get lasik surgery

so retarded, but i’m so tempted to cancel my appt. i’m SO scared something will go wrong and i’ll lose my sight.

(losing my sight has been a fear since childhood and watching “Little House…” Mary Ingles was studious and lost her sight and I was studious so I was convinced as a kid that I’d go blind. YES, I know it’s stupid.)

So I’m about to need contacts again and I ONLY trust my doc in Orlando. I’m nervous about finding a good eye doctor here in Austin.

Soooooo, a Lasik Plus commercial comes on and it got my attention.

I called and talked to a really cool woman. I was super-nervous on the call because I am SO scared to do this. Anyway, my consult is November 14th. I’ll find out if I’m even a candidate.

Hope I am.

I’ve wanted to get this done for some time. For some reason I’ve always had an excuse not to too expensive, too scary, etc. Now I finally have the money and I’m very excited. I have an appointment for a free consultation August 20th!

sick of wearing my glasses 24/7! id love to do the surgery but it looks very expensive

This is truly one of the biggest goals of my life. I believe that vision is so important and is the best gift you can give to yourself.

I am only 16 but I am quite happy that there is a chance lasik eye surgery might advance in the next years.

I’m too afraid of the long term effects. Maybe I’ll overcome the fear after they’ve been doing the surgery for 20 years or so.

I went and talked to the Omaha Eye & Laser Institute, and did all the tests and got my quote. It will be $3200 for the full job. Not as bad as I thought it would be, since I’m going to the best place in Nebraska. And luckily I can use my HSA (and even though I’ve put all that money in there, it’s still income tax free). I’ve got $1800 in there now, and I just upped my contribution to $80 per month, so this goal will be accomplished. I just don’t know how long. If I allow myself to do the math right now, I’ll get overwhelmed and discouraged.

So- I’m just going to be glad that I’m saving up for something important to me, and stick with it, and eventually I’ll get there…

I can’t believe it’s been two months since I had Lasik surgery. The doctor said my eyes are doing good today. What a great investment.

I am sick and tired of stumbling out of bed and not be able to see what time it is. I don’t want to wear contacts because I used them and they scratched the cornea of my eye. So I am considering calling a doctor to find out how much it cost and just finally correct my eyesight.

There are many other things I rather do with the money so this is being pushed to the bottom of the list.
