I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW, THE HAZE IS GONE!
Wooohooo! I can see clearly now. The haze is gone! For 10 years I’ve been unable to focus, literally.
Well, at least not on anything that wasn’t right in front of me. Woke up every morning and the alarm clock on my bedside was hazy. I fumbled around for my glasses, which I had dropped somewhere the night before. Often they had fallen over the edge of the bed or were lying beneath a hip, mine or the person’s I was lying next to (when I woke up next to someone). Kinda felt like the equivalent of asking for your dentures or your hair piece. ” Would you scoot over please, you’ve got my eyes beneath your thigh?”
I’d popped the lenses back in numerous times and now they jutted out rudely from the frames, reminding me of the cruel treatment I had subjected them to. Then finally they were so warped that the lens would not stay and tape, glue tac, even super glue offered no solution. So I had to fumble around for the first two hours every morning, until I could wear my contacts – which I tried not to wear for more than fourteen hours straight but often did. Because in the evening I’d be so exhausted I’d fall into bed with my contact lenses on – for a “nap,” which I consistently woke up from at 3am.
So finally I had Lasik done. For a case like mine it truly wasn’t just cosmetic. Heck, it was dire a medical necessity. Couldn’t phanthom going on the way I was and keeping my eyesite for much longer. In fact I noticed as I was getting rid of my contact lens solution it had expired 2 months prior. I was definitely a bad case of blindness in the making.
Then Lasik. Not just any Lasik …Limberg Lasik! Ten months of anticipation, 10 weeks of preparation, 10 minutes on the operating table and it’s over. Just like that! And I see. Clearly now. Five days later my vision is crisper than it’s ever been in my life. They tell me from here it just gets better and better.
Woohooo! I’m living life and lovin’ it!
