In case you were wondering, my current vision is 20/800.
So basically, I’m blind as a bat.
However, sarting today, that all changes.
I’m finally cashing in on my college graduation present: laser eye surgery!
So I can kick these guys to the curb and no longer have to say that I have 20/800 vision. I’ve had to wear these all week since you’re not allowed contacts for a week leading up to surgery. It’s been rough, especially during physical activity. Court, I don’t know how ya do it.
I’m also a glasses drama queen.
I’m just pretty goshdarn psyched to be able to see right when I wake up… and to not have dry, sticky contacts when I’m tired.
The downside? I can’t sweat for about a week.
The upside? Maybe that means I’ll be productive. But probably not.
HAPPY FRIDAY, ALL. See you later.

I was definitely a little anxious! But thankfully, all went well.
I’ll post a recap soon!
Okay, you HAVE to fill me in on everything in the procedure and recovery because I am most likely going to have to do this this year and asap. My eyes are revolting against contact lenses lately in a BAD way. And I cannot keep running/working out in glasses. I’m with you! HOw do people do it?

I do not know! But I will surely fill you in soon, my dear. xoxo
Good luck with the surgery!! Can’t wait to hear about it, I’ve always wondere if it is as awful as it sounds.

It was the best thing that ever happened to me!!! Not having to take extra contacts and solution on travel, and waking up and seeing!! amazing. But what? The day after I went to a weights class and then the day after that went for my long run. They said nothing about a week?? But the sport goggles you wear at night? hot, my boyfriend loved those. Just be prepared to go through a lot of refreshing drops to keep those suckers hydrated
Good luck with your surgery! Everyone tells me I should get Lasik too, but I’m way too scared (I’m a total wimp when it comes to stuff like that). My vision is SOO bad. I don’t know what the numbers are, but I can’t see clearly more than a few inches in front of my face without my glasses.

Yep, mine was the same way! Don’t be scared… so far, I’d say it was sooo worth it. I’ll post more details soon.
I had lasik last year and it changed my life!!! I still think I have to take my contacts out at night sometimes! SO WORTH IT!

Good luck with your surgery! Excited to hear what you think… I don’t have *anything* set aside in savings, but I’m pretty blind too so one day when I marry a millionaire I def want to get it done! lol

good. plan.
recap coming soon.
I hope your surgery goes well! I’m way too scared to ever get it done, but thankfully I really only need glasses for driving. I don’t wear anything otherwise.

Oh I’ve always wanted to try that. Let me know how it goes! It kind of freaks me out that you’re awake when it happens.
I’ll post a full recap/recovery synopsis soon.
Woohoooo!!! I also hate wearing glasses. It’s probably the worst thing ever. And I’m also ridiculously dramatic.

oh, I’m so glad I’m not the only one.
Congrats! You will be so glad you did the surgery! My hubby did it a few years back and he says it was the best thing he’s ever done. I think he should have said marrying ME, but ya know, eyes are important too

oh wow! I’ve never heard of your vision just being too poor for it. she should get a second opinion unless she had a condition in her eyes!
good luck with the surgery!!! i’ve been wanting that for a while, can’t wait to hear how it goes!!!

I’ll do a recovery post for you guys so you know how it all turned out.
Ahhh congrats! As a fellow specs-wearer, I’m genuinely excited for ya. I’m honestly not sure what my vision is, but I don’t think it’s quite as bad as yours. Vision is gonna be your supaaa power soon!

Yikes! 20/800? What kind of contact prescription is that? My eyes are terrible too, ut my docs never gave me a 20/# scale. I can’t wait until I can get Lasik on my eyes!
Britt recently posted..Revamping for the New Year!
it’s a little less that -5 as far as contact prescriptions go. bah!
Eek! No fun! Hope all went well with your surgery! Enjoy your new sight

Hope all went well! I miss the days of waking up and being able to see without grabbing glasses or putting contacts in. Don’t think I’ll be getting laser eye surgery though.

Congrats! Would love for you to post about your experience. I’m definitely interested in LASIK, I just need the money

I’ll definitely be curious to hear how it went! My husband wanted to get that done a couple of years ago, but they said he couldn’t at the time, because he had bumpy eyeballs or something crazy like that haha! But I know he still wants to get it done. Personally, I’m cool with my contacts and glasses. But I might change my mind in the future!

I know the feeling, I’m not sure what my vision is on a 20/### scale, but my contacts are -7.5. So basically driving without contacts or glasses would be a disaster!
but I cannot wait to get LASIK!! Can’t wait to hear more about it!
Ahhh, your eyes are worse than mine were, you poor thing!
You should get some non prescription glasses then cause you look so pretty in your glasses pic!!
