Day of lasik
-I thought I wasn't afraid but I had nightmares of my doctor clicking at the lasik machine in a vigorous gamer style, waking me up numerous times =.=
-Reported at the clinic at 11am and signed the papers! :000
-Got dressed in scrubs
The operation was quite a cool experience! I stumbled into the operating theatre (no specs), laid down and saw the bright fluorescent lights above me.
Dr Natasha was very kind and reassuring and told me everything that was going to happen in advance.
My bed (?) was swiveled under the first machine for the cornea-flap-cutting part. Shockingly for me, the "slight pressure" that people use to describe this experience actually meant "high pressure". I literally had to clench my teeth cause it was uncomfortable!!
Thankfully, that ordeal ended quickly and I was swiveled to another machine for the cornea-lasering part! My flap was opened and I was told to stare at an orange dot, but, I think, because of my super high myopia (which makes things look "spread out"), the orange "dot" literally looked as big as an orange! Lol.
The operation ended in around 15 min and Dr Natasha looked into my eyes with a microscope and said that the flaps are well in place! :)
I spent the day sleeping and dripping eye drops every 2 hours! Eyes felt sore! And they really stung and teared when I woke up to watch my 9pm channel 8 show! :(
Day 2 to 5
Eyes felt really good in this period of time! I just couldn't strain them. Yup that's all! Suffering only lasted a day!
Conclusion
So far so good! I'm happy with my eyes so far! Praying that my review on Friday will show that I had a perfect correction!
/edit:
1 week Post-op review shows that I have perfect eyesight now! But my eyes will get blurry when they are dry (and will be dry for the next 4 months), and I'll be dripping eyedrops all through school :0 Thank God for the good outcome!
Schools re opening in 3 days. Time to pull up my socks!
