when you spend so much time in the ocean, your eyes become like this. it’s just part of being happy i guess. my first eye surgery was a nightmare. my second one was another nightmare. and the third one was even more a nightmare. three nightmare surgeries in the past 12 years and hopefully never again.
this will probably be the most unhappiest you will ever see me. lonely and terrified.
up close, you can see it. i see it in so many surfers eyes and the only way to fix it is to get surgery. in Japan, they scrape it off, but in Hawaii, they cut it out so a totally different process. a $10,000 per eye process…
now, i don’t have red irritated eyes all day and all night long. was it worth it? i’d say definitely yes. thank goodness i have the best eye doctor in the world…
