Hi guys, I'm 28, a healthy male, and for a long time would only need glasses when I did computer work/reading. Before, they had diagnosed me with minor nearsightedness and some astigmatism correction. Turns out, however, that the optometrists found out ( after dialating me ) that I'm actually a latent hyperope; my muscles were just working extra hard to focus before. In fact, I was starting to get headaches easily while doing computer work, so it makes sense. They prescribed a half-way prescription that doesn't go all the way to what my dialated state would be, just takes some of the strain off my eyes while making a more gradual adjustment. The downside is that now, though the headaches have gone away, I can no longer see as clearly without my glasses. This all makes sense to me: my muscles have been trained to work less hard, but that means blurrier vision without correction. But sounds like when I'm 40, as my eye muscles weaken, I'm going to need the full correction, and wear them all the time. I'm just wondering if eye surgery will be an option for me. My ex actually was the one who did the exam (we were together at the time ) and she said that lasik was not a good idea for someone like me, but I never really understood why not. ( I'd feel weird asking her now what the logic was. ) Any ideas, or maybe she was just being conservative? Thanks! Isaac
