I wear contacts and find that my eyes get much more sore here than they did in the UK. I think it's probably a combination of sand in the air plus air-conditioning. She'll just have to wear glasses more often, I'm afraid.

Yeah that's what they've said, plus her eyesight is terrible, -4.75 in both eyes.

Poor mrs spugs- Ill give her a bell tonight - I didn't realise her sight was that bad- and Im now thinking of the time she gave me a lift with just one contact lense in...

Funnily enough I ended up wearing my glasses loads in the UK but don't really bother here - having siad that my sight is only a teeny bit iffy.

ha ha, she hates driving at night as well.

And her lights weren't working properly and she got told off by the mechanic as the wires were loose and her headlines were on about 30% of the power.

Mine isn't much better. :(

I'm too scared to have the lazer treatment. You have to keep your eyes still whilst they point lazers in your eyes. You are wide awake and can apparently smell burning. YUK!

Yeah so I hear, I wear lenses and I'm fine with them, -1.5 in both which isn't too bad.

no, UK. There is no way I would trust anyone here with my eyes.

I can confirm that it is the most horrific experience of my life. I've had moles and things removed under local anesthetic (and watch the whole procedure) as I'm 100% not squirmish, but the whole eye thing was awful. In fact, if it wasn't for the fact that they had already cut my right eye I would have stopped it after he did the left one.

* that said, it's great now.

i've had three friends have their eyes done with the same doctor here and all have been really great...there are scare stories in the uk as well (some of these cheap get it done for a tenner type things)...think as long as you go to someone who has been personally recommended, it's fine...

MM, xx
