Considering LASIK

My brother Dave called to tell me that he’s had Lasik surgery done on his eyes. He says it was quick and easy and the best thing he’s ever done for himself.

I wish I felt comfortable abut doing it - I’ve worn glasses or contacts ever since I was a kid in grade school and couldn’t see the blackboard even from the front row. It seems like every time I go to the eye for a check up I end up needing a stronger prescription and a new pair of glasses.

I remember my dad telling me that when you get older your eyesight reverses. He was referring to the way your eyes get worse for close up work and eventually needing bifocals. I have to admit I fought the idea of bifocals for a very long time, but eventually the headaches from not being able to read the newspaper or see the computer screen won out over vanity. So I have the bifocals where they blend the lines and you can’t see the different sections of glass.

Dave tells me that his LASIK surgery was done by the Eye Centers of Florida and sent me this link so I could read up on the LASIK infrormation on their site. He’s suggested that I come visit him this summer and he’ll take me there so I can get my eyes done.
