LASIK Pre-op Done!
My procedure is scheduled for Wednesday, May 10th at 7pm. I'm thrilled to have an evening procedure so our youngest can be in bed before I leave, and I can go straight to bed for the night when I get home. On Saturday, I went to ClearChoice for my pre-op appointment, and was there for about an hour and a half. I had vision tests, a glaucoma test, my eyes were dilated, I watched a thorough video

13 has always been my lucky number. My family was in the hotel business growing up, and despite hoteliers normally succumbing to good old-fashioned superstition the number 13 was our favorite. One of the first companies I freelanced for out of college was named "One Three," and my husband and I went out on our first date on Friday the 13th. The list goes on. During a coffee meeting a couple weeks ago on April 13th I was introduced to someone who works for Clear Choice Custom Lasik in Brecksville, Ohio. As casually as you might say, can I get you a water, he said “you should get Lasik.” I didn’t bother to ask him if he saw me squinting at my computer.
The truth is, I considered Lasik many times over the years. Out of college in my twenties I wanted it, but I put the money I saved towards veneers. Then again in 2011 after I had my first baby I went to a consult, but I was breastfeeding, which meant I wasn't a candidate at the time for surgery. So, when he suggested I go in for a consult, he didn't have to say it twice. What he didn't know was my 2017 New Year's Resolution was to get Lasik. Sounds like a weird resolution, but a few years ago I resolved to get my hearing tested so this was really a step up from previous self-help resolutions.
I've worn glasses since I was in 6th grade..ahem for 30 years. I'm not going to go on about how inconvenient they are because there have been many times that I liked my spectacles, but the single biggest reason I've wanted Lasik was parenthood. After having children, I found myself irrationally afraid of waking in the middle of the night to a fire and not being able to see to save my children. Therefore, I sleep in glasses. I always have two pairs of glasses. A nicer pair I wear on days I don't want to wear contact lenses and another pair that I don't mind bending and sleeping in nightly.
After my April 13th encounter, I was in for a consultation the very next day. I’m done having babies, and nothing is holding me back from Lasik now! Every year I complain when I have to order yearly supplies of contacts and when I have to buy new glasses. I know I’m not off the hook on annual eye exams, but it feels like Lasik pays for itself quickly when you’re used to spending $500+ a year in glasses and contacts. It wouldn’t be me if I didn’t research the details ad nauseum. Admitteldy, I went to more than one consultation to make sure I felt confident with who would perform the surgery and that the facility was at the top of its field. Even though I’ve chosen Clear Choice Custom Lasik in Brecksville the verdict was the same everywhere I went. I’m an ideal candidate. My corneas are thick enough, I don’t have excessively dry eyes and even though my prescription is high it’s within range for corrective surgery. My friends rave about the results and more than once I’ve been told I will consider it one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
Clear Choice suggested SMILE. It’s less invasive and the newest method for laser eye surgery. I chose Clear Choice and Dr. William Wiley because the facility felt state of the art and they bent over backwards to make sure I was both comfortable and fully educated on the procedure. My surgery is scheduled for May 10th and my pre-op appointment is May 6th. It sounds crazy, but I can’t wait to go back. It’s no stretch when I say I’m looking forward to this as much as I look forward to a spa day! There’s something about Lasik and going to Clear Choice that feels luxurious and like it’s just for me. As a busy Mom, I’m thrilled to be carving out a little time for myself and doing something I’ve always wanted to do!
