A year of perfect vision

A year ago today I had laser eye surgery that gave me better than 20/20 vision. I opted for the LASIK-wavefront treatment and at the time I was really worried that I’d done the wrong thing, as the first few days were rather unpleasant-painful, sore eyes and less than perfect vision (although my vision was good enough not to have to wear glasses, even then!). Over the following weeks, I wore my plasic eye guards to sleep in and followed all the instructions and within hardly any time at all I had forgotten that I ever wore glasses.

A year on I can categorically say that it is one of the best things I’ve ever done. My vision is perfect and I don’t have to contend with uncomfortable glasses and swapping them for sunglasses at inconvenient times. I love being able to see at the hairdressers, when I’m putting my makeup on and when I go swimming. I love not having to keep pushing my glasses back up my nose every couple of minutes and I love my glasses not steaming up whenever I open the oven door!!

The only down-side is, now I can’t get away from the bags under my eyes and the concealer gets ever thicker, as ends of terms approach. In addition, I had looked forward to buying myself some cool designer sunglasses in the summer…it was rather disappointing therefore this year to have bought 3 different pairs of sunglasses and still be unhappy with them. I rather think I must be too picky!

I still wake up on a morning and reach for my glasses though…
