its strange when you're laying there with your eye lid pryed open and when they slice your corona, its like a page turning ... first you can see then you're blind .... then you hear the machine clicking ...... less then 30 secs they sit you up and ask you to read the clock about 20 feet away

back in the day they used microkeratomes, meaning 'small cornea knives.' now they use lasers to cut the flap.Brasso wrote:

Don't let anyone go near your eyes with anything pointy or laser-like
Look into what job you might end up doing before, some won't let you do it if you have lasered eyes, but they will if you wear contacts.SEREMAKER wrote:
to get ready for the surgery you'll have to wear your glasses for 2 weeks prior of the surgery and if you're like me I wore contacts for 10 years before getting the surgery so wearing glasses for two weeks was something I forgot how it felt
get the surgery
then have someone drive you home and get a good nite sleep and everything should be fine in the morning
I am not kidding when I say it is the BEST money spent

To say it sucked is the epitome of understatement.

I have that done every eye exam (checks the pressure of your eye). Don't even notice it anymore.SEREMAKER wrote:
