That’s right. I can see. This is significant because before last Wednesday I could not do so without the aid of contacts or glasses. Today, I can see without those troublesome devices. I had my eyeballs polished with lasers!
I am still kind of in awe of the whole thing. Last week I had custom Lasik eye surgery to correct my vision and today my vision is better than it has ever been at 20/10. I have had glasses ever since elementary school, so almost my entire life. Seeing without glasses is like a miracle to me. I am still coming to grips with it. It is as much an emotional as it is physical change in a strange way.
The reason I mention it here on my cigar blog is as an excuse. My eyes are still healing and they are not quite ready to deal with the hassle of cigar smoke yet. They need a little more time to settle in and heal a bit before I expose them to that. So, due to my lack of sufficient planning, my review of the Tatuaje J21 will be delayed at bit. I had planned to have it up this week, but now I will be pushing it back a week to give my eyes the time they need. So no review this week. Just an apology for the delay and the sharing of some exciting news. I cannot wait until I have a chance to get out on the motorcycle for the first time without glasses or contacts. I know that alone will make the surgery worth it.
That’s cool!
I’m also considering Lasik although I’m pretty much satisfied with my contacts so far (switching from glasses to contacts was amazing…). What’s the cost of the operation these days?
It varies. There are a lot of options available to you now with all the different technologies available. Your eyes have a say in what you can and can’t do as well. When I was researching it I saw everything from $999 per eye on up to $3000 per eye.
Congrats on a successful operation! It’s always a good idea to lay off the smokes when you’re healing. I have a J21 set aside for a special occasion, so I’m looking forward to seeing your review when the time is right.
Congrats, Matt! Stop by the shop soon and we’ll celebrate!
Thanks Jamie. I’m hoping I’ll be able to make it up there next week. I’ll let you know. It’s been too long since I’ve been up there. Do you know if Hal has got the Ambos Mundos in yet? I have heard they are on shelves now.
I just had mine done last month. I know how you feel. Make sure you keep the sunglasses on for a while. Your eyes will heal quicker and won’t burn as much!
Congrats.
Thanks Brad. Already doing exactly that. The good news is I already find myself needing the wetting drops less and less now. I am only using them at the prescribed regular intervals between medicated drops now. Last week I need them a lot more often then that. Only have a few days left on the medicated drops. I’ll be thankful when I’m done with those.
