...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!
