Once you’re fully healed, you’ll do things you never thought possible. Like going for a run and not having to push your glasses up your nose every thirty seconds. Or swimming without those prescription goggles that make you look like a time traveler from the 1990s. Rain? Bring it on. You’ll see every drop like you’re in a music video.
And the little moments—like reading a text from your mom without squinting, or seeing a friend across the street and not mistaking them for a mailbox—become joyful little miracles. You’ll find yourself looking at things just because you can. The cracks in the sidewalk, the texture of a brick wall, the way the sun hits a puddle.
So if you’re in City Springs, Georgia, and you’re on the fence about PRK, take it from someone who’s been there: Do it. Your future self will thank you. Just bring a good pair of sunglasses, a funny podcast to listen to while you recover, and a friend who’s willing to drive you to the pharmacy for more eye drops. You’ve got this.
And hey, if you ever feel nervous, just remember: at least you’re not wearing a pirate patch. Unless that’s your thing. No judgment.
