Well actually it is a laser. I'm have LASIK laser eye correction surgury done to correct my near sightedness. Everything should turn out fine but it is my eyes so I'm a little nervous about it. This is something I have wanted to do for a long time (I've worn glasses and contacts for 15 years) so tomorrow I go for an exam to check the health of my eyes and if everything is OK the Thursday at 3pm EDT I will have surgury. Wish me luck.
Almost forgot next Thursday I'm having my wisdom teeth taken out. I'm not excited about that one.
[EDIT] Well I went for the preop exam today and got the bad news that my corneas are too thin for the surgury right now. This is caused by my contacts sucking the moisture out of the cornea and more time is needed without contacts for my eyes to readujst again (normal I'm told for this to happen to contact wearers especially when they wear them as much as I do). So I have to go another week without contacts and put moisturising drops in my eyes every two hours. If everything checks out next Wednesday then I'll be having the surgury done on the 14th.
[EDIT2] Well went back to the surgeon again today and I got more bad news. My corneas are too thin for LASIK, so I will never be able to have the surgury done.
However, I am still a candidate for LASEK so I will be having it done next Tuesday and the Tuesday after. It is the same surgury as LASIK except both eyes cannot be done the same day and since they don't cut the protective flap and just shave the front of the eye, healing time is longer (a week or two) and there is increased risk of infection. They say the results are the same so I'm going to go ahead and have it done.
Also I'm still having my wisdom teeth out in about 12 hours.
