Blind as a Bat
It’s no secret that I wear glasses. You guys see a picture of me every Sunday (or almost every Sunday) and I’ve got spectacles on my face. For a few years in high school and college, I wore contacts, but I ended up having problems with the contacts irritating my eyes and would have to leave them out for about two weeks before I could wear them again. I got to the point where I just didn’t care anymore and just wore my glasses full time. Most of the time, I’m happy with that, but every once in awhile I start thinking about something like Lasik again. Like on Saturday. Saturday, Sarah and I went over to my dad’s to use his pool… I always wish I had better vision when I’m swimming because I may as well be blind without my glasses on, and lets face it– swimming with eyeglasses just isn’t practical. I haven’t seriously considered lasik for a couple of reasons… one being the cost, and the other being I’m just a worrier, and I can’t help but wonder about the long term effects. If there is a horror story to be found, don’t worry, I’ll find it.
