its a lifetime thing. if it happens that your vision starts to deminish again they will redo the surgery for free but the likely hood of my vision going back again is very slim.

Ive never seen this good in my life! it changes everything .  the recovery time is like a day. i went back to work the next day. also you can see right after the surgery and it only took 8 mins for both eyes. its super easy.   a little wierd but doesnt hurt.  after a day you dont feel wierd anymore you are back to normal. i was seeing 20/15 by the next day.

they also offer 12 months no interest to pay it off if you dont want to pay interest. but they offer longer plans too. i hated wearing glasses while riding or working because they always had to be perscription and I spent so much money on contacts and glasses. I got fed up!

It's only another month or so before I break the GS out of hibernation, and I need a new helmet. I currently have an HJC CS-12 - it's a great helmet, when I'm wearing contacts ...

However, any time I wear my glasses, they pinch into my face .... and it's pretty F#$%ing annoying. Are there any glasses-friendly helmets out there that maybe aren't $600 SHOIES / ARAIs?

I wear glasses and I find my HJC CL-Max fits fine. It is a little tight in the rear of the lower jaw, but that's probably because I have a wide head. I wear a M shirt and/or pants and an XL helmet. Go figure.

I just got some new glasses which are a tad wider than my others. I haven't had a chance to go riding with these since my street has had snow on it since the first blizzard on Dec 18. I'm so stir crazy that I'm tempted to go out and ride anyway.

I like my body parts enough, though, that I'm gonna wait until the snow melts totally. Colorado usually loses its snow within a week or so. this year is different.

i swear I died and went to Buffalo. :icon_confused:

I just picked up my Matte Black HJC AC-12, it fits so much better than my CS-12. Reviews say it's a bit on the noisy side, I wear earplugs 90% of the time anyway. Glasses fit in snugly and easily and don't move around, but they seem to hover over my nose - maybe time will change this.




I hear ya yassensei, roll on summer! :)

I wear a Z1R and like it.  I don't wear glasses, but I always ride wearing sunglasses.  I find that the styles with a closer fit to the outer edges of my eyebrows fit better inside the helmet. 

My HJC helmet (CS-12 I think) used to make the sunglasses push on my nose a bit, but not terribly.  The Z1R is better in that respect.

Maybe you should find a style of glasses to fit the helmet you have!

Best Helmet I have had for my glass's was the Nolan Modular helmet.  You should definatly check them out if your haveing problems finding a helmet that will work with your glasses.
