Lasik Surgery is not Cheating

On Sunday we went to my mom and dads to drop off a fathers day gift for my dad. My dad loves golf and even at 70 still golfs 3 times a week. So we bought him Titliest Golf Balls. His eyes lit up,which made my eyes light up. Me myself, never cared for the sport. Don't know much about it other than you hit a ball into a hole. While we were there they had the TV on and mom and dad were watching Tiger Woods on TV. My mother adores him. As it turns out Tiger did win the U.S Open and capture the 14th major title.



While watching the TV, I took my glasses off to change the baby, who was laying on the floor on a blanket. I have to take my glasses off now when I do anything close up, because, well...my eyes are getting retarded. So, I laid my glasses on the floor, and lo and behold guess what happened. Mini Bug comes running thru the room and stepped on them. Yep, broken twisted glasses. So while my mom was trying to fix and strengthen my glass out, Dr Corny says to me. Bug, I think it's time you get Lasik surgery done and get rid of those glasses. My mother than piped in, ohhh did you know Tiger Woods had that surgery done? We didn't but it was nice to know. Daddy-O then chipped in and said, Yes Tiger had it done and some people say it's cheating. I said, how can that be cheating? That makes no sense to me at all. If he wore glasses or contacts would that be cheating? No. If something is wrong with your body and you get it fixed, that is not cheating. I swear I don't understand how some people think. Even the Air Force allows laser vision correction for fighter pilots, Special Forces too. I don't understand how anyone can think that fixing something that is broken on your body is cheating.

Anyways, my husband aka Dr. Corny had Lasik Surgery done in 2006. He now has 20/20 vision. I was worried when he first started talking about getting it done. I didn't know much about it then, and was concerned about his eyes. He was adamant..he was getting it done. Well he did, and other than having to wear goggles on his eyes at night for a week (so that while he was sleeping he didn't rub his eyes) and using eye drops for awhile (I can't remember how long he had to use them but it wasn't long or inconvenient for him), he didn't have any problems at all. The day after his surgery he could see perfect! For him, there was no pain whatsoever. He recommends the surgery to anyone that asks him about it.

He has been wanting me to get the surgery for some time now, and keeps mentioning it. Now that my glasses are broken and twisted, and I walk around squinting, he wants me to go get an examination. Lasik surgery isn't for everyone. There are some people that can't have it done, and I am thinking I am in that category. I have existing health problems like my heart and other things. He says it doesn't hurt to get an examination and at least try. I suppose he is right.

I was searching on the web for Lasik Surgery, and looking for a Dr. that offers Free Consultation , silly me put in the wrong zip code so I got the listings for Lasik in San Francisco

Too bad I don't live in San Francisco because LaserVue also offers, no down, no interest financing, and you can apply online so you know if you qualify even before you make an appointment. Payments are about $60 a month.

So I will do another search and find a Dr closer to me here in FL, or talk to Dr. Corny about me flying back to PA and having it done at the same Dr. he had his done with. Or I will chicken out completely and just go get a new pair of glasses.
