My LASIK Consultation Experience
I’m a big believer in creating the future you want for yourself. We are in control of our actions, our decisions, and what we decide to accept or not accept in our lives. Last month I decided I was done with accepting glasses and contacts as a part of my life. I want to fix… [Read More]

The lowdown on LASIK (and other laser eye surgeries)
I was in fifth grade when my vision got blurry. I don’t remember the specifics of how it happened but at the start of the year I could see everything clearly and by the end of the year I needed glasses to make things far away come into focus. (Otherwise known as nearsightedness.) Thus began… [Read More]
