Having had enough of Seth breaking my 3rd pair of glasses, I finally came to a life-changing decision last month. And so, after 2 decades of shortsightedness, I said farewell to my spectacles on Friday the 13th, a day after Seth’s birthday! I finally went for my long contemplated Lasik surgery.
After all the doubts and myths about going blind post surgery, it’s no coincidence I chose a date after Seth’s birthday. Oh well, in case I go blind, I still get to see him one last time! =p
All fears were unfounded as I went through an hour of uneventful surgery. For such a life-changing activity, the surgery was over all too soon. Not that I wished it’ll take longer… Other than a little cornea flap misalignment glitch, I was free to leave the clinic sans glasses within an hour plus of surgery.
The Man was more of the gan jiong (anxious) spider though. He demanded I close my eyes ALL the time and was my eye police for the next few days. Every time I attempt to go near the computer, or read the papers, he will swoon over me like a hawk and command me to go to sleep. And all thanks to him, I produced a perfect 6/6 result slip at my eye-checkup the following day!!
It’s been ages since I can get into bed seeing the things around me. And reading the clock clearly in the middle of the night. And the most dreamed-of bonus: seeing Seth’s angelic face when I open my eyes, without fumbling for my specs first! Wooh!!! Now. I’ve just gotta resist the habit of removing my contact lenses every night!
Bye bye Glasses! Bye bye Lens! Good riddance!
