject....
Pinhole specs .... http://www.pinholes.com/
The 'Bates' method ( not junior we hope) and more links.

Anyone tried any of the alternatives?

In my last job, I had to spend a lot of time in front of a pc monitor and and the end of the day when driving home I noticed my right eye was slightly blurred.
I heard about those pinhole glasses, made a pair and had a go. All they did for me was to make me tired and I found wearing them while watching tv hard work.
The Bates method sounds interesting but with regard to "palming", I would have thought that your eyes get that kind of relaxation whilst sleeping anyway.
I don't use a PC in my job now so I don't get blurred vision any more.

I think that's just for people with 'plus-lenses'. Laser and the 'night-lense' method are for people with 'negative-lenses' (sorry, my English - lack off - again, don't know the correct terminology) because their eye-muscle is so 'strong' the focus-point falls behind the normal lense. Also the reason why when you get older, the strength of the glasses will/can diminish because the eye-muscle gets weaker by age.masona said:
A month ago I started wearing glasses on very close work and can't get on with them even though the lens are correct, maybe it takes time to get used to them and yet I've bought a reading glasses (+1.25) in the chemist and I get on better with them
Cost me £1.99

Hmmm, but then again, an option would say that - otherwise he would have no business to run
The optician was actually trying to promote the treatment but I had several concerns which he is obliged to answer truthfully.
