No, not THAT kind of implants! (Although considering my recent Feel Great in Eight results it might not be a bad idea!) :) I'm getting ICLs or Implantable Contact Lenses! ICL's are lenses that are implanted behind your iris and in front of your eye's natural lens to correct poor vision. They are an alternative for people whose prescriptions are too strong to be corrected by Lasik, i.e. ME! Today I went in for all my pre-surgical measurements and to get microscopic holes lasered thru my eyes so that the fluid can pass back and forth between the layers of my eye for the next two weeks. Sounds like fun huh? And in two weeks from this Friday I will be contact and glasses free FOREVER MORE!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!
