Yes Catty, eyes start to change for everyone around 40 perhaps a bit older as we start to need reading glasses. Most people who are near sighted see their eyes level out at about 21 as there bodies stop growing so much and changing so do the eyes. There are different lasers for farsighted and nearsighted. You can have both done but the cost is high. Those people that have the laser done in their 20's will still need reading glasses sometime in their 40's.

I have glaucoma and have had laser surgery on my eyes twice so far. Not fun but better then going blind. And yes you are right the drugs are good.

Thanks everyone,

Marigold - Hes over 21 and hes been told hes definatly having it done on thursday, Hes going with Ultralaze in London which has a very good reputation and hes spoken to people from there who have had it done and no one has a bad word to say about the place, My boyfriend is one of those people that have to have the best of everything so he wouldnt settle for anyone else! Not blaming him really, eyesight is very important.

Hes a bit worried about him moving his eye accidently when the lazer is on, Hes getting quite nervous but hes having a chat with the doctor before the surgery and I will be there too so I will also know what to do.

Is there any chance his eye could move and mess it up? I was told he get eye drops to stop the eye from moving?

But, they put a little device on my eye that held me steady and I didn't feel the urge to blink at all.

Hope that helps.

Sorry, thanks I must of missed that bit!

I think its just last minute nerves for him really.

Sounds like he made an excellent choice. But be forwarned. He won't be able to stop talking about what a great idea it was. Ha ha

How much does it cost to get it done? Im 22 and I would love to get it done because my eyes are horrible!!! I always wondered about it and how much I always wanted it done but I heard the cost is very pricey. Do they put numbing drops in the eye. kinda like when they check your eyes at the eye doctor they put that weird stuff in your eye thats kinda orange in color?
