Though the Lasik surgery was an awful experience, I can't deny that the advent of such a medical technology has brought about many positive changes to my life.

Last week, I finally bade farewell to those uncomfortable contact lenses which tend to cause eye infection. Also, gone were those embarrassing days of alighting from an air-con bus or car with my glasses fogged. Now, I wake up every morning to perfectly clear vision without having to grope for my spectacles.

My vision has improved significantly over the week. Though I still suffer from a bit of dry eyes at times and see halos at night, I was told they will eventually go away with time. Keeping my fingers crossed!

I still have another 12 years to go before long-sightedness sets in and I will need to wear glasses again OR to go for another Lasik surgery (that's if I'm crazy enough to put myself through the ordeal again). In the mean time, I shall just enjoy my perfect vision while it lasts!
