Eyeball update

Well, I had my second follow-up appointment after my lasik treatment (I didn't post about the procedure, I should do that when I have time). Damn eyes are slightly less sharp than immediately after the treatment, down from about 20/20 in both eyes to 20/25 in one and 20/30 in the other. The eye doc says that this happens sometimes. It will either get better as it heals and they won't need to do anything, or it will stay the same or get worse, which means they want to go in and re-correct.

I do not want to do that again, but I don't want to have spent all that money and not have good vision, either.

Yuck. My next appointment is in ten weeks, to catch the end of the theoretical healing period. Here's hoping.

So the choices are:

1) Get better

2) Stay the same

3) Get worse

Well ... isn't that nicely vague and all-bases-covered?

If you have to have it corrected, do you have to pay for it? If so, how would that compare to the cost of the original surgery?

They just don't know what's going to happen until it does, which is really extremely annoying. I don't have to pay for any corrections, ever, since I bought the lifetime guarantee. That's not a problem.

Sigh. I was really looking forward to *not* dealing with this anymore ...

Good lord! You're so brave. I hate my glasses but would never let anyone near my eyes. *shivers theatrically*

I'm quite the flutterbudget about my eyes, too. I hate having someone else put eye makeup on me, and I had to do that a lot in my theatrical makeup class. So annoying. *grumbles*

I mean...a LASER. I'm about eye doctors they way a lot of people are about dentists -- seriously freaked. Get that blue light away from my eye!

I understand, totally. However, the actual laser bit isn't really that bad. It's the ..

Oh wait. You might not want to hear about that.

Let me know if you want gory details. Otherwise, you're right. The only thing that got me through it was the valium. If I have to go back, I'm demanding a double (or triple) dose!
