Hello world!

It hit me the other day – my vision is so bad that I almost can’t function. 

I’ve learned to ignore this by always wearing my contacts, but that pays a toll on you as well.   My fiancee and I went on a night out with our friends the other day.  Of course,  I chose to wear my contacts for the evening (avoiding the glasses).  At a certain point in the night, however, my eyes could take no more.  My eyes were red and dry, so I tossed the contacts out.   At that moment I realized two things.  I no longer can wear the contacts since they irritate my eyes, and without them, I am lost.  Faces were a blur, menus were hazy, and the street lights looked like large shining christmas ornaments. 

I am -5.0.  I’ve thought about LASIK before, but this time I thought about it seriously.  I’ve known many friends and co-workers who have had LASIK and have nothing but good things to say.  Jealous of their vision, I’m considering the procedure.  It’s amazing how vision can impact your life.  Perhaps I could save the additional 15 minutes in the morning that I spend prying the contacts into my eyes.   I’ve just started looking into LASIK, but I want more input.  Should I do the procedure?
