You see, I started wearing glasses in the 7th grade. And, despite the copious amounts of carrots that I consumed, my eyes continued to get worse each year.
So, after seriously considering (translation: whining) about wanting Lasik for over a year, my sweet hubs finally encouraged me to just but the bullet and make an appointment for a consultation. I went in for a consult a couple weeks ago and was found to be a good candidate.
To say that I am excited would be an understatement of the century! I cannot wait! I’ve always been not-so-slightly jealous of my family and friends who had perfect vision and have wished that one day I could see my feet without the aid of glasses or lenses.
Sure, the thought of putting my eye balls under a laser sounds less than appealing, not to mention expensive, but the idea of just waking up and being able to see clearly without having to fumble for my glasses or contacts is just so exciting!
I hope everything goes well. I have wanted this for years and I am thrilled that it’s finally happening!
I am stoked about being able to SEE! Plus my amazing Mama is coming to take good care of me during the itchy-scratchy recovery stage, so I know I’ll be in good hands : )
Happy Wednesday, lovelies!
That's so exciting! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteOne of my best friends just recently got it and I'm so jealous that she can see so good now! You'll love it!!
ReplyDeleteWow! I can't wait to hear how it goes. I've always wanted to do that, but have been too scared! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I hope that one day I will be able to get Lasik too!
ReplyDeleteMy mom did Lasik over 10 years ago (my gosh, cannot believe its been that long!) and she is happy every day that she did it. I want to get it done one day too!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I totally ate TONS of carrots too and they did nothing to help. So sad ;-)
You'll love it! I had mine done in 1999 and it was the best thing I ever did. 11 years later and no regrets!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness...I am so jealous! You will have to let me know how it all goes once you get it done. I am dying to have it!
ReplyDeleteYAY! I had Lasik 2 years ago and it was the best thing I ever did! You'll love it!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I can't wait to hear how it goes!
ReplyDeleteYay! My best friend got LASIK and she couldn't be happier. No more fumbling with glasses or having her contacts irritate her eyeballs.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!!
How exciting! I can't wait to hear all about it. I would L.O.V.E. to get it done!!
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous!! I've been wanting to get Lasik forever!
ReplyDeleteITS AMAZING, I did it last year (well I did PRK but its basically the same thing) super scary but once you get going and its done, you wont regret it. Its the best.
ReplyDeleteGOOD LUCK! My brother in law did it and he really liked it! I hear from so many people that they think it's the best thing that they ever did!
ReplyDeleteSOO exciting! Best of luck to you!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI want to do that so bad!!I can't wait to hear all about it!! Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteGood Luck! My hubs keeps encouraging me to get it done but I'm SCARED, even though all I've heard from personal friends and family is how awesome it really is!
ReplyDeleteYay, that's exciting. I really want to get it done!!
ReplyDeleteI got lasik surgery back in 2007 and it is TOTALLY worth it. I have worn glasses/contacts all my life but finally I too wanted to take the plunge. The day of, I wasn't very scared just more nervous. My dad came with me because I couldn't drive. They first gave me some meds to calm me down and when that kicked in, they took me back. My dad got to watch it all happen on the TV in the waiting area. I thought that I couldn't keep my eyes open long enough for them to slice my eye and shoot the laser but I was fine. Just a little pressure, but no pain whatsoever. Afterwards, the doctor checked again to see if my eye was properly sealed back in place (sorry if that sounds sick) and then he gave me jist on what to do in the coming days. I healed great and let me tell you that the next day when I woke up and I didn't need to fumble for my glasses...that was one of the greatest feelings. Totally worth it. Good luck!!!
ReplyDeleteJEALOUS! I want lasik!
ReplyDeleteAhh, I am so jealous! I've wanted this ever since I heard about it. So excited for you! Did you ever see that SATC episode where Miranda gets the procedure done? Too funny.
ReplyDeleteSo jealous...I want so bad to get it done!!
ReplyDeleteah so happy for you! you will do great and be SO happy when you can SEE! congrats!
ReplyDeleteSuper exciting! I would love to get Lasik... its on my "baby bucket list" so I can see for those middle-of-the-night wake up calls. :)
ReplyDeleteI've worn glasses/contacts for what seems like forever and I've always wanted Lasik!!
ReplyDeleteI'm curious though, are you getting them done at a LASIK place or through a regular optometrist?
I got LASIK back in 2007 and it was awesome. After a few hours I could see fine, no more scratchy eyes. The next day I was back at work!
ReplyDeleteI'm super jealous of a previous commenter... I didn't get calming drugs! I was such a big baby that I cried and a nurse gave me a stuffed animal and held my hand hahaha. Sad, I know! But it didn't hurt at all, I healed quick, and now I have great vision :)
