Bill and Amanda saved for years to take a special trip for their 10th anniversary. Finally, here they were, basking in the white sand beaches and turquoise waters of the Maldives. On their first full day, they took a dive trip to see some of the most breathtaking underwater scenery in the world. It was all they’d dreamed of, until another diver accidentally bumped into Amanda underwater. The collision dislodged her mask, which filled with seawater and rinsed her contact lenses right into the ocean. She returned safely to the boat, but, unable to see well, spent the rest of the day sitting on board with the crew. That evening – wearing back-up glasses – she listened sadly while the other divers described colorful fish and stunning coral reefs. As soon as she and Bill returned home, she called to discuss getting LASIK surgery, so she’d never miss out on anything again simply because she needed prescription lenses to see it.
