what's worrying...

when you are in the IT dept and one of your colleagues uses only their middle fingers to bang away at the keyboard.... *sweat*....

well well... wifey finally did her lasik for both eyes and i've taken leave to take care of her. Taking care of her involves waking her up every 2 hrs to apply eye drops to her eyes and then keeping her company. We took pics too and will be posting up soon.

Her eyes now r ok as of checkup today and has somewat better vision than normal. Yesterday @ the eye clinic waiting (there are quite a few pple doing lasik sia..) i finally understood wat 20/15 or 9/6 vision means.

6/6 is normal. means that u can see clearly what normal pple sees at 6m. For shortsightedness, usually its 6/20 or so. Means you can see clearly at 6m what a normal person can see clearly at 20m away. (i.e. if an item is 20m away, u must go up to 6m away from that item to be able to see it clearly).

SO with 9/6 means that you can see an item clearly 9m away whereas a normal person must be 6m away to see the same item clearly.

And here i thought having 9/6 means you can have x-ray vision or something :P

oh well...still, being able to wake up and see CLEARLY is still a good advantage of lasik ... i might go for mine end of the year or something....
