so i have to make a decision... i'm a typical 21 year old girl.... who has glaucoma. i can either continue being treated for pressure for the rest of my life or have my eye removed and a fake one put in. this poses a problem - or quite a few of them. financially it would be wise for the remvoal - especially since in a year and a half i go off of my parents insurance. on the other hand... who wants a fake eye? but since i have no sight in it anymore it doesnt matter... but than... arent they the people that everyone stares at? im not stupid... people stare at my sister all the time and she's blind and she has artificial eyes... but i guess i grew up in a world where looks are everything and i wonder if i get this procedure done how much it will effect people getting to know me or that sort of thing. another thing is... i know matt says i am fine the way i am but i still think it would put a strain on our relationship and im really afraid he wouldnt want to be with me... its easy to say otherwise now but what of that sort of thing later? anyways... this has me just a little upset... i wouldnt mind input if anyone would be willing to share... but if you have something mean to say dont bother
