  Laser Eye Surgery (part 4) - Post-op Sunglasses Uncategorized | (2)

  For the past few weeks I’ve been shopping around for a new pair of sunglasses as my current ones are prescription, and will be useless to me come Friday afternoon. Having visited just about every mall in the GTA, I’ve been stopping in the Sunglass Hut stores to get their opinion on what kind of glasses I should get. Every salesperson I spoke to said that there was no other way for me to go except with polarized lenses. They tell me my eyes will be extremely sensitive post-op, and that I need all the protection I could get. After being ...

When they activated it, a strobe light went off that I could see passing from one edge of the eye to the other.

  I’ve decided to bite the bullet and be rid of my eye glasses forever. Before the end of the year, I won’t have a need for them anymore and will have better vision than I’ve ever had. Today was the first step towards that goal, as I had my pre-operation consultation with my Optometrist. I had just seen him a few weeks ago to check my prescription and was delighted to find out that it had finally stabilized after several years of degradation. Today, he performed a number of crazy tests that I’ve never had done before. The first step was to ...
