I grew up with terrible eyesight, due to way too much game boy and TV-watching. Wear glasses in childhood and that really affected my self-image. Started wearing contacts at 14 and that was better, but still, putting some plastic thing in your eye...eek...kinda scary. When I graduated from college and started working, I don't know, I just woke up one day and said I'm going to get lasik surgery and be done with this eye stuff forever. Best decision of my life. It's been six years since the surgery and my eye are amazing! You never appreciate excellent eyesight until you don't have it and I'm so blessed to granted another chance to enjoy it!
