The i's have it

Eye can't believe that eye haven't yet blogged about the ol' LASIK eye had done a couple of months ago.

After much hemming and hawing, eye decided to get it done back in July (eye think anyway) by Dr. Bliss (real name) who is world-renown for his technique. Boy oh boy - currently at 20/20 and then some (ok, -.25 in the right i) but can get 50% on the 20/15 line and with out any of the normal side-effects. Eye went all the way in and had WaveFront done (special 3d mapping of the i) for more accuracy.

For those of you who know me (and if you don't, why in the world would you read this blog?) eye had -5.75 in both i's for the past 8 or so years (with little change anyway). So no more contacts or glasses since eye was in 6th grade!

The real reason was a life/death matter. Read the first post about going to Ireland and in that eye mention going to the Aron Islands. Eye was not kidding when eye said that it was very windy and almost fell off a cliff. The reason was that the wind was ripping off the Atlantic and putting a ton of salt into the air. This in turn landed directly in my i's and eye didn't have any saline (how is that for irony) to wash the i-balls out.

Got back to the hotel and was down to a single pair of contacts. Put them in and all was well...Until eye went swimming the the very nice hotel pool and had one contact wash away. No problem, put on the glasses - THAT EYE FORGOT back in California! Oh no MrBill! After this, Maddie pushed me to get over the fear of the surgery and embrace the chance for perfect vision.

Badda Bing! My great i-doc (and brother in-law) told me about Dr. Bliss and the rest is history. So after 3 months by recent check-up had Brandon still marveling over the wonderful job that Dr. Bliss did and the i-chart says that eye C very well now.

Ok, sorry about the transposition of the eye and i's but eye...I couldn't help it. Had to make up for not letting you know. But now you do.
