I don't know the actual numbers but mine is poor, I wear glasses with invisible bifocals (so I can read the computer screen) an have since I was in my 20s.

Used to do contacts but I fried my eyes with them, I never took them out on college. Yes, I get the dunbass award. So glasses for the next 60 or so years for me.

I got the Lasik last August, in just a day after the surgery my vision was about 20/30, but over the past couple months it has kept improving. Last week my right eye measured 20/15. Still not sure about the left, but hopefully it will have improved as well.

I have no idea. Funny thing is I just had a eye test today to get a new pair of glasses.

According to the paper they gave me...

Sphere
O.D. -2.50
O.S. -2.50

Cylinder
O.D. -0.50
O.S. -1.25

Axis
O.D. 103
O.S. either 0/0 or 010

Now what the hell all that means? I have no idea. It is my prescription, I know that. I don't know if you can figure out the vision(i.e. 20/20) from that or not.

Blind as a bat. Been wearing contacts since freshman year of HS. Hate glasses for a variety of reasons. I am now a candidate for the corrective surgery but do not like the idea of voluntarily allowing someone to mess with my eyes. I know lots of people who have had no problems with the surgery, but the few who have had problems are enough of a reason not to. As my wife says, there is no such thing as a minor procedure.

Amen.

My dad is one of the people you speak of who had the procedure and it didn't work.

So the other day I was eating something (I don't remember what) where the box advertised 0 grams of trans-fats. I don't know what trans-fats are, but I was pretty glad I wasn't getting any of that in my stomach. But then I started wondering whether trans-fats are real. Maybe they're just made-up, for people to read on the box "0 grams of trans-fats." They could make up anything that sounds bad, advertise that it has 0 grams of it in there, and they aren't lying. "0 grams of doowurffs." Or maybe they don't even have to make something up. They can just advertise something like "0 grams of monkey testicles." Maybe someone shopping for bread will see that this brand has 0 grams of monkey testicles, and this brand doesn't say 0 grams. The second brand might have monkey testicles in it. I don't want monkey testicles.

That's all I have to say about that.

There's a conversation in "Animal House" where Donald Sutherland and one of the nerdy pledges are stoned and talking about "What If?" scenario that most of us has probably considered. Basically, the theory is that each atom has the capability of having tiny microscopic life forms, possibly very advanced. These life forms live their lives much the way we do, and have no idea that there is a greater form of life outside of their mini-solar system. That would mean that we could actually all be a particle of a being that is much larger than anything we could realize. Basically, our solar system may be an atom in the fingernail of this giant being.

Our solar system is held together by gravity. The sun's gravitation holds the planets in orbit. In the case of the atom, however, the particles are WAY too small to have enough gravitational forces to hold them together. Magnetism holds them in orbit. So my questions is this: If we are just an atom in the fingernail of a giant (and let's assume that the giant lives on a planet that also has its own solar system) what forces hold the giant to his planet and the planet to his solar system?
