I've tried to make my situation funnier.
Dude.man! Thats awesome! So glad it turned out well haha. I can't believe you had to be awake for the surgery, thats crazy. Some brave shit you just did Jak. How long did it take?
Less...than...5...minutes.
Wowzers! I can't believe they didn't put you out for that...!
I assume the local anesthesia would inhibit the natural 'twitchy' movements in your eyes-- I can't imagine the difficulty of purposefully NOT MOVING your eyes for so long-- especially with someone poking and prodding around for the whole procedure!
I'm glad you opted for the more contemporary versions of this surgery...!
lol I've heard from some elderly relatives that it used to be WAY worse. D:
P.S: My friend got the same thing done and ended up having to wear sunglasses indoors because his eyes were overly sensitive to light for a while (as a result of recovery) so his theme song was "I wear my sunglasses at night". haha
There is nothing wrong with wearing glasses indoors.
Though I suspect your friend will eventually won't need those glasses.
The laser essentially burns through the eye so light better reaches the cornea.
So it's like seeing properly for the first time ever.
I was actually thinking about getting Lasik for a while but decided I'll save it as a final way out, if nothing else works. Just being near-sighted isn't reason enough; there's still time to improve vision through exercise. I just need to get out more.
It seems like a scary procedure though. I know my dad had his eyes operated for glaucoma (Google translate, so I hope that's the right medical term for it), and he could see everything they did, cutting his lens open, seeing it back together, etcetc. It's scary imagining how just moving your head a bit or involuntarily moving your eye could cause them do make an error. A neighbor actually went blind in one eye from eye surgery so... there's definitely risks involved. Glad to hear it worked out for you though. Or I should say, congrats, on being able to see the world as it's meant to be seen!
How long did the procedure take btw?
They do give you a relaxation pill. That 'does' help a bit.
So long as you have the self-control to stay still, you don't have to force your eyes open. There are clamps and suction devices and numbing drops.
See if you are a candidate.
My procedure took less than 5 minutes.

When do you back for a follow up exam? Wow glad to hear the initial effects are solid :)
...now you could wear a monocle o.Q How much per eye, if I may ask?

I'm not saying how much my procedure costed.
But most 'good' places charge well over $4000 dollars.
But again, if you are considering this surgery, make extra extra sure you do your research.
