I bet you didn't know that I have struggled with my eye sight for years.

It started in high school, when it became difficult for me to see the chalkboard in class. I never wanted to wear contacts or glasses, so I have just kind of dealt with it! I got glasses, but never wore them.

I am getting lasik eye surgery soon and I'm sooo scared! Have any of you done it?

Check out these weird tests they make you do to make sure you are a good candidate. They check your tear production by putting these paper sticks in your eyes! It's soooo freaky!

I am doing my procedure with Dr. Robert Maloney, by the way.

good luck with everything Kimmy!!!!

I've never had lasik eye surgery before but I've only heard good things about it! But I must say... even with those tear sticks in your eyes, you still look absolutely gorgeous!

Hope it goes well!
:)

kim ull b fine dont b scared....luv ya

nup...looks freakish! lol...um i seriously need to get my eyesight checked though cos i have problems seeing the whiteboard!!

I had it done Kim and I went from legally blind to 20/10! Its the best investment Ive made in a while. I love you Kim!

Good luck Kim with the surgery. Dony worry piece of cake, both my sis and bro got this done, and they can see real good with no difficulties, of course you need to give it time after sugery.

best of lucky hunny... hope it goes well. i have glasses but wear contacts when i am out for a night out. take care gorgeous, xxx

"Eyesight" is one word, you goat-butted hooker.

i hope you lose your sight.

I started wearing glasses in the 2nd grade! Every time I got new glasses I would toss them in the trash, so now that I am older I really need them! I'm getting married in April next year and do not know what to do, should I deal with it & wear my glasses throughout the reception so that I see who is coming to greet me or should I try & get the surgery? HELP!

Hope everything goes well, my manager had it done she had no pain but her vision was blurry for a few days.

i'd be scared silly too! i have horrible vision but i hate wearing glasses and contacts also! best of luck<3 it'll be worth it :o)

some ppl have too much time on their hands :[ why waste time coming here if you have nothing but hate?

Dear Kim,
I read about you deciding to have Lasik eye surgery, I haven't had it, but I do know plenty of people who have, and they are really happy with the results and didn't know why they waited so long. I wish you well and hope that everything turns out okay. Please let us know how it went when you are able. Love and Best wishes go your way. Stay well.

Kim-
don't worry too much! you're in the hands of professionals who do it all the time. best of luck!

Kim my sis just had it done and lust like you she was scared and thinking of what could go wrong but nothing did and u will be fine too doll be strong muahhh!

Hey Kim.

I actually just had Lasik done last week. I was really nervous at first, but it literally takes less than 10 minutes. Once you get there, they will give you some medicine to calm your nerves. After your calm, they take you in for the procedure. The procedure isn't what you should be worried about... thats the easy part! The hard part is the post-op work. Like remembering not to rub your eyes and stuff like that. Good Luck!

Hey kim, I also have been struggling with my eye sight for years, I used to be scared of wearing glasses in class because the kids used to make fun of me. My teacher used to make me put on my glasses because I couldn't see the chalkboard. I never wore contacts because I only need it for reading and to see the chalk board. I never had surgery done because I was too scared. But let me know how ur go and I might get mine done. Good luck kim, u r very brave person. Stay strong and I will pray for u , okay girl luv u kim

Love always,
Yolanda

XOXO

Don't be scared honey. My mom had the lasik eye surgery also recently. She said that it doesn't hurt at all, all you feel is obviously some movement on your eyes. But they do the procedure pretty fast. If Jessica Simpson did it, so can you girly. Hope it all goes well!

xoxo

I had to have suregery too. It's not that bad. You will be fine!

That's a major procedure. I saw on TV where this lady had it done & somehow some abnormal cells grew over her eye & she became blind in that eye. I personally would never do it just b/c its your EYES....not your boobs, etc. If something goes wrong, you're screwed. I'd rather stick to contacts. They make some that are really comfortable that you cant even feel.

GOOD LUCK!!! hope everything turns out fine for U!

does anyone know the approximate price of getting it done?
thanks

Hey Kim! My dad had lasik eye surgery done a couple of years ago, and he is so glad he got it done! He used to have really really bad vision and now he has very good vision! He is so happy he got it done! Good luck!!

Kim,

I haven't had eye surgery yet but am considering since I wear contacts and glasses. I will wait until you have your surgery to see what you have to say about it.

Kim,

Do you have any advice on budgeting money or getting out of debt? I would love some advice from you.

Thanks,
Donna

Hey Kim, best of luck on the surgery! May God be with you.

Hey Kim,

My husband got the surgery done as well a little while back. Don't worry you will be fine. It's easy and quick. They will give you meds to relax, and you will pretty much need to stay out of the light for the first couple of days because it will bother you. You should clear up the schedule so you can sleep that entire day too.

You go girl!

Kim - I love that you posted these pics. Shows that you're so down to earth :) Good luck with the surgery.... Keep us posted!

xox,
Farhana

Hi!!

No, I haven't had lasik. I wore contacts for many years. I mainly use glasses now. I never liked wearing glasses. I don't like the way they feel or look. However, recently I found a pair of designer frames that are really fashionable. I get a lot of compliments on them now:) I think I started a new trend at work...Many people at work have copied me and gotten similar looking ones:)

Good luck with the lasik. I'm sure it will be fine.

Take care!
:) :) :) :)

You know that movie with VAL KILMER: "AT FIRST SIGHT" well if everything goes wrong have my people call your people! I wanna do "AT FIRST SIGHT 2"

When was the last time you had s3x? He fckd your EYES OUT! hahahahaha

Hey Kim,

This is Justin from the Pheonix to LA flight the other night, remember??? I was in the orange hoodie and black hat sitting right across from you in the waiting room....I hope this is really gets to you..... but it was great meeting you the other night.. that was insane running around like that to make a flight!!!! I hope the laser surgery went well and I hope you got up in time for the taping haha.... Anyway, there is so much stuff I wanted to tell you in person but I got soo shy. I live in NY now and I know that I have it in me to work with talent either doing events or at an agency and that is honestly my dream. I KNOW that if there is any chance of this happening for me I have to take risks and go out on a limb and just ask for help even though we only met for a few hours.... I just figured there is no better person to ask.....I'm sure you get this all the time from people you dont even know but I know that I have this in me.

my # is (516) 315-5234 and my email is justin.keeperman@gmail.com I am seriously willing to take any chance it takes, move anywhere.....
so if there is anything at all you can do to help me get to the next step.. you know anyone that wants a real go- getter who is willing to do anything/everything - -- thats me

Thanks Kim!!!

Hey Kim! I had the PRK procedure because my cornea was too thin for the normal procedure. It is a much more evasive surgery where they scrape the top layer off your eye, so needless to say, my recovery was a little rough. BUT, I have heard that in most cases this method is not necessary and recovery is quick. Even with my rough recovery, I am still SO glad I have it. I have superwoman vision and could read the bottom line on the eye chart! Best of luck!

Kim,
I had Lasik surgery back in November of '07 and OMG it's so amazing! I currently have 21/20 vision. Don't be scared but, definitely take a Valium beforehand (SERIOUSLY! lol). The scariest part is when everything goes dark and you feel like you're blind but then it kinda looks like you're looking through Vasoline! Good luck! I recommend Lasik to everyone it's AMAZING!

xoxo,
dannii

I hope it goes well for you. Just a quick question though, if your eyesight was so bad why did you drive without your glasses on? I say you many times on TMZ and on your reality show driving around without glasses on. Not safe for you or for others on the road. Safety before fashion !And how did you manage to get your make-up looking so perfect if your eyesight was so bad?

Kim!

I had the same test done w/ those strips stuck in my eyes & I remember it stung a bit.

Good luck w/ the surgery. I need it too but maybe in the future.

oh and Im glad klhoe made a blog! shes the funnest of you 3 sisters. your the most boring when it comes to interviews etc.

:)

doesnt the makeup get in the way.. i would be uncomfortable lol

I know how they do that procedure and it is sooo freaky but I heard it's pretty quick! Yay for no contacts and glasses!!!!

I've been wanting to ask this for a while now and never came around to do it... seeing this is the subject of Sight. haha i figured i can throw this question in there.


I see you rock alot of avaitors. I have a big noggin.. haha... and big glasses are the only thing i can rock. so i was wondering if you have any kind of style, type, brands, website.. anything where u can direct me to some sunglasses that look like yours. cuz girllll you and your sisters got some cute haterblockers

<3 love always,
Erika Jay.

HEY KIM! I love you and your show. Lasik eye surgey has known to be kinda scary! Im sending you positive energy your way! I hope everything turns out GREAT!

love ya!

dontttt worry,your going to be fine:)

i think you would look great with glasses!!!!!!!!!

do u miind uploading some pics with you wearing ur glasses???

i think you would still loook beautiful like you alredy are.

I wear contacts and glasses (at differen times of course! haha) and I always think about getting Lasik done but I am so freaked out.

PLEASE give us updates and let us know if it hurts at all, or how it feels when they are actually doing it (i know they like hold your eyelids open and put some plastic thing over them it looks so freaky!!). I would just love to hear first hand how you deal with it Kim :)

Thanks so much!

Best Wishes

I had lasik about 2 years ago. I did great with it, my vision is now 20/20. You have to put some yucky drops in for a couple weeks, and your eyes are super dry, but that is the worst part. It is the best thing I ever did. You'll be fine.

hi kim


ouch that paper thing... gives me the creeps! does it hurt? hope you get the all clear to go ahead with surgery.


stay beautiful

kara xxx

(thank you for posting the extra steps for the smokey eye make up tutorial)

Oh, and one last thing. I know you love your make-up. But, it is very important to not where make up ( for up to 2 weeks) after the surgery. You don't want to risk infection or moving the corneal 'flap'.

No i have not done it, i actually don't need it thank God! However my sister has been looking into doing it because she has difficulty with her eye sight as well.
I pray that it all goes well.

Talking of surgery Kim – what is the name of your plastic surgeon? He has done an amazing job of breast and butt implants!!!

Hey Kim I hadt it done about 4 years ago. I love it. You don't need to worry about anything..Good luck!

KIMMIE! i love love LOVE you. i JUST had lasik eye surgery a month ago and it's the best decision i've ever made! it's terrifying to think about the procedure but the surgery itself was SO quick and painless - not terrifying at all! good luck!!

good luck !

hi, kim, gorgeous, you'll be fine ... lasic is very routine surgery and you'll be absolutely fine ^_^ .... luv ya, honeybunz ... ^_^

oh wow. i'm kind of in the same boat as you. i also have bad eye sight but i don't wear contacts or glasses unless i'm driving. good luck to you and i hope reggie's there to support you. lovin the eye look in these pics by the way.

hey kim, surgery is really scary thing to do, cuz u dont know the outcome, but i know everything will go smootly, so dont worry. its EYE surgery and its been done many times, ure not going under any anesthesia etc for complications/risks. i too suffer from a bad eye sight..i have contacts and reading glasses but i never wear it, contacts make me drowsy for some reason..ne way, good luck with your surgery. im alwasy worried about going for surgery, but a cosmetic one. AHH anesthesia freaks me out!

girl, if u are going to an eye surgeon, make sure u dont go there with full eye make up like eye shadow and masacara!

Piece of cake, a few minutes and it’ll be all over! My mom got Lasik eye surgery and she’s doing just fine. But you got to rest your eyes for a while after surgery!

Good luck Kim =)

Hi Kim -

I had Lasik Surgery but had it done in Canada because it was more affordable for me plus that is where these types of procedures started. I did a lot of research before I went. It was very nerve wrecking but I'm so happy I got it done. I had very bad eye sight as well and now I don't have to worry about putting in contacts everyday. I do have to admit though that when they did the procedure, they burnt off a layer of your cornea so it smells like burnt hair for a few minutes. That kind of freaked me out but the whole procedure lasted about 10 minutes. It is so worth it though. Good luck with everything! You won't regret it!

i'll pray 4 you,good luck my god bless you

Hi Kim,
I believe its ok to wear reading glasses. You probably look Cool and sexy wearing them.
Please update us after the surgery Kim.
Just Pray Ok?
Take Care and God Bless :-)
I love the pics you are so gorgeous.

Hi Kim

I wear glasses and contacts.It takes time to get used to,but I've been wearing them since I was in grade 4.Yes,I know I was a nerd......
But as the years went it became easier.

Hope it works out good for you.
So you actually are not perfect,hey?? Just joking..

xoxo

Hey Kim I think you should put that blue dress you wore to the Jimmy Kimbell show on Ebay..i wanna buy it sooo bad! What size it it..I def think it would look great on me..not as good as one you, but you knw:)

I got this procedure done! Best thing I ever did! It was a little painful a few hours after the surgery but that's it! You have to sleep with funny things on for a few nights! My eye sight keeps getting better. It improves over time! It's amazing to be be able to wake up in the morning and see your alarm clock! LOL!

Good luck with the surgery!!! ^_^

Hey Kim,
My cousin had eye surgery and she was very scared at first also but after the surgery she was sooo happy cus her eye's didnt bother her anymore. She was getting these crasy headaches before the surgery. I hope everything goes good girl and keep us posted. Take care Kim.

Kim - You are HAVING eye surgery. You're not getting anything (well, better eyesight). You will be judged on the way you speak/write. Luv ya.

Well kim, I work with an ophthalmologist who performs lasik eye surgery's and when patients come in post surgery they actually say it was not bad at all, no pain or discomforts. Im actually in the works of getting lasik soon! So you'll be fine! good luck!

your eye make-up is beautiful in those photos. what eyeshadows and other eye make-up ru wearing???

Kim I wish you the best with your eye surgery. I'm sure you will be fine and the better to see Reggie with your new vision. Can he look any more handsome. lol

Hi Kim,

Kim doll,
Everything will be fine, dont worry it won't hurt a bit and if it does it won't last that long...take it easy and keep being fabulous.

p.s remove these haters serio!

love your fan

Hi Kim, I hope the procedure goes well for you. I had two eye operations when I was under 5 to correct my vision (back before there was lazer) and currently wear glasses with my eyesight getting worse and worse, but I'm too scared to get lazer. I'm eager to hear how your results are. I guess a few years ago someone told me some bad stories and side effects of the procedures that scared me into trying it, but from the feedback above most have only but positive things to say about it. Good luck :)

Hey Kim I just had it done and it doesn't really just itches the first few days. But by the third day I was straight. Good luck on it.

o my gosh.... i wear glasses and i am going to get the same surgery in one year. i had no freakin idea that you had eye trouble. gosh u are soo lucky that you are going to get ur eyes fixed. i wish you all the best when you get the surgery. God will make it easy for you.

Hey kim,
Good luck with your eye surgery, I hope everything goes good!! Your very beautiful...be strong it'll be over before you know it.
muah!

Hey Kim=)

Good luck with the eye surgery! Dont be scared,im sure it will a successful surgery and itll be over before you know it!=)

Love

T=)

Ive done it! Its amazing!! Your gonna love waking up and seeing clearly! Its the best thing ever! Good luck :-)

Kimmie,

You'll be fine...I had it done 3 years ago and it was the best surgery I ever went through. ( I do have a little issue with night driving, but who cares...still NOT wearing glasses...at 35 years old!). My sister also had it done a year ago and another success story!

PS - LOVE Khole's blog...you gals are awesome!

Hey Kim... everything will be fine with the procedure. I know your family is 100% supportive and will be there with throughout the whole thing with...

HEY YOUR IN THE BEST HANDS KIM DONT WORRY GIRL ITS GOING TO BE FINE GOOD LUCK!!!! LOVE YA!!!

Lasik surgery is a piece of cake! I had it done a couple of years ago and it was the best thing ever!! They gave me a valium before the surgery which really made me relax. They sit you in a chair, you hear some noises, it gets blurry then BAM, it's done. The first thing they did was sit me up and say read the clock, and I could. Afterwards they give me a nice little care package and the first night I had to sleep with patches on both eyes, just so I wouldn't scratch them. They also gave me pain pills, which came in handy the next day. It wasn't your typical pain, it felt more like sand in the eye, but by the second day, I was good to do. I can see clearly now, and it still surprises me when I wake up in the middle of the night and can see what time it is! You'll be fine, your a soldier! GOOD LUCK!

HEY DOLL

YOU LOOK GORGEOUSSSSSSS IN ALL OF THESE PICS!!! ONE OF MY FRIENDS HAD IT DONE SHE IS JUST FINE! HEY DOLL YOU ARE GOING TO BE OK!

FASHIONABLY YOURSSSSSS

Hey Kim... I just had lasik done in January and it wasn't bad at all. I am 22 and I was pretty nervous, but they talked me through everything while they were doing it. It only took about 15 minutes total and then I walked out of the room, put on these not so fabulous 400UV sunglasses and walked out the door. Just try your best to stay away from light right after surgery because your eyes are soooo dilated that it hurts to look at any form of light. By the next day I was nearly 20/20. Now, 7 months later... I have better than 20/20 vision. It is by far the best thing I have ever done. Wait until you wake up in the middle of the night and you can see the alarm clock clear... it is one of the craziest feelings in the world.

I hope this helps!

Desde chile te mando muchos saludos soy fanatica tuya, y veo tu programa donde estas con tu familia, lo que mas me gusta es tu pelo.... eres muy simpatica saludos y te veo todas las semanas en E!. espero que sepas donde queda chile jajaja..

Hi babe

Lasik is great. Try not to be scared. No one who has had it done ever regretted it. Heaps of people end up with perfect 20/20 vision afterwards. I would do it except I can't really afford it. It costs around $5000 here in New Zealand - not sure what sort of money it costs to get done in the States.

Also, love you soooo much, but please don't wear those hoops again! White gold or silver is way better on you than those yellow brassy gold ones.

Love you girl

Kim, I saw this headline that you are having LASIK through a news alert I get. I know the industry VERY WELL and although Dr. Maloney is a good surgeon I would strongly suggest you go see Dr. Manger in Laguna Hills (he's at Saddleback Eye Center). He is the TOP surgeon on the West Coast and has done more procedures than anyone else in the country next to a surgeon in Dallas.

Trust me, he is one of the best and you certainly want the best for your LASIK procedure. Just a suggestion.

I have wanted Lasik for a few years but am so afraid of it! I am soooo sick of my contact lenses. My sister had great results, but I am still chicken! Good luck and let us know how everything turns out!

omg lardy butt you cant even go to the optometrist w/o make up?? you are so full of urself, NO EYE MAKE UP dumb armenian haha
