Road to Damascus...

After four years of deliberation I finally bit the bullet and went for laser corrective eye surgery on the 31st March ...

I now have better than 20:20 vision and don't need to wear glasses anymore! YEY!!

Praise God for Ophthalmic R&D and for Ophthalmologists (which has to be one of the worlds most squeamish jobs!) and for our jobs which will help us to afford it!

I have been grossing out those who care to listen with the gory details...it was pretty grim but totally worth it! The first two days were terrifying as my eyelid muscles were so weak I physically couldn't open my eyes - so grateful to have Toby around to help & pin me down to put my eye drops in every 2 hours!! Since then it’s been getting better and better everyday, I even drove today for the first time since my op!

The first thing we did was buy some fab new non-prescription sunglasses, my first pair in over 15 years! I have to wear them whenever I'm exposed to UV light for the next few weeks. I'm very excited about being able to see while swimming, surfing and diving but have to wait a few months for that - however I'm keen to try out my new depth perception so we're off mountain biking in the Peak District tomorrow!
