I got Lasik Laser Eye Surgery yesterday!

I am now reading things on my comp and typing this with NO GLASSES! Wootness extreme!

The surgery itself was very quick, just the waiting was making me nervous. The first part was the worst, where I paniced in the room as my vision went totaly blank for a moment while the doctor held my eyeball in one spot. I learned that when your eye is completely 100% still, you cannot see a thing. I also learned that I hate speculums. (That metal thing that holds your eye apart so you can't blink.) The etching of the corneal flap itself was quick, but they had to readjust my eye once for each eye. Yay for panic attacks and hyperventilation.

After that though, the actual laser surgery part was easy. I was still pretty freaked out (I just get that way with any surgery thingies) but it wasn't as bad as the first room. Even the smell of burning as the laser went over my eyeball didn't bother me. It was super quick too, and I could already see ten times better as soon as it was done!

The doctor said I was perfectly co-operative and my surgery went perfect, even though I was scared at the time. My corneal flaps healed over perfectly smooth too, I found out this morning when my protective contact lense was taken off and they examined my vision. I can now see 20/20 and 20/15 already, and my vision is only going to improve over the following weeks/months, while the nerves around my tear ducts heal and my eyes recover fully.

I also got some brand new polarised sunglasses from the place and they are the awsome. It's been SO long since I got to wear real sunglasses!

The only 'hassel' if you can call it that, is the eye drops I need to take, but that's no big deal and I feel soooo much better about myself. I did it all by myself, made the appointment made the decisions and I'm paying for it with my own earned money.

I did it for myself, by myself and I feel GREAT. My wonderful man of awsome was by my side the whole time too and took precious time out of his sleep schedual to take me to and from the center. *squee and love*

He is proud of me.

So yesh, I definitely recommend this place to anyone who's considering Lasik. It's the number one place to go with the number one surgeon. Apparently people come literally from all over the world to go here and see Dr Menger. Schedual you're free lasik eye exame and you'll find out just how awsome this place is and how much of a fantastic decision you'd make by going there.

lol I sound like the commercial. But I'm so serious, this place lives up to its standards of being number one with the best surgeon and the best equipment, and the best staff. They were so kind and patient with me and I was never left alone to worry about anything. I can hardly believe I am seeing the world without glasses. I'm just not going to get over how good this makes me feel.
