It was the happiest of days for radio presenter Ylenia Spiteri when she finally said a permanent goodbye to her glasses. She tells Adriana Bishop about the best 15 minutes of her life.
On a Thursday morning two weeks ago, Ylenia Spiteri woke up, reached over for her glasses on the bedside table and then smiled as she suddenly remembered she did not need them anymore. And that smile has not left her face since.
The day before, the 89.7 Bay radio presenter had finally seen a long-held dream come true, quite literally. After many years of dithering, Ylenia had undergone the SMILE Femtosecond Laser procedure at Saint James Eye Clinic to correct her eyesight and she immediately declared “it was totally worth it”.
