I'm that girl in the bar putting eyedrops in and possibly changing into glasses throughout the night. I have horrible eyesight and lots of vision problems in general. And I really reallly really want to have laser eye surgery!
I eventually just go to sleep early because it's so frustrating. I just give in and let my eyes win. I can't stay out late because my contacts get dry and hence the eyedrops coming out. It's even worse when people are smoking around me and it's just so frustrating. I would like to stay out and party and have fun but my eyeballs are just killing the party mood!
Maybe that's why I'm actually a morning person, because that is the time that I can see best in the morning. I've been wearing glasses since about 3rd grade and then I got contacts around age 12. I was getting braces and I didn't want to have braces and glasses because I was nerdy enough already as it was ;) It's just funny to me how much I have to think about my eyes and how people who have great vision don't have to consider their eyes at all. I'm constantly visiting eye doctors, ordering contacts, getting new lenses for my glasses, buying contact solution and eye drops, and I just wish I could be one of those people who wakes up and can see clearly in the morning!

Then, in my "Harry Potter" glasses, as Tomislav likes to call them :)
Also, please note my Granny-like glasses cord hanging down past my neck. I really don't know why I had it because I had to wear my glasses all the time so I ended up chewing on it (gross) since I didn't have long hair to chew. Even grosser? I used to put it in between my front teeth! NASTY! I was such a weird kid but I had a big gap between my teeth so I guess I was thinking, "Why not? Perfect fit!" I probably made my teeth even worse by doing that. Thanks Mom and Dad for getting me braces!

And now!
I met (or rather, re-met) someone recently who got laser eye surgery about a month ago and it couldn't have been more perfect timing for me to meet and chat with her. She was recovering from laser eye surgery and I was so excited to hear her thoughts. It's something I've been thinking about since high school, since I learned about the results of the surgery. I can't even imagine how much my life would change from laser eye surgery and I really hope I'll be able to do it one day soon. She was about ten days after the surgery and already very pleased with her results. It was great to hear her honest perspective about how weird it was to stay awake and keep your eyes open as your eyes get beamed with lasers. But for about 10 minutes on each eye for perfect vision? Love it!
Have you had laser eye surgery? Are you pleased with the results? Do you know anyone who has had laser eye surgery?
