Good call, Harry. Fuck Lasik! by SpyGuy	Dec 4th, 2008 03:16:46 PM
Everyone I know that has Lasik complains about it.

I don't like the idea of something touching my eyes. That and needles freak me out!!!
this story is a non sequitur by frankenfickle	Dec 4th, 2008 03:18:33 PM
regardless, you know what i've noticed harry? depth perception is much better with contacts. now get back on the stairmaster private pyle.

Sweet, now DVD reviews please! by SoylentMean	Dec 4th, 2008 03:19:26 PM
That's actually a motivation to get contact lenses that I understand. Fuck you theater owners for not giving us clip on 3-D glasses! Fuck you!

Contacts are the HD-DVD of vision correction. by thebearovingian	Dec 4th, 2008 03:27:28 PM

When I had Lasik done... by ZsAsZz	Dec 4th, 2008 03:27:31 PM
They gave me the only thing cooler than Harry's pictures of his own glowing eyeballs - a video of them cutting open the end of my eyeball, using a vacuum to clean off the goo, shooting it with lasers, and putting it back together. Fucking awesome. I was legally blind so it was worth it for me. Not sure I would have done it otherwise. Been years and no issues yet.

Who gives a shit? by Harrigan	Dec 4th, 2008 03:31:09 PM
"Well... A few days ago I went to see BOLT in 3D and - well, I hate putting 3D glasses on top of my regular glasses - and I don't want to go through with the expense of LASIK LASERING OF MY EYEBALLS - and I've always liked the eyedea of contacts. So a few days ago I randomly picked an Optometrist out to go get my eyeballs evaluated for the exo-lenses for me vision. Basically - I feel I need protection for the fucking that AVATAR is going to be giving my eyes this time next year." How ridiculous is that paragraph?
I had a lazy eye for the first 16 years of my life... by odo19	Dec 4th, 2008 03:31:32 PM
so 3D never fucking worked at all for me growing up. Annoyed the hell out of me I could'nt see what everyone else was. I think Beowulf was the first film I saw that was 3D where I could properly see what 3D was all about.

Lasik - worst mistake of my life. by HoboCode	Dec 4th, 2008 03:33:18 PM
I had it done about 6 or 7 years ago. It took me 2 weeks to heal. It took me a year before I could see at night without halos around every light. I still don't see 20-20. And I have chronic dry-eye that requires me to use eye drops.

I had to give it up due to a nerve problem and I still should make an appointment for that where I work. Besides, I think it hinders my cosplay/acting abilities somewhat.
Don't be such a baby, Harry. LASIK by Alifemde	Dec 4th, 2008 03:43:51 PM
It's easy, and you never have to worry about glasses or contacts again. You can use your kick-back money from Godzilla '98, all of Tarantino's movies, and whatever else the studios pay you for to get you to praise their films to pay for it! Win win!
Okay this was disturbing by Orionsangels	Dec 4th, 2008 03:45:10 PM
Anyway, I saw BOLT 3D and had no problem putting the 3D glasses over my own glasses.

You went to one of those "$299 Lasik!" specials that advertise in the Sunday comics didn't you.... Your eyes are things that you need to NOT go cheap on. Had mine done 5 years ago, am at 20/15 still, no deterioration of the surgery, and no dry eye. If you're going to do something to your eyes, people, spend a little more and get the GOOD operation. Seriously.

at first glance anyway...sorry. My bad. Be glad it's not like getting neutered. The put the poor pooch in an upright stradle (he's not on his back but the device spreads his legs exposing the family jewels). Then this dude in a lab coat and big thick welding glasses comes in with a giant shoulder-attached laser canon. He stand and aims slowly and methodically and gently depresses the trigger lasering your dog's balls into oblivion. It's totally and completely heinous. My dog took a shit in my Lucky CHarms box the following day. Lesson learned.

weak stereo-vision is very common, and that fact will keep 3D from ever being the future of cinema. It will always be just a gimmick that only some can enjoy.

I once sat throught BNAT with wire holding my glasses together. by The Reluctant Austinite	Dec 4th, 2008 04:11:35 PM
It's true. I came down to Austin and my frames immediately broke. PETER BLOOD'S wife did a MacGuyver and used a small wire wrapped around them to hold them together so I could go to BNAT the next day. It was my true geek moment, and could have only been better if we used tape.
Re 3D: by GoSensGo	Dec 4th, 2008 04:12:41 PM
Could you wear a red contact and a blue contact and skip the 3D glasses completely?
Harry has chosen toilet paper and here's why.. by BobParr	Dec 4th, 2008 04:14:42 PM
Hey folk, Harry here. I used to wipe my ass with my left hand (while typing with my right) and one day I got poop all over my keyboard. So Yoko suggested I use a 3rd party material to wipe my ass. So now I've got a clean ass and something to write about other than the faggy vampire movies Yoko drags me to. I miss my dingleberries.

Caveat ocular by TheGreatPumpkin	Dec 4th, 2008 04:19:45 PM
Harry - I have to tell you that some years ago I went to see Sky Captain and my right contact lens jumped right out of my eye. The movie was unwatchable right then and there (I tried closing the eye, but the loss of depth-perception was unbearable)... Just keep some rewetting drops and your glasses with you at BNAT - you will likely need them both! ...and no, I don't know if being unable to see Sky Captain made it better or worse... (kidding, I did see it fully again a few days later and liked it. Well, the idea of it mostly). The only problems I have had since are usually my eyes drying out when I absolutely CAN'T LOOK AWAY, like with Wall-E, for example. Just saying...
Harry hit a soft spot. by The Reluctant Austinite	Dec 4th, 2008 04:21:17 PM
I've had glasses since high school, and tried contacts once but my eyeslots are very small and I couldn't get them in. By the time I'd get them in, I looked a mess. I've wanted to get lasik for the last 15 years but each year I never was able to save the money to have it done. As a lifelong film fan, I worry about my eyes a lot. Going blind is the one thing I fear more than anything. I'm not afraid to die, but as long as I'm here, I want to be able to see film. Halloween is always a problem. This year I was a monster at a church haunted house, but there are limitations on what monsters I can do. I can't do masks. Some make-up doesn't work. Dracula can't wear glasses, and try wearing KISS or Alice Cooper make-up with glasses. Or don't. Please. You do get used to your glasses, but they're like a ball and chain you have to carry with you.

3D movies are annoying. by Pissed Off And Bitter	Dec 4th, 2008 04:36:26 PM
I saw Beowulf in 3D and through the whole film I had a headache from those fucked up glasses. Cameron says that going 3D will get butts back into seats, a pompous statement if I ever heard one. Avatar won't be fucking anything if I have a headache while watching it. They seriously need to master 3D without the damn glasses. Oh yeah and contacts rock. Lasik is a 50/50 shot. If you're gonna fuck with your eyes, make sure you go with someone who comes highly recommended.
Harry, can you post the links by the milf lover	Dec 4th, 2008 04:36:51 PM
to your open leg and stomach? I missed those, and only seeing your eyes is like watching the third movie of a trilogy after missing the first two: it doesnt make any sense!!!!!
Reluctant Austinite by HEADGEEK	Dec 4th, 2008 04:38:53 PM
I feel your pain - I hate having to come up with Glass wearing characters for Halloween and I miss wearing masks, as lenses fog up under the mask. Actually - after the exam, my wife and I did some Christmas shopping and went into Hot Topic - and they had a Joker ski mask, that I instantly pulled on... and... could look out the eyeholes CLEARLY and without having to put goofy glasses on the Joker! Amazing!

I've never had a problem with Halloween masks, I just remove my glasses. I do however have a problem bumping into things and crushing small children with my horrendous monster stomp on that day. The trick is to wrap your shoes and legs with bubble wrap. Also, a cowbell is helpful. Couldn't wear masks because of glasses! Pshaw!

I stopped using contacts this year... by cifra	Dec 4th, 2008 05:00:33 PM
after 19 years doing so. One slipped backwards of my eyeball and stayed there for 15 hours. Of course I went to ask for help but I was told that probably it fell and my pain was due to having touched my eye with dirty finger... after a whole night without sleeping, it popped out at 5 AM, covered with infection... went to the doctor next morning and told me I was SO lucky, 'cause that rarely happens (the contact popping out again on its own) and that she always advise people to NOT use contact, as they're an open entrance for all kind of infections. Sigh. Once has been enough, it was a real nightmare.

I find myself thinking about laser correction, but just can't afford it right now (I don't trust the low-price advertisers - it's the eyes, y'know?). So instead, I turned to the ol' glasses towards the end of a day. I do envy those that don't need any corrective lenses at all. Plus now, I need reading glasses, too when I wear the contacts, go figure.

Don't use the red-tip rewetting drops... by TheGreatPumpkin	Dec 4th, 2008 05:41:15 PM
Oh yeah, doesn't everyone who uses contacts know someone who uses the burn-your-eyes-horribly solution that has to sit overnight with the special container? Don't mix that shit up, seriously. Spray it in yer eye, make you want to die. It's like macing yourself.

Listen up mother fuckers by C0ns	Dec 4th, 2008 05:58:45 PM
I got my eyes lasered real good. Let me tell you, best move of my life. The operation itself was like booting a little sad lookin' kitten; sure, i didn't enjoy it, but in the end it was really nothing. No pain at all, and it's basically just like the coolest fucking light show ever. And then it's done. like 4 minutes. seriously. No big deal. And it's life changing man. People who can see won't be able to understand this, but after living your life relying on glasses or contacts to suddenly moving on to being able to get up in the morning and you can just see... it's phenomenal. Just get a good doctor, and you're golden baby.

Lasik is painfull to watch... by Ironmuskrat	Dec 4th, 2008 06:17:12 PM
My wife had lasik done about a year ago. They doped her up on Valium and put numbing drops in her eyes before the operation. Being a dutiful husband I was there with her during the surgery. The nurse ask me if I wanted to watch the procedure, I said OK. I stood outside the operating room in the hallway looking thru a window. I thought "cool, I can't really see anything, this won't be so bad." Then the nurse proceeds to roll up a big ass 42 inch flat screen TV with nothing but my wife's eyeball filling the screen. I then got the pleasure of watching the eye doctor slice and dice her eyes with lasers, poke them repeatedly with metal objects, rub them with swabs. Basically think of every horrible thing you would never want to have happen to your eyes and I got to see it happen in high def. My wife asked before the surgery how they would keep her from blinking or closing her eyes during the operation, the nurse said not to worry, they would use a speculum to keep her eyes open. As it turned out speculum is a fancy word for big metal hooks under your eyelids. Funny part is my wife said she didn't feel a thing and could only see a red light during the procedure. She got 20/20 vision and I still have nightmares about metal hooks and eyeballs.

Harry, you gotta do it. It made everything better; swimming, going to the movies and the "spiderman" moment in the morning when you first wake up is incredible! The best is the valium they give you so you don't freak during the operation. Just go for it because contacts suck.

Oh go fuck yourself. You don't know wht I spent on my lasik. The procedure is the procedure anyway.

contacts and IOL by Himbo	Dec 4th, 2008 06:50:55 PM
I joked to Harry about contacts as I thought he looked like greasy German from Raiders [this comes from a guy who looks more like the greasy German]. Contacts are a great intermediate step. But rather than LASIK, I'm saving for the implantable intra-ocular lens [IOL]. Which in addition to being upgradable as needed, makes you kinda bionic.
If you get lasik, you can forget about space travel by DonnyUnitas	Dec 4th, 2008 07:21:14 PM
They won't even let you be a Naval Aviator, due to nitrogen expansion that will make your eyes explode from the surgery. Thats why Intra-ocular lenses are the SOP for the military. I'm not sold on Lasik just yet. Oh, and for the record, DannyGloversDickBlood is one of the funniest talkbackers on this site.

I can swim and do anything and everything I want with crystal clear vision. I wake up in the morning with 20/20 vision - no glasses, no hassle of contacts. Contacts suck. Lasik is worth it in the long run...

Thanks for the compliment. My genius sometimes goes unappreciated on the TBs. I don't know if Harry is out of his head, receiving bad advice from Yoko, or just baiting us a little bit with some of his recent posts.

...has developed by leaps and bounds the past few years. Every yes it's more accurate and safer. And yes, spend as much as possible and don't go to a place that takes coupons. It is NOT the same procedure everywhere... there is different levels of equipment/lasers, and oh yea, EXPERTISE.
Every "year," not "yes." by waylayer	Dec 4th, 2008 10:13:27 PM
Geebus it looks like I'm a prime candidate for it.
Thankyou Harry by hallmitchell	Dec 4th, 2008 10:32:34 PM
I've never heard of that procedure before.

Funniest TB in ages. by Gilkuliehe	Dec 4th, 2008 11:37:52 PM
Seriously, somebody give Bob Parr an award. Oh and I'm definetly getting my eyes lasered, the TBers convinced me. And the reverse prophecy powers of Harry's "here's why" too. Way to bet on the wrong horses, dude.
Harry, an honest question (or two)... by half vader	Dec 5th, 2008 12:08:42 AM
With the lap-band, how is it you can have that and still work out/go to the gym? Is it because you're still in the wheelchair and don't put as much strain on your stomache? I only ask because a doctor was saying that if you have the band then you can't be doing things which put strain on it and either stretch it (defeating the purpose), or put it in danger of bursting. Seems like gym/weights would do that. What's the deal? I guess the other question is did your Doctor talk about both the benefits and drawbacks of Laser surgery? Mine told me about the dry-eye thing which she said was not a matter of a good or bad procedure at all but more akin to a type of rejection by the body. And all these TBers with their "It's brilliant - fuck you!" or "It sucks, fuck you!" aren't helpful in the least...

Doctor told me that I could begin to lightly work out at the gym - on the weight regimen 2 weeks after the surgery. The weighted ab crunches I couldn't do for about a month and a half at my pre-surgery weight limit, but everything else was fine. What they're talking about is gorging your self on food. The lapband is 1 part of the process. It limits the amount you can eat at a given time, forcing you to eat about 6 times a day. What you eat those six times will help to define your success/failure level. However, just the process of spreading the meals out over smaller amounts throughout your waking hours helps to change your metabolism. That added to the gym work - really speeds things up. I haven't been hitting the gym as much as I did pre-surgery, mainly due to my wife's work schedule being increased and us not prioritizing it - which will be changing shortly - as I dearly miss the gym.
People have gastric surgery... by emeraldboy	Dec 5th, 2008 05:14:35 AM
and think thats it. you have to stick to the post op diet. rigidly. successful people like wynona judd evangelise Gastric band ops. We dont have that amount money that people like jud or john popper have. and we dont have people to control our diets like they do. which is why i guess when it goes wrong people do it over again or just give up. as for contact lenses. I wear glases. I once heard a story about a man in the uk who wore lenses and he ended being blinded by a parasite which got on to a lens after he washed it. IT was on documentary series presented by Ross Kemp before he went off to visit very dangerous gangs around the world.
Glad it worked for you Harry by The McPoyle Clan	Dec 5th, 2008 05:19:22 AM
but I bet the BNAT attendees are going to be disappointed when they open up their goodie bags only to see bottles of saline and Renu!
TOO SOON!!! by Cletus Van Damme	Dec 5th, 2008 07:33:41 AM
Two major surgeries so close together??? TOO SOON, HARRY!!!! Lol, God bless you, buddy. I hope it works out for you!
Paul Benedict just died by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Dec 5th, 2008 07:44:53 AM
He was the Jeffersons' neighbor, and was on Sesame Street.
Hey thanks for that Harry. by half vader	Dec 5th, 2008 08:03:37 AM
I knew it was about limiting the size of the stomach to make you feel 'full' much quicker, and of course the many meals/faster metabolism is an old one, but I hadn't thought about the strain thing. Just makes me worry that's all! Thanks again mate.
Next up: Harry Knowles Colonoscopy by Abominable Snowcone	Dec 5th, 2008 10:08:38 AM
Give him a mild sedative and have a Roto-rooter guy team with a doctor to jam the cam. There be smurfs livin' in there
The reason Harry shouldn't get LASIK by Mr Incredible	Dec 5th, 2008 11:32:58 AM
Didn't Harry say he was a Type 2 diabetic? High and low sugar levels can play havoc with the blood vessels in the retina, hence LASIK could be just a big waste of time, never knowing how your vision could be in a couple of years. Contacts aren't bad, and glasses are a decent compromise. I wear glasses, and I had no problem watching BEOWULF in 3-D. Good luck with the weight loss, Harry.

Thanks. Even if I do go blind I'll have that image of you servicing Harry's 9 inches burned into my brain. And Talkbackers want photos of the deed!
Sailor's Wank by mrbong	Dec 5th, 2008 02:32:07 PM
since we are getting into personal habits here, how many of you have a Sailor's, and how often? for those that don't know, it means whacking one off with your other hand, ie with your left if you are right handed.
wanking over AVATAR by mrbong	Dec 5th, 2008 02:35:11 PM
this has got to stop. Cameron has not made a film in over a decade, and has delivered not hints or peeks of any substance that shows if this will be any good or not. all everyone is doing is opening up a dangerous platform for "James Cameron Raped My Childhood" posts within minutes of the first bootleg of the film being downloaded.
I don't want to Avatar to fuck me in the eyes by My Mom Is A Whore	Dec 5th, 2008 03:01:04 PM
Please, Avatar, do not fuck me in the eyes. You can be a great movie without resorting to the eyefucking. Yes, you can.

Why does everyone automatically believe Harry's got by half vader	Dec 6th, 2008 03:40:02 AM
9 inches? Can't you see it's the words of a loving wife who has trouble with metric conversion? Maybe Harry has been working out, but that's not what we mean when we call him "big guy". Oh and ;)
At least Harry can laugh at the whole "here's why" thing by half vader	Dec 6th, 2008 03:42:05 AM
