On friday I had my final post-LASIK follow-up. I checked in at 20/15 vision!! I felt the urge to celebrate, so I after work I went home and took a nap!
A few things have become clear to me (no pun intended) over the past three months as I have been living free of glasses and contacts. So I decided to verbalize them here, because what else is a blog for?
First, while it is really great to be able to see, without fumbling on the nightstand for glasses, the clock and other things in my room when I wake up in the middle of the night, waking up in the middle of the night still sucks.
Second, the problems I've always had with haircuts have lessened considerably because I can see what the stylist is doing to me as they do it, and can correct them if they're not doing what I asked. It makes all the difference in the world!!
Third, falling asleep to a movie or reading is so much easier and more comfortable when you nodding off doesn't cause glasses to be pressed into your face. I love watching a movie until I fall asleep, but I've never really been able to do it, because I would either have to watch it without my glasses and not see anything, but fall asleep easily, or I would watch it with my glasses on and smash them into my face when I fell asleep... NOT comfortable.
These are just a few of the things I've learned in the past three months. I'm sure more will follow.
