Time
flies!! I clearly remember the day when I was being examined for my eligibility
for a Lasik surgery. I wanted to get rid of my glasses that gave me a clumsy
look and handling the contact lenses was combersome. Once a close friend of
mine had undergone Lasik. His happiness, looks and attitude altered for the
better after the Lasik surgery. The results were informed to me by the
consultant at ICARE, I was declared fit to undergo the surgery. On & before
the surgery day, I was a bit nervous but this evaporated at the first sight of
my Doctor, I knew I was in safe hands.
It is
now over six years since I got rid of my glasses; and I have had no problems
whatsoever related to my eyes in these six years. I am also convinced, like my
Doctor, that I would not have to use glasses again.
This
decision has been a life changer. I shifted to Mumbai from Noida for a job, met
my soon to be husband there. I took my own time, saying yes and finally
marrying him and am now a mother of a 3 year old little girl. He now and again
teases me on my ‘with glasses look’ these are photographs of me with my rather
trendy specs! How happy I am (as is my husband) of having got rid of the
glasses. All the new friends I made in Mumbai as well as my daughter’s
classmates mothers who I often met when I left her at nursery school would have
thought me to be a bit drab and uniformed if I had not taken this life changing
decision of getting Lasik procedure done. I am indebted to Dr. Saurabh Choudhry
for explaining the steps of the surgery so patiently and for the marvelous job
done. Besides being thankful to my friend Jasmine who advised me to seek this
solution to rid myself of the glasses.
