Happy Friday DINKS. It’s Friday April 20th and in 5 days I am having eye surgery. My right eye is crossed and has been this way since birth. After 31 years of having crossed eyes (or as my parents say a lazy eye) there is finally some new technology that can improve the look (and straightness) of my eyes.
This eye surgery is purely esthetic; it will not correct my eye prescription or vision. I am not nervous about my surgery; I am actually more excited than anything else. I can’t believe that I am actually going to be able to wear contact lenses without be self conscious about the way that my eyes look. The only thing that I am a little bit scared about is going under the general anesthetic. I am a little bit scared that the general anesthetic won’t be effective and that I may be awake surgery. But that is just my own little fear, I am sure that it won’t happen.
Have a great weekend DINKS and enjoy these posts from around the web:

Wow I didn’t realize they now had eye surgery to fix crossed eyes. That’s great since people with that problem can probably get pretty self conscious about it. Even if someone doesn’t care if you’re crossed eyed, it’s just natural for our eyes to be drawn to that and probably make the person even more paranoid about it.
Thanks for the Adaptu mention! Good luck with your surgery!
Thanks for the include!
On a personal note, I have a bit of a lazy eye, left over from a similar (though much less-advanced, I’m sure) surgery I had as a wee one. It’s not pronounced enough for me to need surgery now, but I’d love to hear the outcome of yours in case I change my mind in the future. Hope it goes well!
Thank you everyone for the warm wishes. I will give you an update next week. Fingers Crossed.
You will be in my thoughts and prayers while the surgery is happening. I’m excited for you!
