Going blind

Seems like long hours staring at the screen has taken a toll on my eyes. And the books.i have stopped wearing contacts because i am having trouble with them. i need to get my eyes checked. i was thinking of going in for LASIK surgery. i mean, it would be liberating not to worry anout taking off your lens when you are sleepy or putting on your lens. And yes, searching for your spectacles when you havethem perched on your dainty nose. But i read that there are chances that your vision might actually deteriaote. eeeeks.. The procedure would hardly take minutes and i would be able toreturn home and be functional on the same day. But i weighing the pros and cons..On one side, i have the vision of a specs/contact free life...But eyesight is such a precious thing. And ifsomething were to go wrong, i guess i would tear out my eyebrows in frustration.

One of my friends was successfully in chucking his specs after the surgery. But he did it in the States. Oh well, here goes that common but often misleading perception that anything "phoren" hasto be better.

Too many things going on in and around me. One thing i have re-discovered is that i still have the guts to stick to what i feel is right. My principles will be the death of me someday. Sometimes,just sometimes, i wish i was "normal". That i did not have a conscience that would prick in situations when "normal" people would not bat an eyelid. But then, i love myself the way i am.
