Good Morning Gentle Readers,
I've only had Xanax that one time when I had laser eye surgery. Boy Howdy™, when it kicked in just before the cutting began, I immediately asked for another. Hey, the guy was about to hack on my eyeballs. Doctor Vishteh chuckled and declined. Said he needed me in a functional state, not knocked out. He promised to send me home with another Xanax, though. He also warned me to go home and sleep. I did. Woke up about nine in the evening, drank a glass of wine to wash down the second Xanax. Slept like the dead and the next morning I could see perfectly.
This is important: I chose the Lasik guy because Every. Single. One. of his reviews on Yelp was 5 star.
The new vision was great until years later when the cataracts tinted my vision in shades of pumpkin spice. Got that fixed too. Had I known, I would have skipped the Lasik and gone straight to lens replacement. That's good advice for anyone considering Lasik. Costly? Sure. Lasik is all out-of-pocket and if you do an early, optional lens replacement, it's all out-of-pocket as well. However, it's way more efficient to do it once and done. Here's the other thing, if you wait until you need cataract surgery, about 75% of that cost is also out-of-pocket. At least if you want the really good eyes it is.
As Ever,
