Seeing is Believing

I am blessed with good eye sight at the moment. I attribute it to the large quantities of carrots I ate growing up with my friend who was undergoing chemotherapy and was only allowed healthy treats. I’m sure it has more to do with genetics than anything else but I like keeping the carrot myth going

Mike on the other hand has had quite the battle with his eye sight ever since he was younger. He has mentioned having LASIK done quite a few times since we first started dating. I have to admit I do not know much about LASIK and the whole thought of having surgery performed on my eyes or anyone else’s sorta freaks me out. I do want to be supportive though so I have begun to gather LASIK information so that I can be informed about the procedure and what to expect. So far I have learned some interesting things about the procedure. I did not know that LASIK is a surgical procedure that is performed 100% by laser technology which allows it to be relatively fast and painless. Less than 1% of the people who have the LASIK surgery experience any serious complications. Most complications include dry eyes which are easily fixed with eye drops. The number one thing I picked up from my reading has been that the best LASIK patients do their own research about the procedures by asking friends, family, and doctors for referrals and what to expect. Being an informed patient really pays off for LASIK patients. I feel much more comfortable and confiedent in Mike’s desire to have LASIK now that I am further informed.
