Hi guys/gals I was curious for those who had laser eye surgery how much did you pay for your visit? Thanks
Dang 47 views and no one had laser eye surgery?
im going on 17th June for my Opt.
im doing it from Pakistan, costs me about 33,000 Rupees (~408.88 USD)
maybe i'm not up to current events
but last i checked there is still significant halos/rainbow effect under street lights at night
i cant mess with my eyes like that...even if the risk of this happening or its prevalence has decreased
last price i received was in the neighborhood of $750

$750 for both eyes?
I paid $3,000US, but I live in New York where everything is more expensive, and I wanted a doctor with one of the best educations available (He went to Princeton for undergrad and U. Pen for med school).
EDIT: I forgot to mention, this was 2 years ago, and my eyes are great. I have perfect vision, whereas previously I had a +6 prescription. My night vision is excellent, my only qualm is that I am severely affected when cutting onions, whereas before I was not.
I want to do that, but I dont know what r the issues with that operation
My wife had hers done about 10 years ago - cost her about £2000 I think. She was really pleased and didn't need glasses, until a week ago and now she needs them for driving. This reminded me laser surgery can only get your eyes to perfect, it cannot fight natural aging too.
I went 18 months ago, attracted by the adverts saying "from £395 per eye". Turned out my eyesight was bad enough that I didn't qualify for the cheapest option, and that my pupils were 1mm too large to qualify for the second cheapest (!). This left me with only the final option available to me - £3300 all in. Couldn't afford that, so used the grand I'd saved to buy a Thunderace instead.
Wish I could get my eyes done as I'd love to be able to see when I first wake up, and when swimming, however, I cannot afford it at the moment. One day....
I did it 1½ year ago on both for ~2000 USD here in Sweden. It feels like my eyesight is getting worse again so I think that I did it too early before my eyes had stabilized. They did warn me about doing it to early so I can't blame them. I did it when I was 22 years old. Of course my eyesight is much better than before but when you pay that much you will easily get a bit picky.

Yeah I'm getting mine for $3,700 (insurance won't cover it) with one of the best on the west coast..
Sorry to hear about the onions situation lol
I had mine done last month.. I LOVE IT.
Costed me $3700 for the lasik which was cleared for at the last min but was going to get the prk which the price for that was $3200. BUt it had a longer recovery time.
All in all the lasik is the best. ITCHED LIKE HELL FOR THE FIRST DAY. (make you wanna rub the stuffing out of your eyes) but after you put some drops in there and goto sleep by the time you wake up your vision is clear as day.
* Its actually clear as soon as you get out but not as clear*
I now have 20/15 vision.
I must say is the best volunteered money i have ever spent.
Good luck when you get it done..
FYI. they gave me tylenol pm before my surgery to help me goto sleep afterwards... ( word to the wise - Bring something a little stronger)
the procedure only take 7 mins if that for both eyes and you want to goto sleep as soon as possible, trying to stay up and enduring the pain till the meds kicks in isnt a good feeling at all
GOOD luck to all those are getting New eyes...
I had been considering too, but I dont want to risk both eyes, so I think I will do my left eye first, wait until it "recovered' then do the right eye.
One eye at a time is more expensive.
does age affect the lasik operation decision making? i mean im 37 now and everybody says that it's a waste of money coz by the age of 40 everybody will surely have poorer eyesight. i've been considering lasik for 5 years now.
is it painful? during or after?
Interesting thread. I've been thinking about having this done for a long time but scared to do it (I have an eyephobia... there's probably a decent word for it but eyes do really freak me out). Do you have to be awake during the procedure?
BTW it's a couple of thousand Euro's here.
afaik, yes you'r awake during the opt. it only takes ~10 minutes to complete it
Finished!!!!! 20/20
Surgery finished! 20/20 vision!!!!
And came out with some good drugs! haha j/p
congrats and be careful with the drugs
keep us posted on any side affects like dryness, etc.

Hi all,
if there indeed is a 2012 event.. what would you do?
Do you think we will see something like this in our lifetime?
P/s i love the movie..
There will be indeed, according to Maya documents, but they talk about a consciousness change not about a disaster, which I believe in
I´ll try to be prepared

Im following Nostradaumaus on this one. Because it makes sense.
Put it this way, right now i feel im going to try to survive. But probably when it comes to it im going to be s*** scared!
Let's see...to prepare...
1. Make a simple boat
2. Create a machine that will make urine into drinkable water with materials such as a jug, seaweed, some aquarium air lines, and a pump.
3. Inexplicably grow gills so I's can breathe underwater
4. Rescue a little girl with a map to Mt. Everest, the only place to find dry land.
5. Have a mediocre looking chick name me Ulysses
All within a budget of $235 Million---Oh...wait...that's Waterworld...
I have faith that nothing that bad will ever happen (remember Noah and the rainbow?)
the mayans dont even beleive anything is going to end, their is no justifiable reason showing why the world will end besides some mayans who sacrificed to gods who do not exist
Don't worry It's just a movie...a darn good one
OMG!! People do believe this!!!
When entering millennium many people said that the world will end, but that wasn't the case!! However i do believe that the world will come to an end, just like it begun.
another one to add to the list of hoaxes:

Well the Earth does finish like a 10,000 Year wobble and the sun aligns with the center of the milky way, maybe the planetary alignment will cause something catastrophic.
Whatever happened with Y2K?
I think 2012/12/21 will be a bigger scare then Y2K...
i see whole 401k's being spent and the like.
But thats just me.

Well, being an ex-Honor science student, I can PROMISE you this:
- The Planet has undergone ATLEAST 4 Ice Ages. It is estimated that the cycles happen every 102,500 years. on 2012, it is believe to start the beginning of the Ice Age. People believe that Global Warming is cause by us, but this is not so. Everything again, Everything in the Universe works in Cycles and Frecuencies.
- The Magnetic Field is weakening, and when it gets to weak, it is possible that they swap, if this occurs, then earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tidal waves, and all are unleashed, and not to a minor scale.
- All this leads to an Ice Age. It won't happen overnight, some losses will occur, but humanity will survive.

THe magnetic poles have swapped in the past but I doubt this would be catastrophic. It might be inconvenient though as all our compasses will point the wrong way.
Global warming ... yes the climate does go in cycles but most scientists believe we are pushing things further than the natural cycle. Paul_Days is in the 1% that thinks this is not so. That does not make him wrong - it turned out the Earth wasn't flat after all...even though most people though it probably was.
For now I'll side with the 99% of scientists.

What is it about people and weather? I work on a reception desk so during inclement weather i have to endure a thousand comments a day about how 'nasty' it is.
I LIKE the rain. I LIKE gale force winds. I LIKE thunder storms and great displays of lightning. I LIKE being out in the snow when we get blizzards.
Do people think they'll disolve if they get a little wet? Will they get blown around like an empty crisp packet if the wind picks up a little?
Now i'm moaning which makes me no better than the people i hate for moaning!

I like sunshine and nice white beaches with clear blue ocean water.
Unfortunately I'm on a friggin mountain with NO WATER around.
But I can have sunshine, rain, sleet, hail, and then blizzard like conditions all within the same hour here.
I don't hate the weather... I just wait 15 minutes for it to change again

When your in England, the weather is rain.
End of.
Here's the Malaysian take on weather. If the sky is clear, the weather is good. If it's raining, the weather is good.
Here are exceptions if it's raining:
1. You are outdoors (get wet)
2. You're having an outdoor event (everybody get wet)
3. You are hanging your clothes out to dry (yes, we do that instead of having an expensive dryer)
4. You are in a flooded area (not that it matters anyway)
5. You are drowning (not that it matters anyway)
Here are the exceptions if it's sunny:
1. You are outdoors (too hot!)
2. You are having an outdoor event (everybody too hot!)
3. You are being hung out to dry (yes, they do that to you sometimes. Malaysian Standard Time is actually TOM+2, TOM being Time Of Meeting)
4. You are in a flooded area (time to go home to clean up the mess)
5. You are downing (now it's hot and you are drowning)
Unfortunately I'm on a friggin mountain with NO WATER around.
I love your sense of humor and frame of mind, sakai4eva. You're right: it's unlikely I would care if it were raining if I was in the middle of drowing.
Tell you one thing, tho... I'd far rather take my chances with storms than with earthquakes, in light of what places like California, New Zealand, and other fault areas can be like when bad stuff happens there.

Hmm... we (Malaysia) are advertised as the country without earthquakes, although the probability that the building you are in is defective is almost guaranteed. Our stadiums collapse, the parliament leaks when there's rain, pedestrian bridges cost a few thousand bucks a meter, etc.
Of course, we build a billion ringgit palace for our monarch. Just because we can.

+1 on this.....
Unfortunatly I also have to deal with the general public on a day to day basis.
The one I hate most is;
"Have you seen the weather today?"
To which I have two replys that I would love to throw at them.....
"No, due to the fact that I travel to work through a system of instant matter transportation there is no need for me to set foot outside, therefore I have not seen todays weather. Kindly enlighten me as to the current temperature and amount of precipitation. Also feel free to offer your expert opinion on how long you think it will last and how it is affected by global warming..."
Or...
"Unless you think that I live in my place of work, then you should be aware that I have been forced to leave my house this morning and travel here to listen to you spout this crap.... Therefore, yes I am aware of the current weather conditions and have no interest in discussing them. Please take your ill informed opinions and meteriological analysis and shove them up your ass."
Sadly, I have bills to pay and have no choice but to nod, smile politely etc etc...
We have a wee bit of rioting in Belfast this evening. There's a parade on somewhere or other. Got me thinking about rioting in general. We get a lot of it here. LAst summer was particularly bad with a lot of rioting around the city and around NI in general. this is a video from last year at Ardoyne. It doesn't kick of right away but it gets a bit out of hand. This one is quite tame. Afterwards a policewoman was seriously inured when a rioter through some concrete on her.
Belfast and Vancouver may be on different continents but they have the perennial riots in common. It's only 0.1% of each population though, while the rest look on thinking 'what a bunch of asshats'
It'll all change given, oh i don't know....300 years? Shame we won't be around to enjoy the peace!

i was however stuck in the middle of the riots last year (if i remember right) along the lower windsor avenue when the polish supporters clashed with the local ones.

rioting is one thing but the assassination in the antrim base, the cold blooded murder of the police officer in craigavon and the recent ones as well have taken things just a bit too far. what do they hope to achieve. yes i do know they are fighting for a cause, but blood baths isnt the answer.
It has really kicked off the last two nights with up to 500 on Monday night rioting and 700 last night. A photographer was shot in the leg last night, you can read the article here.
Shots have been fired by both sides of the community and there is very little the police can do without being heavy handed. This is putting such a negative slant on Northern Ireland which is a fantastic little country.
Let's face it, humans don't need a reason to be violent. They just need an excuse.

That's no big deal. If some idiot wants to keep paying taxes on a new car every 6 months, that's more money for the local government than the price of the tags. Remember that the taxes on the whole vehicle are paid at the time of the vehicle's actual sale, which means right before the vehicle is driven off the lot.
Remember that California has a sales tax rate of 7.75%, so every 6 months, they get to charge $10230.00 in sales tax. When the vehicle gets flipped 6 months later, they get to nail it for sales tax a second time.
Basically, this idiot was paying more than $20000 per year just to drive without plates. The average price of a new car in the US is under $30000, also known as 18 months of driving without plates for stupidface.
Sorry, but this MORON didn't find any loophole. He found a hole to shove money into by the wheelbarrow.

Milton Keynes road system FTW!

It works great as long as you ignore that some of the H roads go vertical and some of the V go horizontal.
The main utilities are buried in the banks either side of the roads so traffic doesn't have to be delayed by roadworks.
The grid wasn't the first design though. Originally the plan was a 4 leaf clover layout, with a monorail around the border. How cool would that have been?
No home was to be more than a 5 minute walk from a bus stop, and 15 minutes from a monorail stop.
Way too expensive though so they dropped it.
They did, back in the 50s/60s foresee a time when homes would have more than one car which is pretty foward thinking for the time.
Although they forgot about the need for a hospital or firestation!
New home owners were given a voucher to buy and plant a tree, resulting in hundreds of trees needing to be ripped up 20-30 years later due to growing too close to roads/buildings etc.

And just imagine, how many chinese children has died in Foxconn sweatshops just to buy Uncle Steve a merc every six months
I have recently made the switch from stinky "analog" or regular cigarettes and love it. I got a Joyetech eGo-t starter set for myself and the wife because it came with two complete vaporizers. Just wonder I g if there were any members here who use PV's and what flavors or strengths you use.
Thanks,

Yes it was tested on animals, didn't fit.
I'm a fan of the Blu myself (never was a cigarette smoker but I like it for when I'm drinking and it's perfectly fine to use indoors).
I tried an e-cig, and the real thing is better for me. Yes, this is me quitting smoking lol. I am at a stage where I only smoke when I want to, not when I have to. I can go on for days not smoking, then one day I'll just decide to smoke one.
I tried an e-cig for a bit and got bored with it. About a month or two after that I didn't feel like buying cigs anymore so I just stopped smoking.
Aren't they worse for you than actual cigarettes?
I smoke like there's no tomorrow.
My wife has e-cigs, but they're menthol. Barf.

Sort of. There's nothing that will ever give you the same taste as a real ciggy. My thing is, I've smoked almost every day since i was 14 and I'm 29 now. I did quit in basic training because I couldn't get any. Sadly I picked em back up.
There are flavors with and without nicotine in them. I have talked to some people that haven't smoked ever but picked up a PV because the flavors you could use.
Personally, I've had 4 ciggys in the last week and felt like trash after. So far I've tried a menthol, regular, apple martini, my dew, caramel apple, and a sorta camel gold flavor.
All flavors seem to have a sweet taste but, my lungs feel better and the morning breath is not near as bad as before.
Besides, when a customer comes into where I work and they just got done smoking, it smells like a bad barbecue.
If you've ever smelled "Liquid Smoke" (for cooking) its strong lime that. Never realized I smelled like that......

Thanks matey. I need to quit the cigs and was thinking of giving these a try. Guess you can get them in the UK
I am! I have been vaping for about 5-6 months now. www.totallywicked-eliquid.com is a pretty nice site for hardware, and myfreedomsmokes.com is a great site for ejuice and their pretty reasonable on prices, they also sell hardware but I like the quality of totally wicked. I also mix my own juice, once you get a little more experieced I would look into it. It saves money to mix your own and you can mix to basically any strength you like. Myfreedomsmokes carrys all of the diy yourself items you would need.
Here's a pic of part of my collection.

The strengths are something you'll wanna play with, I started on 24mg, and now I'm using 16-18mg depending on certain flavors. Also I like VG based juice, they tend to produce a little more vapor.

I started with..... ummmm...... 20 or 30mg and I gotta say there is little to no menthol in the "Cowboy Menthol" that I got. I deff need to look into the whole day thing. I have a eGo-T myself. Wide drip-tip tank. My wife has the exact same setup and we both have had them for the same time. Hers leaks like a sieve. The local shop said the atomizer melts the tip and gave her a rubber like cap for it. Still leaks. Also have a clear tank but I think something wrong with that one. Little to no smoke there......
Anyways, any samples in your cupboard?

Nope, as far as i know you only get steam and nicotine in you, while with regular tobacco you'll get some nicotine, some benzen, half a horse and a dead baby seal in your lungs.

don't forget the fiber glass! :good:
There's that and you can order or make your own mixes where there is no nicotine content. Just whatever flavor you want. Like apple pie or Mt. Dew......
And let's not forget other additive lime formaldehyde. You know, the stuff they pump thru dead bodies after the autopsy?
