Iris’s Perspective: Some Wear Their Sunglasses at Night

When I think of how difficult it is for me to see at night, this does make me think of laser eye surgery.

My vision is so bad at night that sometimes I do not even go out. When I am sitting in my backyard and have seen raccoons passing by around garbage and recycling days, once in awhile I have mistaken them for cats. My vision is really bad at night.

Laser eye surgery could be something that would correct this. I have heard some people say that they find when they do the surgery their night vision looks a little like a cable TV when the connection is not as strong. I know other people where their vision with laser eye surgery is so good it is like looking at HDTV. This must be really great.

During the day when I can see better, I once saw the brothers from Lasik and Lasik Eye Surgery bicycling down the street close to where I live. This is something else that would be great with eye surgery too. There would be an ability to bicycle without worrying about wearing eyeglasses that can restrict the range of sight.

This is also true of driving. I cannot stand wearing my glasses when I drive. Sometimes I really think they affect my effectiveness as a driver. I am legislated by law from the time I took my road test at 16 to wear my glasses when I drive – or at least my contacts or to have surgery. All these things help me to understand why someone would choose laser eye surgery.

There was a time when I was driving at one of the intersections in downtown Toronto and I was turning left. The sign said you could not turn left from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Due to my vision with my glasses, I thought it read 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. I was also driving at night.

I made the turn and got a ticket. To this day two points are off my license because I could not see the sign correctly. Yes, laser eye surgery can be a splendid thing.

Zhara's Blog

Donna: What started your interest in hair? Zhara: I think for the majority of black women myself included, I've always been obssesed with a major interest in my hair! Lol. My hair has always been a forefront of never ending years of hair dilemmas and styles. Black hair is the most fragile and versatile texture in the world.This has made my hair journey an interesting one from being natural as a child to permed in my teen years with good and bad hair days that brought about emotions and experiences that lay down deep in the soul. A black woman can never escape her personal hair struggles unless she makes peace with it and works with her hair in tune with nature....thankfully going natural has definitley lead me to this path :) Donna: Tell me about your website? Zhara: It's actually more of a community of support and motivation more than a personal website per se. I joined a community online photo blog called fotki.com to document my personal hair journey among thousands of other

Britney Spears Plans Plastic Surgery

Britney Spears is planning to undergo cosmetic surgery because she has slacked off her diet sources say. Spears would like her body to be the way it was before she had kids. Spears has been ripping pages out of magazines to choose what she thinks are her favourite body parts. Sources say Spears is insecure over how much her body has changed since having her kids. She is reported wanting to do whatever it takes to be back to her best, even if that means plastic surgery. Psychologist Linda Blair says that Britney may need more than just plastic surgery to feel better about herself. Blair says people often think plastic surgery is the answer and will solve their problems when it really does not. Spears is looking into getting a tummy tuck, liposuction, breast enhancement and rhinoplasty. She is also looking to get a chemical peel for her facial skin.
