Like Jayplay writer Hailey Osterhaus, she went home after the quick outpatient surgery desperate for sleep. After several hours, she opened her eyes and, for the first time since she was a child, she could see the room clearly. She hasn't needed any form of vision correction since.
She had gone under the laser after signing herself up for what was then still a relatively new and unproven procedure: LASIK eye surgery.
Ten years after my mom's surgery, I wonder if LASIK is for me. When my mom got it done, the idea of someone firing lasers into my thenten-year-old eyes scared the bejeezus out of me. Older but perhaps not entirely wiser, I can't say I don't still feel the same.
Do I want to risk my vision, arguably my most important sense? What if I move during the surgery and mess it up? My mom says this is what she worried about most — not that the doctors would screw up, but that she would.
After bearing with pairs of glasses for decades and suffering through the 1980s with hard, uncomfortable, extremely expensive contacts, my mom woke up from a long nap one day in late 1999 and, suddenly, could see.
Check out Hailey's story on page 19 to read more about LASIK surgery and the way it changed her life. Perhaps it'll open your eyes to new and exciting medical possibilities.
And then there's the cost. My mom says it's the best money she's ever spent, but it's not covered by our insurance and, even if I had the money, I'm probably too lazy to bother when contacts don't seem like too much of a pain.
Still, I hear my mom's and Hailey's stories of awakening and feel a tinge of jealousy.
