What do I see

On Friday, I got new eyes! My vision has never been that bad, I had 20/30 for my left eye and 20/60 for my right, I could still barely pass the driver test without glasses, but I didn't try. I wore my horrible, terrible glasses and I hated them. I tried contacts, but I couldn't stand them. Plus, since I have astigmatism and the contacts weren't correcting that, it pretty much sucked for me. Soooo, glasses it was. Then I broke my sunglasses when I was prego with Tomtom, so I just bought those glasses you attach to your regular glasses, like my grandpa had. Then Tomtom broke my regular glasses, so I pulled out my 10 year old glasses... and still attached my dorky half sunglasses to it, which had a square shape while my old glasses were oval. Needless to say I made sur NO ONE ever saw me like that! It was time to make a decision. I went to LasikPlus and got their free examination. I went home and did all my research. I called around, read and read and read. I had more questions and the surgeon called to talk to me. That helped a lot, and I trusted him. So this Friday, I went in. I had the Wave-front Intralase Lasik (or Custom Vue). It was a little bit painful, but so fast. I was in the surgery room for 10 minutes top. The right eye took 6 seconds under the laser and 4 seconds for the left. It just take time to put your under the laser and adjust things. The give you drops to put your eye asleep.

My eye and Dr. Perry.

Under the Intralase machine. That's the one that makes the flap, the bladeless cut, with a "little" pressure! Helllllo, a little???? Maybe to some people, but to me, it was a LOT of pressure. But about 20 seconds per eye, so I could take it.

The more they tell you not to move your eye, the more your brain is wanting to move that eye!

Check out my flap! See it hanging there....freeeeeeakkkky!

So now, I have to sleep with goggles for 7 days, put drops in my eyes 4 times/day for 7 days. I still feel like my eyes are verry irritated. I went in on Saturday morning and had 20/20. It should get even better. I still have a bit of a halo around anything bright and it's a little fuzzy. Some time, one eye sees better than the other. But when I put my glasses on, I see like I used to without glasses, and let me tell ya, life if much better!

PS: did you know that there are leaves on the trees?
