Santa: All I want for Christmas is...

...to say "goodbye" to my glasses...please!!!

I am finally doing it!  I am getting iLasik!!!!  I am super excited...and nervous at the same time. I have wanted to do it for years. I hate spending so much money on contacts, solution, etc.  Especially since my contacts have been giving me trouble these past few years. Last year, I had an infection from my contacts where I had to go without them for a while (of course during a trip) and wear my glasses, which I hate!  I love the look of glasses but do not like wearing them.  They give me headaches and they are just a nuisance.  Before my Germany trip this year, I went to see if I was a candidate since my eyes were again giving me trouble.  The doctor took one look at my eyes and told me that I could no longer wear contacts. EVER again.  So, iLasik here I come!

I am doing my eyes on different days since I have to get two different procedures done.  My right eyes is perfect for iLasik and will be a quick procedure (and a day recovery).  My left eye, the bother, is proving to be a little more difficult.  I have a scar on my eye (from a severe case of conjunctivitis years ago).  The scar prevents me from being a candidate for iLasik but I get an older procedure done.  That works just as good but it is more painful and more recovery time. 5 days compared to 1! With my first eye they create the flap.  Do their thing.  Replace the flap.  The eye heals fairly quickly.  The second eye, they do not do a flap, they just take it OFF!!  Do their thing. Then put a contact like thing over it to protect my poor eye.  Then my amazing eye will create a new top layer.  5 days later (give or take) I am good to go!  No glasses! 

In between the surgeries I am going to look so cool with my glasses on with one lens popped out.  Oh, yeah!
