I can see clearly now...

About five years ago I had lasik surgery done and it was one of the best things that I've done. I was very nervous about the results because my vision before was baaaaaddd. I'm talking -10.00 and -11.00. Yowza!! They told me that there was no guarantee that my vision would be 20/20 after surgery, but I was willing to go forward with it because I knew anything would be an improvment.

The morning after surgery I was shocked that I was seeing 20/20! Could not believe it. I had never known what it was like to be able to see my alarm clock (or anything, really) without glasses or contacts. I was free!

They told me all along that there was a chance of my vision regressing, and that if it did there really wouldn't be anything they could do about it. Fast forward to a couple of years ago when I started sitting in front of a computer all. day. long. and started noticing my vision getting slightly blurry.

I went for an eye exam and sure enough, I needed glasses for working on the computer. It was a sad day. Granted my vision was about 20/30 then, but still. ;-)  I wore my glasses at work but could get away with not wearing them any other time. Well, over these past two years of working at a computer (stupid job!) I've noticed that it has regressed even more and I have needed to wear my glasses constantly. I've been dealing with annoying headaches from my eyes straining and I could not take it anymore. It was time to update the rx.

So, my new glasses came in yesterday and I can see clearly now! It makes me a little sad that I am needing them all the time, but then I remind myself of what I used to have to deal with and this really isn't so bad.

I love my new frames, even though it took me months to make a decision. (Indecisive much?) I even ordered rx sunglasses. Man, does that make me feel old!

And, I realize that this has been the longest, most boring post about my vision, so I apologize for the minutes of your life that you have wasted and will never get back ;-)

Hope you all have a blessed Easter weekend. Tomorrow is Friday, but Sunday's coming!!
