LASIK surgery

For all of those who are thinking about I would highly recommend it! I had the procedure done yesterday. It was very easy and simple! Here is the whole story.... I went in for the initial consultation, watched some video's on how it works, and what the pro's and con's are of it. I then went back the next week, for the pre-op, it was a normal eye exam, with a few extra tests and pictures of the eye. It was very interesting to see the pictures of my eyes all up close and personal. The next step is preparing for the surgery, no contacts or make up for 3 days before procedure. The morning of the procedure I got to the office, they greeted me with a Valium, and then I waiting.. I walked back into the exam room, laid down, and got all comfy.. They calibrated the laser machine, which helped get used to the sound you will here. They covered my left eye, and put numbing drops in my right eye, and propped it open. They then had me stare at a green light, and lined the laser up nice and straight to my eye. Then comes the suction cup to the eye, it was strange feeling and uncomfortable, then there is the sound it makes, that is the scariest sound... it is a slicing sound, yes this is them cutting the flap of your eye open, but you dont feel it, just hear the buzzing of it. The suction comes off, you keep staring at green light, red light moves around lasering your eyes, this last all of 30 seconds to a minute. when that is over, the doctor has a small spongy thing on a stick, you watch her (yes you can see it happening) place the flap back in place, and rub some ointment onto your eye. She waits another 30 seconds to a minute for flap to seal into place (enough you wont blink it out of place). puts more drops in to eye. you then close that eye, and start with the left. The only difference is the suction part of procedure is more intense for the second eye, the nurse held my arm, but I still did a lil twitch. After the doc is done with the second eye, you slowly get up and go to another room. In that room the doc looks at your eyes, makes sure it looks good, (at this point the numbing starts to wear of and your eyes start to itch). The nurse gave me 4 different drops and explained how to use them all. one you use just twice, one for the nap when you get home and once before bed that night. the lubricating drops you put in every hour for 24 hours if your awake. The other 2, an antibiotic and a steroid (to promote quick healing) you do 4 times a day for 7 days. they also give you sunglasses to wear. My vision was blurry, but I could see better then I could without glasses the day before. It just looked like I was looking thru a fish tank. Now, my suggestion get home as quick as you can. I had a 2 hour horrible drive home. My eyes became very itchy, and being in the sun (in the car) made it a whole lot worse, they sun glasses helped, but it wasnt until I got home that I could keep my eyes open for more then 3-5 seconds. I took my nap, and when I woke up every thing was great! Very little blurring, my vision was great, with a few fuzzy or blurry spits here and there. I was able to drive about 7 hours after the procedure. I still rested and didnt do anything. The next day (today) I went to work for a few hours, then off to the post op.. They tested my vision and I am seeing at a 20/20 already. I still have a few lil itchy moments thru out the day, but they said that could be for the next month, and my vision may even improve as well in the next month. Ill let you all know how my next week is..
