It's not a secret but I thought it was time I told every one the truth. It is a fact that there are some things about me some people may not know. *Cue spotlight*
I am...
Chinese! Shock horror!! And all the malarky!
So I've been away, simply because I've not been able to see anything, my eyes are too small, literally; can not even have contact lenses cos they're so small.
So anyway, I've had surgery to get them BIGGER!!! For free!! Yay!
Just kidding!
It wasn't to get my eyes bigger, that is just a side effect from the surgery. The thing is I have in-growing eyelashes, sciencey name : trichiasis.
This is where my eyelashes grow in the wrong direction and into my eye. Lucky for me, my hairs are so fine that they only cause irritation but with it means over time it would damage my eye soooo...
...Doc said I gotta have surgery. I actually never knew about it until I tried to get contact lenses where they not only said my eyes were too small and have to get them resized costing me around £33 for a single pair that were monthly ones that could only been worn upto 4 times... not really worth it ¬_¬"
That's when they noticed the streaks on my eye when they did the drip test. Next thing you know I'm in the hospital being told I have an extra row of eyelashes, sciencey name: "distichiasis".
So after about a year of waiting because the doctor who saw me wasn't sure how to do the surgery and having issues because of something to do with the skin at the corner of my eye being folded over more than normal people... What the hell is wrong with my face?!!
So I have too much skin around my eyes and also an extra layer of eyelashes, man my face has issues.
But I really wasn't too put off, the surgery is essentially something done by many Asian actors, pop stars and other people who want western eyes and since I actually had a proper reason for getting it done I didn't feel so vain... not saying I wasn't intrigued by the idea. Let's face it, if you had the chance to get something done for something you wanted done...well you would, wouldn't you?
But I will be annoyed if after this surgery; my eyes still irritated me ¬_¬"
So anyway, I have had my eyes under patches for a few days and now had them off for 3 days and I can honestly say.... I'm out of pain killers and they itch like hell, sting like hell and irritate me even more than the eyelashes did.
This better be worth it ¬_¬"
I will post a picture once it's all healed up and you'll be able to see the difference, if any.
Ta-ra!
