Lasik

I think I have pretty much decided I am going to go ahead and get lasik done.  I went in and had my eyes checked (no change in at least two years) and I am the perfect candidate.  I have an appointment set up for next week to do some more thorough testing, but if everything checks out, this is just one more thing I have decided to do for myself.  I got a lot of great information, including that not only will they fix the eyesight, but my stigmatism as well.  Doing it while young (indicating my age) was the perfect time to do it as it lasts 15-20 years.  Lasik does not prevent degeneration of the eyes that comes with old age, meaning, by doing this now, I get the most out of it as hopefully I shouldn't need any sort of lenses or anything for years. It is expensive, $4,500. However, if I don't have to buy glasses or contacts for 10 years, well then Lasik is the better option.  However, making my choice came down to this.  Glasses are a pain, especially with children and contacts are expensive and uncomfortable.  Now that I am losing weight, I prefer contacts to glasses, but if I have an option to better myself and promote the love I have for myself by getting lasik, as silly as that sounds, then I need to do it.  For so long I put me off and I figure now is the best time to do the things I want.  I am in a position to do this, while I am blessed to not have rent thanks to my parents, that come next year, I am hoping to have the Cherish 2.0 that I have been working so hard on.  So hoorah to making the changes I want and starting new with confidence!
