I Can See Clearly Now...

...And it is AMAZING.  It has been two weeks now since I had my eyes fixed and I love it.  I can see without the fuss of glasses or contacts.  I use to think that the best part would be to wake up and just be able to see ( which is great, but my eyes are still kind of dry in the mornings so the first thing I do is eye drops) but what excites me is getting ready to go to bed and being able to see.  It's a totally new and different feeling for me and I have to keep reminding myself not to put my fingers in my eyes to try to take out my contacts.  My eyes are still adjusting so if anything, it is only going to get better.  I'm happy.  It was totally worth it.

New Eyes

Over the Christmas holidays, as I was getting ready one morning, I tore one of my contact lenses (and no, I don't have disposables where I can just pop in another).  I was so upset cause that meant I had to wear my glasses until I could figure out what to do.  It was either make an appointment with my eye doctor (which I have none), get my eyes checked, get new contacts, and glasses (cause these ones suck),  or......... get laser eye surgery.  I have been wanting to do that for years so I figured now was as good a time as any.  And there was no better way to prepare or excite me for the surgery than to make me wear my glasses for 3 weeks.  I can't stand them, I hate them and want to get rid of them.  They fog up in this darn cold, they fall off my face, I can't see anything when I swim and they are not a strong enough prescription (cause I hardly ever use to wear them) so I get headaches as I strain my eyes.  So I head in tomorrow to get my new eyes, or I guess just fix my old ones, but it will feel like new eyes and I am soooo excited!!
