Chasing the Wind

News. Faith. Nonsense.

Lasik Followup

I had a followup checkup for my Lasik surgery. The doctor showed me several lines that were too easy to read, then:

Doc: How about that line?
Me: E-G-H-T
Doc: And this one?
Me: Umm….
Doc: Too hard, huh?
Me: Well, it looks like V-N-O-T to me.
Doc: Wow. That’s because that’s what it is. That’s the 20/10 line, too. And here’s a stack of business cards, tell all your friends where you got that excellent vision. (pause) But don’t tell them their vision will be this good, ok?

I couldn’t be happier with my new, very sharp vision. And yes, I’ll give the doctor a free plug; Dr. Slade and Dr. Baker do excellent work.

    Congrats on your surgery

    My name is Doctor Allan Robbins and I am one of a few highly experienced Rochester lasik doctors. As a Rochester Lasik Surgeon I have performed thousands of operations. I was one of the first eye doctors in the United States to work with Lasik. In 1988 the FDA allowed me to own an experimental version of today’s modern lasers that I used to perform laser vision correction surgery.

    The goal of my web site is to provide information to the people in Rochester about LASIK surgery. LASIK Rochester maybe of interest to you and can be found at http://www.lasik-rochester.net .

About Me

Michael, a sinner saved by grace, sharing what the good Lord has shared with me.

Solomon, in the book of Ecclesiastes, said, “I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”

If you’re not living for the glory of God, then what you’re doing is meaningless, no matter what it is. Living for God gives life meaning, and enjoying a “chasing after the wind” is a gift from God. I’m doing what I can to enjoy this gift daily.

Got questions? I’m not surprised. If you have any questions about Chasing the Wind, you can email me at chasingthewind@outlook.com.
