Lasic Surgery
My husband has worn glasses since he was a child. He isn’t really into contacts,
so until the advent of lasik surgery or lasic as we like to call it, we figured
he was destined to wear glasses and rely on my good eyes for the rest of his
life. He became interested in lasic surgery almost as soon as it was made
available, but a fear of having anything jabbing around his eyes kept him from
pursuing it at first. A fear of the cost kept me from encouraging him to pursue
it.
It wasn’t until about a year ago, that he got so tired of wearing glasses
that he started doing a bit of research on lasic surgery. I knew he was
serious about it when he started leaving charts at my place at the breakfast
table that compared the cost of lasic surgery to the cost of replacing
glasses for the rest of his life. Sometimes at dinner, in between asking me
to pass the potatoes, he would casually mention that he had heard the cost
of lasic surgery was going down.
Finally, I got the hint and I agreed to go to the lasic surgery office with
him and investigate whether or not he was a good candidate for a lasic
surgery procedure. The whole eye exam only took a few minutes and we were
able to watch a video of the procedure in the waiting room. I have to admit,
that I was a bit squeamish about the idea, but my husband was so excited
that I didn’t want to stand in the way of his lasic surgery. If he wanted to
have his cornea peeled back, I figured that was up to him.
The day of his lasic surgery, we showed up at the office on time, eye drops
in hand and ready to toss his glasses in the trash bin on our way out the
door. The doctor informed me that as the spouse of the patient, I could
watch the whole lasic surgery on a monitor. I can honestly say that I have
seen a side of my husband that most wives don’t get to see.
It wasn’t until the doctor was halfway into the lasic surgery procedure that
I had an awful thought and almost yelled for the doctor to stop. I suddenly
realized that for the first time in our marriage, my husband would really
see the way I look first thing in the morning.
