Her: “holy shit, who is that guy!”
My wife’s Lasik was the worst thing that could have happened to me as she could now clearly see the snarky faces I would sometimes make. Be careful! 🙂
I am afraid to get lasik, I don’t like thing near my eyes and am scared of getting a botched eye and making my sight even worse.
I was told to wait until my vision stabilized to get lasik. Now they’re telling me I’m too old for it.
My husband got this done a few years back, and he is so happy with his laser eyes.
Luckily, it looks like she likes what she sees
Lasik is quite the trip. One minute you can’t see shit without glasses. Then a ten minute procedure, and you’re reading the fine print on bottles of saline in the recovery room. It’s a weird experience. Never regretted doing it for a second.
“Oh…uh…hey.”
Does this work for vision that’s gone down with age? Like if I only need reader glasses?
My wife immediately realized I’m not such a looker. We manage by just roll play as Esmerelda and the Humpback now.
I had LASEK done about 15 years ago. Best decision of my life.
Being LASEK and not LASIK I didn’t get the instant perfect vision. The procedure takes longer to heal (2 days in a dark room!), but has a reduced risk of chronic dry eye because none of the nerve endings in your cornea are severed.
The procedure may have changed in those 15 years. So maybe that risk is now gone, I don’t know. But at the time it was present. And while low, my luck isn’t that good.
Files for divorcé tomorrow….. jk
The last thing I want is for my wife to see my face clearly.
^* without glasses. I hope she’s seen your face clearly before.
Kind of want to do it, but I’m so afraid of fucking around with my eyes. Quite fond of them, even if they can’t see so good.
She gon be like “oh, your face…”
And you say ” why what’s wrong”
She goes
Ok, I had the procedure about 12 years ago, and I’m getting the impression that it’s very different today. I couldn’t open my eyes for two days afterwards and it took close to two weeks for my eyes to adjust. It was perfect after that, but hearing that people are seeing clearly before they leave to office, how TF does that work??
I want to have Lasik done, but after reading some people’s poor experience with them, I have been put off doing it.
I’ve tend to have fairly sensitive eyes my whole life, and I’m guessing if someone is going to have an issue afterwards, it would probably be me.
Can someone here talk me into it? Thanks.
LASIK scares the everliving shit out of me. I want so badly to get it, but I have a mega phobia of anything going into my eyes (including drops) and I’m terrified of going blind.
But sometimes, I just sit back and dream about not needing glasses anymore…
Lord save me when I eventually need cataract surgery
Lasik is like goddamn magic. Go in with terrible eyesight, they shoot a laser into your eyeball for a few minutes, and as soon as the anaesthetic eyedrops wear off you suddenly have like 20-18 vision. It is nuts and I highly recommend it.
Are you sure? It looks like she is smiling
Congratulations to your wife! Her lovely smile says it all!
I’m almost completely immune to “painkillers”. I shared this with the nurses administering the eye drops and was told that I “wouldn’t feel a thing”.
The laser that cut my corneas was excruciating, searing hot fire. As the first cornea was cut, they asked “how are you feeling?”. I didn’t want to cause alarm/panic and have mistakes be made, so I said that I was fine and did all I could to not blink.
10/10 would still do it again.
While we’re here, if anyone is considering this, request that the cornea is cut and immediately replaced before moving on to the next eye. During my surgery, both corneas were removed, then the second to be cut was replaced first. In the eye that had the cornea removed for the greatest amount of time, I felt “dryness” in for about 5-6 years following the surgery.
Reading about Lasik on reddit drove me to find out more and eventually get it done. Going on 4 years ago now. My omg moment was swimming at the beach, looking underwater and being able to see the fish clearly.
Best money I’ve ever spent.
Got LASIK few years ago, one of the absolute best decisions I’ve ever made.
I got Lasik (before -6.5 now perfect vision) and spent the next 4 months stopping my partner on walks to tell him to “look at the trees” because it took me so long to adjust to seeing individual leaves instead of green blotches. He indulged me everytime, it was sweet.
I had Lasik last week. I am in constant awe.
I wish your wife a speedy recovery!
At least she’s smiling, so you’ve got that going for you
I got lasik like 12 to 15 yrs ago. Best decision ever. I went from not being able to see 8 inches in front of me to having perfect vision. I thought lasik was tbe coolest shit ever. The surgery is scary but it took literally 5 minutes.
I wept for hours after my surgery because of being able to see clearly. Like glasses/contacts did a pretty good job but after surgery, I saw my wife and kids’ faces for the first time and I couldn’t hold the joy in. They’re so fucking beautiful and there were details that I was able to notice that I hadn’t before. I’m getting teary eyed just thinking of that day. Thanks for the post and the reminder.
