Being Azury

I am
practically rabun from the day I was born. And when the rabunness was detected
at the age of 6, I started wearing glasses. When I was 18, my mom decided that
it was time for me to transform from an ugly duckling to a beautiful swan (keh
keh!) so she generously sponsored my first pair of contact lenses. Finally, my
life was free from the hideous glasses! I happily get rid of it and never wear
it again… until recently…

My permanent
contact lenses expired and I bought a new disposable pair from England Optical.
After a while, my eye started feeling uncomfortable, pedih2 and sometimes
itchy. I thought that I’m allergic to the disposable lenses so I changed back
to permanent lenses. But still, none of the problems solved so the only option
I had at that time was… to wear glasses again. Uhuk.. uhuk… mencinye, tak
suke!!

That was the
moment I decided to have my eye checkup for Laser Surgery. Gosh, the word
SURGERY itself freaks the hell out of me! But then again, no pain… no gain,
right? (Sort of, I guess.. sebab org kata laser surgery ni tak sakit pun. Ye
ke?) So.. I went to Optimax, got a basic eye checkup and the result was: Mata
anda sesuai untuk dilaser, yahoo! Dah suke dah sket. But due to different
thickness of the cornea, I can’t have the same surgery for both eyes. Right eye
kena buat Intralasik, left eye Lasek (tak ingat la apa bezanya tapi Intralasik
tu lagi cepat recover la). After the eye test, I get to sit one to one dengan
sorg mamat Optimax ni yg dengan lajunya menerangkan prosedur2 di atas & dgn
lancarnya menjawab soalan2ku yang pelbagai. Habis semua, kitorang pun balik.

But two
months later, until today, I still haven’t decided whether to get the laser
surgery or not. I guess some of the factors that bother me are: (1) Due to my high power, there’re possibilities
that I might get rabun back after a few years. (2) My mom; yang generously sponsored my
first pair of contact lenses 10 years ago, kali ini membangkang hasrat hatiku dengan
berkata, “Pakai spec aje la Long…”  Cheh, patah semangatku. Tapi heran jugak sebab dia pun pernah laser mata few years ago. Hhmm… 

So now… I’m in dilemma.  I need help! Advice me please. Anybody?
