Have corrective eye surgery
On Being "4-Eyes" 4 years ago

I’ve worn glasses since the 3rd grade, at first just for reading, and then more and more until I needed them for everything. When I was 20, I FINALLY got contacts, and that was great. But, by age 40, I couldn’t read without reading glasses over the contacts (I can’t afford the type of contacts that would allow me to go without the reading glasses). So, I’m back being stuck with glasses on my face, which I HATE.

Anyone remember the commercials for the contacts you could wear at night, so you could “see above the bedcovers” (or something like that) first thing in the morning??? I WANT TO DO THAT AGAIN!

My opthalmologist wasn’t too keen on most surgeons/center that do this surgery, and says you can get some REALLY horrendous and awful results, so that’s scared me off. In addition, I don’t have insurance that would cover it, and I couldn’t possibly afford this on my own.
