Hey Lucy, I had asked this question in the English with Lucy channel as well but I did not get any reply from you, hence I am asking again. Can you please recommend a few books on kindle for teens (around 13-15) Hope you reply this time. Regards from India, Nishka

I was short sighted and after getting fed up with lenses/glasses, which by the way I was so uncomfortable with that I wasn't wearing them at all unless I really had to, I decided to have the surgery almost 10 years ago. I still remember that feeling when I realized I could see perfectly as I was leaving the hospital. Best decision I've ever made.

Hi Lucy I hope your visions keeps getting better. I had lasik eye surgery in 2008 at age 31 and it was good it does change your life with me i played a lot of sport so not wearing glasses was great. Although I had to have my right eye done again about 9 years later so I can see good long distance with both eyes but my short vision now is not so good, but as you age your visions slowly deteriorates :( but you are young so do not worry.

Hello Teacher Lucy Bella Earl. This upload is truly something very helpful. Good awareness upload. I never realised you had this problem. Any issue related to health is really scary. Issues related to eye is really scary. When you mentioned about astigmatism it gave me a vicarious feeling. I must say I feel frightened to hear that. And you managed to get over such an ordeal is really heartening. Thanks for sharing this Teacher Lucy Bella Earl. Any issue related to health scares me. It motivates me and many to consult about health issues. I have been seeing many of your lessons during this ongoong COVID 19 Pandemic and it has been really helpful. Your lessons makes me happy amid this dark period. Thanks a lot Teacher Lucy Bella Earl.

I couldnt wear my make up for a month either. But it's totally worth it.

Knowing you had issues with your eye sight was really scary. It is really frightening. It is really good you shared this highly personal upload of yours to all your fans. Thanks a lot Lucy Bella Earl. I am glad to that you could get over this adversity. Having issues with our eyes is a frightening thing. When we have eyes we will not realise its preciousness.

I had laser eye surgery 22 years ago when i was 25 in China. In the first month after the sergury, my vision was 1.5. After 3 months, it dropped to 1.2. Now, i tested today, it is still 1.2 although i play smartphone all the time. The total surgery cost was RMB 15000 about us$1700 at exchange rate of 1998. The surgery took only few minutes, and no pain at all.

@mohammadn6743 3 года назад

Thanks Lucy for this clip. A very important issue. I was thinking for a while if I should operate my eyes too since I have astigmatism too. But I also have to think of the money and I am not sure if I really need that surgery but I will ask my doctor. Happy for you that everything went well and you feel great today.

@vicrichards6380 3 года назад

If you are considering laser eye surgery, please, please think very carefully. The fact is laser eye surgery is extremely dangerous. I've had it done myself and it has ruined my life. Years on, my vision is the worst it has ever been and I am still in pain. In fact, most people who have told me they have had it done, have also had some kinds of problems, many of them serious and life-changing. Research seems to bear this out, suggesting that problems are the norm, rather than the exception. Companies providing such surgery have little or no scruples, withhold information about the dangers and pay their staff commissions. Surgeons who carry out the procedures should also not be trusted. The fact that they act in contravention of guidelines laid down by the Royal College of Ophthalmologists should tell you enough. If you are still tempted, make sure you seek advice from an independent optometrist or ophthalmologist who has nothing to gain from you having surgery. The industry is unregulated and that is a serious problem.
