My frustration with my vision and wearing glasses finally exceeded my fears about the surgery. I’d been thinking about the surgery for several years while I half-assedly practiced Bates exercises, but never knew whether or not I was a good candidate. I knew it wasn’t for everybody, so I wanted to go to somebody who was reputable and conservative, and wouldn’t do it for someone who wasn’t a good candidate.
I found Dr. Parikh at Advanced Opthalmology Institute in La Jolla. He is the official team opthalmologist and Lasik specialist for the San Diego Chargers, so I figured if these multi-million-dollar-per-year professional athletes could trust this guy with their eyes, I could too. Everyone in the office was extremely nice, knowledgeable, and professional. I had a good feeling from the get-go, and to make a long story longer, I was deemed a good candidate and had the surgery last Friday!
So far, so good on the recovery. My vision in my right eye is just as clear as it was with glasses, and my left eye is still a little blurry, but will continue to heal and will be just as good. The surgery was just three days ago, so I have every confidence that further healing will yield great results. I’m thrilled!
