Aww. Hey, you know, I'm interested in something called orthokeratology. Which is basically wearing a contact lens as you sleep so you'll have perfect vision for the day.

http://www.allaboutvision.com/contacts/orthok.htm that's the first link I got when I googled for it.

My housemate's got contacts that he only needs to take out to clean once a week... could be the same thing. Haven't heard a complaint about it. =)

Doesn't sound like its the same..

You wear ortho-k lenses while you sleep and take it off during the day.. So, basically u don't need contacts/glasses while you are out and about during the day...

He must be wearing some kind of durable, low maintenance contacts..

I do have friends who doesn't take out their contacts all that often. But then again they are normally just plain lazy... ;P

What's the failure rate for LASIK huh?

Something that costs that much should be permanent, damn it!! ;P

but LASIK never said it's 100% permanent. Cases of regression has been known to happen, and those interested are usually warned of this beforehand. :)

We were indeed warned. LASIK of astigmatism has an even higher rate of regression than that of short-sightedness, but I can't remember the rates no more.

If it had been me paying, I wouldn't have done it, but since parents offered, and hey! Even though I still have to pay for glasses, at least my glasses now cost RM200 instead of RM800!

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah,

This is formerly crypto2006, that user who posted those rude comments on the islam_like_whoa community last year. I'm the one who commented on how I didn't like the way the stories of the Prophets were being told in that journal.

Remember me? Because I thought they were being made fun of I got pissed off and commented on some of the posts thinking that I was enjoining the right and forbidding the wrong. Recently I've realized that I was the one who was wrong for the harsh statements I made. So I am apologizing now, I hope all of the Muslim members at islam_like_whoa who read those posts would forgive me.
