28 March - Eye'm slightly scared....

There's a reason I'm posting a (not very good) shot of my eye...
Today I had a consultation at a laser eye clinic (my pupils are
huge from the drops they put in, can't see properly!) and... tomorrow I am having both
my eyes lasered! Yikes!! I've been wearing glasses & contacts since
I was 7 years old & am thoroughly, thoroughly fed up with them. I've
been pondering about having my eyes "done" for years, and now that the operation
is so much more precise and safe, I thought I'd bite the bullet and do it!

So I may not be around much over the next week - my eyes have to "rest" as much
as possible, that means no computer screens, no TV screens, no make up for
two weeks (oh no!). But after my eyes have recovered I'll be back here with
a vengeance!

Thanks for all your comments on my PAD's recently, they are HUGELY appreciated
and I will catch up with everyone very soon... SEE YOU IN A WHILE... (without wearing
my glasses - heaven!!) ;o)

Beautiful colour!

Good luck Nicky, I started to need glasses a couple of years ago and hate having to wear them, would love to have my good eyesight back. Maybe you will encourage more of us to get laser surgery!
Sheila29-Mar-2007 01:26
Oh, I'd have this done too if I could! Good luck, rest your eyes properly.
Cindi Smith29-Mar-2007 00:36
I hear it works well! You take care and rest those baby blues! We will be looking forward to you coming back!

Hope all goes well Nicky, rest up and let yourself fully recover.

Good luck Nicky & do as your advised & all will be well !! I too have a hatred of specs !!
Dave Wixx28-Mar-2007 21:43
You'll be fine. I was -6 diopters in both eyes and had both eyes done in 2000 and I've been 20/20 since. I had PRK, but I suspect you're having Lasik, which is a much quicker recovery.
Best money I've spent.

GOOD LUCK.
Neil Horner28-Mar-2007 21:22

Buz Kiefer28-Mar-2007 21:03

OMG you're braver than me!
Good luck!
Johnny JAG28-Mar-2007 19:10
Good luck indeed, I've just got some new specs and I can't do a thing with them, but I'm too much of a coward to have surgery!
Guest 28-Mar-2007 18:55
Good luck Nicky, it will be well worth it!
Zak28-Mar-2007 18:38

Jola Dziubinska28-Mar-2007 18:29
Good luck Nicky! I can imagine how you're gonna feel happy with brand new sight after that laser surgery.

I'm assuming you'll still be allowed wine and ice-cream though?
Take Care and dream of lots of lovely pictures to take!
Ian York28-Mar-2007 18:16
hope the eye's and see you in Cardiff..

.....I went to a surgeon for an op on both elbows he said
I would have to rest them for two weeks afterwards -
That's two weeks without being able to raise a glass to my lips.....
I went without and stuck with the tenis elbow ;) ....
Sharon Rogers28-Mar-2007 18:13
Lots of luck, it's something I have thought about doing often
Lee Rudd28-Mar-2007 17:47
this isnt going to hurt one bit!!!! hope everything works out for you, and look forward to 'seeing' you soon
JW28-Mar-2007 17:45
Wow! That sounds exciting and scary at the same time. But what a relief not to wear glasses. All the best!
Roger LeBlanc Photography28-Mar-2007 17:26
as they say...your eyes are the window to your soul. Speedy recovery!!
Guest 28-Mar-2007 17:25
