Neither of my eyes are bad enough to get contacts, but my right eye is worse than my left.

you didnt have to go get a new license and get a new photo and get your eyes checked when you turned 21?
no, actually I moved from South Carolina to Miami about three years ago and all I had to do is give them my old driver's license. I was under 21 still at the time but I didnt have to take the test, i dont need to renew my license for awhile.

yeah it seems that florida is much more leniant with that stuff...when i hit 21 NY required me to go in and get all that stuff done in order to update my license...the only problem was i was living in florida at the time!

I forget what I was before lasik, -3 or 4 I think... Had lasik twice now - I had it when I was too young and my eyes were still changing, so I just had it again a few months ago. its really not that bad, and soooooo worth it

The doc said that when they do lasik, if they got the patients eyes to my eyes it would be a successful surgery, thats why they wouldnt do it. The benefit doensnt outweigh the risk. I drive fine without my contacts of glasses, but if i forget my contacts or glasses at school, I might as well drive home because I cant write anything the teacher writes on the board.
sounds like your doctor is the ethical type.
