The Eyes have it

For the longest time I've always said I would take some time off in the winter months to get Lasik surgery done on my eyes. I'm VERY near sighted and have been since I was really young. Without glasses or contact lenses, I can't see a darn thing!

My sister had it done with good results. I've known other people that had it done that rave about it, and others not so much. I think the technology has improved since they've started doing the procedure, so I shouldn't have anything to fear- or so my optometrist says.

Still, I've gotten so used to maintaining my contact lenses, that they don't bother me much. It would be nice not to have to fuss with them when I'm camping, or when riding a jet ski without having to put on nerdy goggles.

Then again, having a laser beam slice through my eye is not a comforting thought. I pick the winter months to do this only because I'm not as active as I am in the warmer months, and I can stay away from the office since it's slower this time of year.

I just don't know. I should really research it further, and talk to more people that have had it done. I've just gotten into the routine of dealing with my lenses that actually doing the procedure feels like I'm taking a risk I don't really need to take.

Something to think about.
