no LASIK for me

Well, poop.

I went to see the fine people at TLC Laser Eye Centers today. Free consultations are great.

Unfortunately, I am not a candidate for LASIK. I cannot enjoy the benefits of 20/20 vision without glasses or contacts. Well, honestly, I can't enjoy those benefits with glasses or contacts. Regardless, it's very frustrating.

I am amblyopic: I have a "Lazy Eye". And the Federal Gov't doesn't allow LASIK surgery on people with amblyopia. The freakin' bastards!

But otherwise, I am perfectly elligible for laser corrective surgery. And, if you're considering it, you should do yourself a favor and go in for the free consultation. It doesn't take too long and once you're done you'll know if its a good option for you.
