Yeah, I'm hoping to have the surgery next year. My dad had it done at least a year ago now, and he is doing great. My optometrist wants me to wait another year to make sure my eyes aren't changing prescription much (there was only a slight change over the past year). So if they're staying stable by my next eye exam I'll look into it further!

The optometrist said she thinks I still have a slight infection left. She gave me a prescription for the strongest antibiotic eye drop available, and wants me to use it for 5-7 days. If it's not better then, I get to go back to her again. Luckily this one is only 3x a day instead of once per hour! Anyways, I thought I'd be paying for these appointments just like I'd pay for an eye exam because my insurance doesn't cover vision care. BUT apparently these consultations are just covered under my general provincial health care! Who knew! So when I went to Walmart for my prescription, I got to do a little shopping for myself too with that money I saved lol.
