It was good news! After two hours of scans, exams, eye drops, dilated eyes, and bright lights I was told that I was a great candidate for the procedure. I am very excited for this to happen. The only concern they had was that I have dry eyes. That wasn't news to me but I suppose I'm just used to it. They said that sometimes after LASIK the eyes can become a little dry. So if I have dry eyes to begin with it may become worse. Personally, I'd rather deal with dry eyes and have good vision than red, irritated contact eyes. I have a month before my surgery to try and get my eyes a little better. So I'll probably be wearing my glasses most of the time. I have an OTC drop I use 4 times a day. Another OTC gel drop 1 time a day. And a prescription drop two times a day. It's a lot to remember! Plus after the surgery I'll have another two prescription drops to keep track of.
Right now my surgery is scheduled for March 18. I have an appointment the week prior so they can check the dryness in my eyes and see if there is any improvement. If there is not, they will push the surgery back. So here's hoping for these drops to do the trick!
And a huge thank you to Shelly for telling me to watch Good Things Utah last Friday! They were offering an awesome coupon to Hoopes Vision. $500 off per eye! I feel so good about going there. I have heard nothing but good things about them.
Tai, if you are reading this....they didn't ask me at all about having more children. I was thinking they would tell me to wait to have LASIK until I was 100% sure I was done having kids. It didn't come up at all!
I can't wait to post about my experience and how wonderful it is to be contact/glasses free!
