I have an astigmatism in my left eye too and I found out because I'm long sighted, the chances of me getting laser eye surgery are very slim.

I'm heartbroken. It's the one thing I've said over the past few years that I want the most in life. I'm fed up of waking up every morning and not being able to see properly

I did look into getting contacts a few weeks ago but it would've cost £200+ for a set of them. I couldn't get daily or monthly ones so I would have to have gotten the permanent ones which is why they were so expensive. I don't think my NHS thingy covered them either even though it covered my glasses idk it was weird.
..I've got an astigmatism as well Niall.. in both eyes..all the best people have them, I think they're a sign of genius or something.....

..I go for the contact lens option..yeah, they are a bit expensive though..I have bi-monthly ones...

Yeah I've an astigmatism in my left one apparently so they recommended I get monthly lenses and the left one has to be made a bit differently or something, used to think they were a nightmare at first cos it'd take ages for me to get them in but once I got used to it it was so much better having them

..one of the children at school once asked me about contact lenses and I was trying to explain to him about astigmatism....the next day his mum told me that he told her I had autism in my eyes.....

My sight is near perfect at present so don't need any glasses or contact lenses.

Y'see I would get that done, but I don't think it's covered by the NHS.

Definitely. :tongue:

I would do, but I'd rather use all the money that goes on them to get a set of deisgner frames or something. I really want some Ray Ban glasses frames myself. :lovedup:

Got a pair of Bench glasses quite a while ago...they're pretty much as good as Ray Ban, only they cost £79. :(

Laser surgery seems a good option, but I was told by someone that it needs doing every few years. Is that true?

Have to wear glasses all the time, have done since I was 8(1'm 22 now)

I have that fuzzy but manageable short sightedness. Despise glasses - they really don't suit me - so I alternate between wanting to wear my contacts all the time for super duper HD vision and not wanting to wear them at all because they don't go well with the dry eye that accompanies caning a spliff.

I actually wish glasses did suit me because they're badass on the face of certain people [step up, Karl].
