Loser

That would be me. I'm a reject. I've been denied. I've been told to go away, that there's nothing they can do for me at this point. I do not meet the qualifications. I'm not a good candidate. I'm too much of a risk. No soup for you. Goodbye.

Actually, it's "No LASIK for me". I went to the surgeon's office for my pre-op appointment yesterday and he discovered some abnormality in the thickness of my cornea. It usually wouldn't be a big deal, but since someone in my family had an eye disease that resulted in cornea transplants, the doctor decided that it would be best if I didn't have LASIK or PRK surgery. Maybe in a few years, another type of surgery will be available for my prescription where he can implant a plastic lens in my eye--it's currently being done on patients with stronger prescriptions.

So until then I have ordered another pair of glasses to replace this old crooked scratched-up pair.  *sob*

If you or someone you know has had this lens implant, tell me how you/they like it.
