A year came and went since I decided to get LASIK 👀

I did the consultation last July but put off the surgery until September as I didn’t want to spend my summer recovering after the surgery. Seems hard to believe it’s been September without dealing with contacts – I came across some when I was cleaning out my old rig and they got burnt up in the fire the other day. Pulled the aluminum seals out of the ash.

It’s wonderful seeing without the sometimes severe irration and dry eyes associated with contact lens. I wake up and go to bed now without having to touch my eyes. No more fishing pieces of plastic out of my eyes, much less searching for a contact lens that got rolled up under an eye lid. I just wake up and see, go to bed without touching my eyes or looking for my always seemingly scratched up glasses.

No more dependency on having to order disposable contact lens or having to buy more when supplies ran short. No more mandatory visits to the eye doctor – I should go every two years for a quick check up – but it’s not required I buy glasses or contacts from their shop. It always felt like wearing glasses and contacts was a lease on vision but now it’s permanently fixed, and no more fishing those contact lens aluminum seals out of the ash.
