I had LASIK eye surgery on Wednesday of last week...which is something I've put off for almost 6 years! :) Mostly because of pregnancies...but no excuses now! I was in the clinic for about an hour and a half and in the procedure room for no more than 15 minutes. They spent a total of 20 seconds on my right eye and 15 seconds on my left eye "remodeling". SOOO Crazy! The worst part for me was laying in the chair and waiting for it to begin. The doctor did a great job keeping my mind distracted during the procedure...the Valium probably helped too! :) AND how lucky am I that I had my very own eye doctor with to "hold my hand"!?!? Not literally, but Perry was definitely an added comfort throughout the entire process!
I napped for a couple hours when I got home and when I woke up, I could see! It was clouded, but still better vision than I've had for over 20 years! I have not experienced any discomfort since the hour after the procedure; my eyes are dry, but drops help. I want to rub my eyes really bad...I don't know why though? Maybe because I'm told I can't? And I will continue to sleep with my shields for a few more days. I am also lucky I have eyebrows left...I learned after putting the shields on the first night that I should watch where I align the tape! YIKES! :)
My vision is slowly evening out - my left eye is extremely sharp and for me, beyond perfect! The right is a bit slower in the healing process, but is catching up with the left.
After my post-op exam, I said "OH...I forgot my camera!"
The optometrist kindly took Perry and I back in the op room and took our
picture by the laser machine! And don't I look pretty in the plastic shields!?!? Ha!
