I apologize to any coworkers I scared the crap out of today

You may recall that last May I had my eyes lasered into occular perfection. It was a great experience, and the left side of my life has been radically changed for the better.

The right side, however, has been driving me batty. The vision in my left eye is so amazing and cyborgy that anything less than perfect is very noticable. And irritating. And must be fixed.

So off I went this morning to the eye doctor to have him puzzle out what can be done to fix the situation. Turns out that I still have some astigmatism left, so on Wednesday afternoon I’ll have my right eye done again. I’m glad to hear that they can probably make it better, but I’m not really looking forward to doing the whole thing again. But whatever, there are a million worse problems to have.

So then I went to work. Looking like this:

That is kinda creepy.

I went today for my pre-op appt. only to find they won’t do lasik on nursing women. Sure would have been nice to know that at the previous appt. I had last week.

I am getting mine done though, next year, same time.

I am so jealous

You need one of those white contact lenses to complete the look.

Sorry to say that looks a bit weird… cool, but weird. Must have been fun trying to grab that picture. And too bad it is a week late for Halloween. Ha!

Hope it all gets resolved. The eye surgery was the best thing I ever did! Good luck!

It scares me a little that I studied the picture intently and could not figure out what the issue was until I read the caption.
