Hi guys,

Have you all heard of Eagle Eye Laser Centre?

They offer LASIK procedures for people with short-sightedness, long-sightedness, astigmatism and presbyopia.

Any chance that you work there?

After thirteen years with mt glasses [and I only remove them when going to bed, taking a shower, or swimming!!], I have come to accept mine as part of my face!

With such sensitive operation, i would rather stick to what i know...... live with it or consult Dr. Joshi of Laser eye centre, Sarit....

If I am not wrong, this costs over KES 200K+ in the US/UK and health insurance companies usually don't touch it because it is considered an elective procedure.

Second, if it was so effective, why do so many ophthalmologists still wear glasses? :) Risk vs Return. Changes to your eye are permanent.

@Jangwa not quite, Laser eye treatment is GBP 300 per eye roughly KSHS 36,000. I too wear glasses and have worn them since class 6-7 so maybe like Mukiha i have come to accept them as part of my face lol, however i have contact lenses too and change them intermittently depending on different circumstances.

However what you need to know bout Laser eye treatment is that it's not permanent after 3-4 years you will be back to where you were if not worse. I almost crossed this line some 3 years back until a colleague told me bout this decided it was just not worth it.

The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence; it is to act with yesterday's logic.

Rather have these bothersome glasses of mine than be rendered blind due to some laser misadventures. Ama is there a warranty for working goat eyes in the event the laser melts my eyeballs?
