.:: I Can See Clearly Now... ::.
Here's my link to my blog over at blogger....This virgin entry was the beginning of my journey in the blogging world....It was writen 2 years ago..when I had corneal ulcer and was hospitalised for 5 days.

Then a year later, Bebeh's fate was worst than mine, he gotto undergone a corneal transplant, not once but twice coz the first one didn't suit him...Now, he's on eyedrops and need to visit his doctor on every other month...and it was contact lens or maybe the multi-purpose solutions which caused his misery....
I began to resume wearing contact lens again about a year ago when Bebeh decided to ride after he recovered from the corneal transplant. But I've decided to stick to daily disposable type....However, my gut feeling or phobia is always there each time I wear the contact lenses...I don't want history to repeat!
After mustering enough courage and enough cash (hehe), I've decided to go for LASIK. I've approached the doctor who previously treated me and Bebeh for her opinion. After several tests, I was a suitable candidate for LASIK. However, I was taking a risk as Dr Chan was saying that my old scar is still visible and she was not sure if it will affect the procedure of LASIK.
Anyway, after about 5 minutes of consideration, I decided to go thru with LASIK as I have got nothing to lose, except for the money...I wouldn't know if I didn't try, rite? Alhamdulillah everything went well. The LASIK procedure was less than 10 minutes for each eye and .... I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW!
Why LASIK? I was an avid contact lens wearer for 13years before the mishap and when I got back to glasses, the itch to wear contact lens is always there and true enough within a year I got back to contact lens. Although I wore them only during riding or on special occasions, the phobia feeling is always there and to think long term....daily disposable lenses aren't cheap...and another factor is, yes, I'm a VAIN POT but so what?
Anyway, the point is... I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW and its all that matters!
