OT A new View
Hi everyone! I'm posting this before we dash off for a weekend in Santa Fe
and Taos. (It's allegedly 10-15 degrees cooler and that's a big plus!) Yesterday I had Lasik eye surgery done. I am SO amazed! I've wanted to do it for years but was chicken and overly cautious. This spring I've had a bunch of problems wearing my contacts because of the dryness out here and some allergy flares. My doc finally said "yanno, you're a perfect candidate for Lasik, think about it!" So I did, and I did! G My undying gratitude to my Mom, who gave this to me as a birthday gift. I've been VERY nearsighted for years (the big E on the eye chart is a big blur) plus a mild astigmatism. As of this morning's follow-up I'm 20/20 with no astigmatism! I have some fuzziness and haloing around bright lights but he assures me that will resolve within the next few weeks. I can certainly see clearly enough to drive! The only bummer (which I knew but still hoped would be wrong) is that I still need reading glasses. Oh well, can't win 'em all! G The procedure was fast, painless and only a little bit weird. One cool moment was when they did the initial corneal flap, the machine pushes hard enough for you to see your own personal galaxy while you're being immobilized. Between that and the Valium it was almost sort of fun. G Anyone who's dithering about it, I urge you to save your pennies and go for it! I'm sorry I didn't do it years ago. Off to the cooler climes of New Mexico for the weekend. Maybe I'll even find some beads! -- KarenK Desert Dreamer Designs http://members.cox.net/desertdreameraz/ Ebay Sto http://www.stores.ebay.com/desertdreamerdesigns JustBeads: http://www.justbeads.com/search/ql.cfm?s=DesertDreamer |

If i can ever get off my butt and sell some of my craft stuff, that's what i'm gonna
be saving for. Not to say that I'm lazy, but I've not been too productive, between going to school, homeschooling, caring for a sick animal, etc. Well, y'all know how life gets in the way. I'm determined, though, that this coming semester (since I'm taking a break to save money) I'm going to do my darndest to save for the things i really want to do, and make a bunch of stuff, and sell it. I wanna be free of having to wear glasses (don't need em for reading yet) and contacts, and be able to wake up and look into my precious dh's eyes without having too put on these horrid plastic and metal things. Way to go!

As my eyes get older, I wonder more and more about this. I'm 53, and I have
been losing my nearest vision for a couple years (less than 15" blurs now). And yet I still have ...what, 40 years left with these eyes. Would the laser correction make this problem worse? It seems logical that it would. I'm not willing to take advantage of this surgery until I know what happens to older eyes. After all, we're "older" for a very long portion of our lives.
