Four Eyes

May 9, 2010 · 25 comments

I’ve required prescription eyeglasses since I was 16.

But then–a few years back–I got lasik.  I absolutely reveled in my 20/20 vision.  I gladly kissed my geeky eyewear goodbye.  I threw out my contact solution and did a happy dance.

Time passed.

And then one day, I woke up and realized I couldn’t see the alarm clock.  I made an optometrist appointment and there it was there that my worst fears were confirmed: my vision had reverted right back to where it had been pre-lasik.  Apparently, I can thank Jayce pregnancy hormones for that.

The bad news?

I’m not a candidate for a “fix-it” surgery because my corneas are too thin.  {Nevermind my patience}.

Back to square one for me.  Glasses.

These were the cutest I could find.

Watcha think?

Very cute! They suit you.

Will you wear all the time, or are they just for reading?

I’ve thought you were simply adorable from the moment I first saw you in a crowded Nashville conference hall. Now? You are smokin’, girl.

I had heard that pregnancy can do that. I have never seen a case where it actually happened. I’m so sorry. I want lasik badly but I am waiting till we are done having kiddos. :)

I really like your glasses and am also curious if you will need to wear them all the time or if you can wear contacts also? I can’t see my feet without mine so I mainly wear contacts.

Very cute specs! The same thing happened to me – lasik (twice) and my eyes are no longer 20/20. I’m scared to go back for a 3rd enhancement and wonder if I can live w/ glasses and/or contacts again.

Well you know, Tina Fey is the crush of every man so you’ve got that goin’ for ya.

I have AWFUL vision. Glasses since 3rd grade. The first thing I do in the morning is put my contacts in, and taking them out is the last thing at night. Even though it’s a pain in the rear, I’m still scared to do lasik. We’ll see. Maybe when I’m done having babies.

Hot Momma!!! Cute! That’s a bummer about the Lasik…I had it a few years ago too and I love it! I would be so bummed to have to go back to glasses/contacts!

Cute glasses! I look horrible in glasses :(
I had lasik about 4 years ago. I have glare problems and floaters but I still have 20/20 vision.

I LOVE them! I wish I had the face shape to wear that style of frame. You go girl!

Very cute glasses! And hair! You look adorable, as usual. :-)

Definitely cute – they’re super stylish and they frame your face exactly right!

I have the hardest time picking out glasses and I never seem to be completely satisfied with my choice. Maybe that’s why I opted for contacts this time around…

Love them. Honestly I’ve never seen you have a less than HOT moment. I’ve been near-sighted since my early 20s which was a LONG time ago. I’ve tried to get contacts in my eyes. Failed twice. And scared of lasik. Just wish that I looked like a hot librarian in my glasses. You rock!

You look great! I also think strong black frames would look cool on you…buddy holly style :)

I had very thin corneas too. I had Lasek instead. Is that an option? If not, the glasses are WAY cool and you look great in them!
