T Minus 1 Week!

So I've finally decided to do this. Last week I had another consultation with Dr. Rabinowitz at the end of which I scheduled my Visian ICL implant procedures.
Some doctors do both eyes at the same time or within a few days of each other, some perform the iridotomy a couple of weeks before the implant. My doctor told me that he prefers to do the iridotomy at the same time as the implant because some people experience pain during the iridotomy. He also suggested to do my left eye first (it's the non-dominant eye) and the right eye a week later. That way any unexpected complications could be dealt with before the next eye is tackled. Doing it this way would also give me a chance to reverse the procedure if I don't like the immediate results without my dominant eye ever being touched.
So I scheduled the left eye to be done next Monday, May 19th and the right eye for Tuesday, May 27th. It'll cost me a total of $9,800 and I really don't want to think about that part too much right now... but, hey, it's my eyes. If the surgery turns out alright I'll be ecstatic and the thought of having spent 10k won't bother me too much.
Having the eyes done a week apart will be a bit odd.
You can't wear contacts in whichever eye will be worked on for at least a week before surgery. So right now I'm back to wearing glasses even during training. Of course just now one of the little nose pad thingies had to break off so that the damn frame is scratching up the side of my nose. Great. It's quite annoying but obviously not worth fixing or replacing at this point. Anyhow, what this means is that once my left eye is done I'll still have to wear the glasses for the right eye for a week so i'll have to pop out the left lens during that time. It'll be a weird experience for sure. One eye with ICL vision, the other one with the old glass lens. One eye shielded from the elements the other one exposed.
This is all very exciting (and scary). I'll post more as stuff happens.
