Top Ten Reasons Why Getting Lasik Will Rock

I know.

You guys are probably sick of seeing posts about my eyes. I swear, I’ll go back to talking about regular stuff (see: loud kids) soon. But since I’m having Lasik on Friday, these posts help me so I don’t go into a complete panic (see: nervous breakdown.)

I decided to post the Top Ten Reasons Why Getting Lasik Will Rock


10. I’ll be able to see when I first wake up. No more crashing into walls or stubbing my toes on the bed if Natalie wakes up in the middle of the night crying because she swore she saw a clown in the corner of her room.


9. I can wear stylish sunglasses! No more clip ons!


8. No more raindrops on my glasses in wet weather.


7. I won’t have to worry about unruly kids taking my glasses right from my face. My kids know better at this point but other people’s children aren’t always the same and think, “Oh. Something is on that woman’s face. I think I shall play with them.”


6. No more crazy fees for new glasses. My prescription is horrible so it always cost a pretty penny to get new glasses and lenses.


5. I won’t have to worry about glasses ruining a romantic moment. It’s not fun if my glasses get knocked down to the bridge of my nose or become crooked and I have to stop and fix them. Granted, I guess I could just take them off beforehand but one never exactly knows when a romantic moment will always happen.


4. I will no longer have to worry about losing my glasses and then being blind. This has happened before. I set my glasses down and forgot where I put them.


3. I can see in the shower. It’s sad when I drop the soap and I can’t find it. (Insert Navy joke here.)


2. I won’t have to worry about my glasses fogging up when I step inside a building. That’s embarrassing. Especially if I crash into someone. Then it’s like, “Sorry. My glasses fogged up. I wasn’t coming onto you, I swear.” (Unless it was John Krasinski.)


1. NO MORE GLASSES! NO MORE GLASSES! NO MORE GLASSES!

  2. I am following along with your Lasik journey and I am anxious to hear how it goes! In the meantime, use a bottle of bodywash!

  3. Stopping to take off glasses in the middle of romantic moment is annoying!

  4. Well, I haven't had it done. Still wearing my contacts cause I'm a big chicken. But I know several people who have and they all said it wasn't that bad. You'll do fine!

  5. HEY NOW! NO NAVY JOKES!

    Besides, we all know its the Air Force that likes dropping the soap.

    I can't believe swimming wasn't on your list. That's the one thing my wife always talks about.

  6. I think it's great you are doing this, one of my sister's did it a few years ago...LOVED IT, no more glasses or contacts.

    Don't worry all your blog friends will be with you in spirit.

  8. Good luck! I agree with your top 10 reasons! I said the same thing! How nice it is to now be able to watch TV in bed and not worry about falling asleep with my glasses on and waking up and actually seeing the alarm clock! It ROCKS! Good Luck!

  9. Good Luck on Friday! I was terrified before I had my eye surgery but there is nothing better than being able to see the alarm clock in the morning without squinting!

  10. I dream of the day I can fall asleep without having to trudge to the bathroom to take out my contacts! Rock on!!!!

  11. My Mom got lasik and I think it's definitely worth it. I am so tired of being blind in the shower and blind due to glasses fog in the winter.

  12. Yes to all of that! Sooo excited for you :D

  13. Awesome! You'll LOVE it! I wear contacts so I really only deal with glasses at night & when I'm sick but I HATE waking up and not knowing what time it is. I hate not being able to open my eyes under water...I can't wait until my blog posts copy yours!

  14. Good luck with your surgery! I had LASIK done five years ago and it is one of the best things I have ever done! Depending on which kind of LASIK you are getting you might even be able to see the difference right away!

  15. <<chanting, I want Lasik, I want Lasik!
    I'm hating the foggy glasses, and now for whatever reason, when I wear my contacts, I get double vison, while driving, out of nowhere. What's up with that??!!

  16. I can't wait to see how it goes....I sooo want to do it and lose the contacts forever; but I'm chicken.

    A friend of mine had something similar done (a long, long time ago - before there was even a Lasik version) and has loved it.

  17. What about shaving your legs and not missing a spot because you'll be able to see in the shower? That alone might make it worth it to me.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Yes, it will be so nice when it is all done. If I was that blind without my contacts I would consider it too

  19. I hate when I put my glasses in a different place than can't see them.

    Congrats on Friday. My cousin had it done and there are no regrets.

  21. Good luck with the surgery. Only another near-sighted person can truly understand and FEEL YOUR PAIN of your top ten! ;)

  22. Good luck tomorrow...it is going to be a piece of cake!! You're going to be so surprised at how much you'll be able to see a few minutes/hours after the surgery!

  23. Okay! You convinced me! *My daughter is ALWAYS snatching the glasses off of my face. She thinks it's hilarious.. I think, I usually can't see her.. :)
