Spring says no dead bodies burried under my lawn

So today I took some time off from work to have a little cosplay fun. I wrestled with a wig for a new costume, pinned to a wighead, then did what I usually do: put it on and take a lot of photos. Why? Because I can't see the flaws as well in the mirror ( Read more... )

I cannot say enough about the lasik surgery I had five years ago. The technology had finally gotten good enough that I could correct my vision with any side effects, not even the occasional halos some people could see around lights at night.

I had worn glasses since I was in 7th grade and occasionally wore contacts, but it really IS a complete different world to not need them and see better than 20/20. The most surprising thing was the explosion of color with the details that came with it. I spent a month standing outside my house looking at the river and the mountain behind it. It never got old. Getting the proceedure done was the best decision I have made in my life.

You don't undertake a cosplay unless you are going to hit it out of the park. Can't wait to see more!

You know, I'm afraid of lasik, mostly because I heard that you're conscious and you see it happening... I don't want to hear or see my eye being cut with a scalpel! And what if they mess up?

*basketcase about lasik*

Although to be honest, I'd be SO HAPPY to SEE.

Hearing you talk about the results, though, is really inspiring.
But... FEAR. D:

Surgery is a subjective term with what is done. These days it is all done by machine ( ... )

I started reading up on all that can go wrong and night vision and dry eye (I think my eyes are naturally dry so I might not even be a viable candidate)...

AND THIS IS ME RIGHT NOW:

LOL! The night vision was caused by not mapping all of the imperfections of the eye, but the machines in the past three years have that fine and it doesn't happen any more.

Heh... it never looks to look into it. :p Lot of good centers in the DC/Baltimore area.
