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
Ok
I love you❤
Lucy you give me lot of motivation to improve my English .. I Know its not so good.. And I'm very bad in English. But you gives me power and courage .. I also have my RUclips channel. And I start it in August 2020.
I'm so glad that you and Will can finally see eye to eye.
Yes I know, that was a bad joke.
😂😂
I think it is so romantic 😘
😂🤓🥰😍
I had the same surgery 4 years ago and it changed my life 😍😊. I had astigmatism and myopia since I was 13 years old. Love you lucy!!
So happy for you Guillermina!!!!!!!
I have studied from book about astigmatism but i really didn't understand what happens due to astigmatism so could you tell me plz?
maths point i got astigmatism
One cause that makes me like this is continual playing video games and watch videos on youtube. I had watched all day maybe 12/24. My eyes are hurt badly now
@@baongoc9842so, what will you going to do???
Does it hurt?🥺
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.
So glad to hear that :D
Whenever someone tells me about
Laser eye treatment my mind goes to final destination movie
I feel it bro :,D
Oh the gruesome scene.....
LMAO. We have same thing.
same
Or that scene in A Clockwork Orange where they force him to watch the movie 🤣
I had mixed astigmatism (+ and - simultaneously) and did this surgery 10 years ago. It really changed my life! And I still have ideal eyesight
Hello, i have also mix astigmatism.
I would like to ask you which procedure was done to you? Prk or Lasik?
Thanks, Lucy, for sharing that experience!
Good to see you here after a little long time, Lucy.
❤️
I adore her speech 😍.I feel relaxed when I listen her 💕🥺
I had laser eye surgery almost 3 years ago. I have gone through so many doubts because I couldn't find enough information about such surgery on high levels of myopia (I had -10 dioptrics on the left eye and -9 dioptrics on the right eye). Now I can say that it was the best decision in my life.
Wooooow! That’s my myopia as well! Very interesting for me to know that you were able to do the surgery! 😍
How is it now? Do you still use glasses?
@@diegoyuiop It's good. I don't use glasses at all, only sunglasses ))
Was you able to drive?
@@zen_meditation217 Only in glasses before the surgery.
I've been waiting so much for your new vlog! It brings me so much joy 💘😍
Lucy, very happy for you. Thank God all went so well. Life is beautiful.
Thank you Lucy. This video is not only interesting but also useful. I learned so many words and expressions and I deeply appreciated the scientific subject you brought up. Honestly, you should do more videos like this! Hugs from Italy

Another nice vlog loved it.
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.
Finallyyy im also earlyyy and lots of loveeed tooo uuuuu dear Lucyyyy💜💜💜💜
You don't need any makeup, you are beautiful in every aspect, may your eyes see every pixel of beautiful butterflies, flowers, the autumn colors, beautiful green landscape under the shiny sun every day ! I wanna thank the doc. God bless.🙂
Great video!!! 😲✌️
Sending love from Costa Rica 🇨🇷 Pura Vida to you and Will!!! I Love watching your videos!!! Thank you dear and beautiful Lucy!!! ❤️🙏🙂
Happy New year! I wish you a happy and healthy year, to you and your close ones! Hope to see you soon in your vlogs! 🙂 I really miss them! ☺️
Omg the voice of the doctor 💘
Lucy congratulations for 5 million subscribers in your first channel English with Lucy .
Loads of love.☺️☺️
Dear Lucy, I have just discovered your videos and they are fantastic! When I watch I feel this bright atmosphere. Love your couple, pets and surroundings. Please, please upload more videos. I doesn't matter what. Even watching your dog is so interesting ;)) Thank you for all! :) Greetings from Lithuania ;)
Wish you well. Keep up the good work.
you are so brave😚we're v.happy you are back😁
You should record audible books! It’s so hard to find readers with your young British accent.
Yea I agree with you
Could you explain what are you trying to say, please?
Hi Lucy Bella Earl. I am a guy from India. I have been seeing your channel since January 16. After seeing your channel my English ameliorated by leaps and bounds. Thanks a lot Lucy Bella Earl. 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. Only when there is issue with it only we will realise how important it is. You have made everyone aware about this. It is really good.
Eres lo máximo Lucy, gracias por compartir
Lots of love to you Lucy 🤩🤩 I'll be very happy whenever I get your video recommended in my RUclips page 😅🥰🤩
I'm glad you're alright 😍

Thanks for sharing. it was nice to hear it went so well.
Very good recommendation! Thanks for advice!
i just wanted to wish you and Will and belated Happy Christmas and express how much i hope you have a marvelously blessed 2021!
I was so touched when you said " I wanted to be able to actually see Will" ❤️ That's once in a lifetime moment that you want to cherish.. I am so glad that your surgery and recovery went great.
thank you for doing this video to all that need this so they know where to go. tks
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.
Take care of yourself Lucy 😊
Really great 💓 your eyes can see very well 🥰 Take care too
Best wishes for you. Get well soon.
I had lasik little over a year ago and it's been the absolute best thing I could have ever done for myself. Highly recommend to anyone finding themselves frustrated towards their glasses daily. It is life changing!
So glad you have also had a fab experience! Life is so much more beautiful now 🥰♥️
I agree, Best decision ever! I had laser eye surgery 10 years ago and it had completely changed my life for better :)
Hope you are okay !! Take care and stay safe❤😊
Oh my god!!!! Surgery? Okay but I'm very happy to see all your videos
You are my favourite English teacher! I trust on your way of teaching infact I practice English everyday
As according to your suggestions till now and seriously!!!! It is very productive for me. Now, feel so happy❤️
You're very brave! I'm also thinking about the operation but it's scaring. And you were absolutely right speaking about miths around the eyes operations!
She got lucky. Getting this procedure is like playing Russian roulette with your eyes/sanity.
Thank you I love the background ❤️
Had laser eye treatment 10 years ago. Best thing I ever did.
I'm very happy to see you again.😍😍😍.. Love from Pakistan. I really like you. Youvy changed me in different ways.. And this is positive change. And credit goes to you🥰❤️

Yay a new vid! I missed you 😅😂
I really appreciate Lucy, I have been struggling with my sight since I was 7😭
Such a useful video
Thanks
These days I become late at Lucy's school but she's my fav teacher
I did have the same laser eye surgery almost 2 years ago. I had really poor sight, it was - 5. I went through the same procedure and now I can see clearly 😊😊😊 firstly, it was a shock for me to see how dirty the streets were ahahahah I remember I couldn't do any sports for about 1 month. I couldnt wear my make up for a month either. But it's totally worth it.
I recall my surgery for cataracts. I could actually see the leaves. Each leaf on the tree
Hi Lucy , I did the same surgery ( I also had longsightedness), and I agree with you , it one the best thing that I have made in my life :) that changed my life !
Hi, how much it costs this surgery?
I hope you a succesfull surgery and recovery.... I follow you from Chile and love your videos specially the Q&A with Will.
I wrote this comment before the end of the video.... 😄 then I unsderstood that the surgery was express and you are OK.
Please to see you Lucy again!
The kind of surgery that really scares me but still I've managed to watch the video from start to end without looking away) Made me think about the laser.
So glad for you!
You’re braver than I am having eye surgery! My eyesight is so bad (also astigmatism) I don’t dare have laser eye surgery as I hear so many horror stories!
There are horror stories from people taking ibuprofen and it burning a hole in their stomach with the same incident rates as bad LASIK.
That’s not true! The risks of lasik are way higher than the risk of ibuprofen! They’re not even comparable! 1. The LASIK flap never heals. Weak scar tissue around the flap edge holds it in place -- like a Tupperware lid. But the flap itself is not attached and can be accidentally dislodged for life. Moreover, the LASIK flap creates a permanent portal in the cornea, which exposes patients to increased risk of late onset corneal inflammation or infection.
2. The cornea is permanently thinner and weaker after LASIK. Corneal biomechanical failure (ectasia) may occur shortly after LASIK or many years -- even decades -- later. Young women of child-bearing age are at increased risk during pregnancy after LASIK.
3. Researchers have found that LASIK patients may need cataract surgery up to 15 years sooner than people who avoid LASIK. To add insult to injury, the LASIK-altered cornea causes problems with cataract surgery.
4. Osman et al. (2017) found that LASIK using the latest blade-free technology leads to posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) (floaters) in 85% of eyes that did not have pre-existing PVD.
5. LASIK leads to falsely low intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement, exposing patients to permanent vision loss from undiagnosed glaucoma.
6. Corneal nerves responsible for tear production are severed and destroyed during LASIK. No study at any time point has found that corneal nerves fully recover to normal densities and patterns after LASIK. Damaged nerves may lead to chronic dry eyes.
7. Injury to corneal nerves during LASIK may lead to incapacitating neuropathic eye pain.
8. Since LASIK does not eliminate the need for reading glasses after the age of 40 and studies show that visual outcomes of LASIK decline over time, virtually all LASIK patients will end up back in glasses - sometimes sooner rather than later.
9. The FDA's latest LASIK study found that up to 46% of subjects who reported seeing no visual distortions (halos, starbursts, glare, and ghosting) before LASIK reported visual distortions after LASIK, and up to 28% of subjects with no symptoms of dry eyes before LASIK developed dry eye symptoms after LASIK.
10. LASIK complications have led to corneal transplants, blindness, loss of eye, disability, unremitting eye pain, suicidal thoughts, and a number of actual suicides.
THANKS A LOT FOR SHARING 💕
Thank you for this video. I'm glad your surgery went well.
You seem to be very organized when it comes to your work. Can you make video on how you keep yourself so organised please?
thx for sharing, I was looking for that kind of video
The halos and starbursts are my main reason for wanting surgery. Thank you for the honesty. This may just be what I deal with in my life.
Lucy I miss you!!! I miss videos from the farm. Big kisses from Brazil
