Eye!
Posted by Liza under Personal, The Real Live Boy
I’m about 90% sure that I’m having lasik surgery. Today was the big pre-surgery doctor’s appointment where they go over what they think will work best with your eyes, any concerns they have (my pupils get really big, I’ll probably still have halos at night; I have them now, because my pupils already get really big), and of course, they dilate your pupils to look at everything.
Normally, I don’t try to wear sunglasses over my glasses, but this time I needed them.
Fortunately, in her role as Lt. Scorch, Jill had a fabulous pair that she never wears — that even fit over my regular glasses.
So I wore these awesome sunglasses over my regular glasses for the rest of the afternoon. Or at least until I picked Noah up from day care.

They are fabulous indeed.
My input on lasik — have one eye done at a time. That way, in the very unlikely event that anything goes wrong, you’re not totally screwed. Claire has a friend in Key West who lost vision in both eyes because, oops, the doctor did something not quite right, and I used to know a lawyer who sued doctors who had made patients’ vision worse.
Not to try to be scary — just what sounds like a good precaution.
