Barbie wants LASIK!
Donation protected
Hello people!
So, this is pretty straightforward.
I've had glasses on for as long as I could remember. Next month, mid-february, I will be turning 25 years old. At this point, my vision has been at a pretty solid -6 contact prescription for years, and people love to look through my glasses to pretend they're drunk, so you could imagine the state of my eyesight. Anywho, I mustered up the courage and I went to a doctor to see if I could get my vision corrected with a LASIK procedure, and much to my surprise, I am a candidate!
If you don't know, and would like more information on LASIK, here's a pretty good 5 min video that explains it:
How LASIK works!
Cool right? Lasers man!
Carrying on.
Apparently, I could get the original procedure but I have thin corneas to deal with. Because of the thin corneas, I need a PRK procedure done, which is safer (PHEW! ^_^") cause they don't cut flaps into my EYEBALLS. Now as amazing as this sounds, its not cheap, and insurance doesn't care enough to cover it.
Here's a site explaining the PRK :)
Conclusion: I'm asking for whatever you want to help me with. This is so that I can stop waking up every morning to blurriness. And so my eyelashes dont smudge mascara on my glasses. And so the risk of my eyes falling out of my head because of some infection reduces dramatically thanks to not wearing contacts anymore. And I could finally learn how to become an eye makeup guru! =P The pros outweigh the cons on this one. Wanna hook it up with a fire assist?!
;) <3
Love, Barbra
