As my left eye doesn't really work I'm not risking my right one. Apparently when I had measles as a kid it bolloxed up my left eye so I have a permanent lazy eye to accompany my general work ethic.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

Originally posted by SuperZ View PostIt might also be a trigger for what can become a chronic dry eye condition.
After about 6, one monthly appointments where I was told to carry on using eye drops they ended up fitting these little 'plugs' in my tear ducts. Since then everythings been fine.
However on balance, it was worth it!Comment

I did mine back in '93 when it was still radial keratotomy - they just take the whole front of the cornea off with the laser whereas now they lift up a flap of cornea, laser away underneath and then put the flap back.
I had a bit of scarring but it's never been a problem. I do tend to find driving at night that things get a bit blurry at speeds over about 150mph though.
It's lasted fine these 16 years and sure it hurt like hell at the time, but you have to weigh that up with all the times I've gotten laid (by NOT being a speckoid) so you know, swings and roundabouts.Comment
