Lasik...

I was on MC for 3 days.. Don't worry, I am not sick, just that I just went for Lasik... I though for a long time and finally went for it!

So how's my eye now or how's the lasik experience? It was hmmm.. Kinda... I don't really know how to explain.. Of cos, I am scare as risk is involve, esp my eyes...

I paid like 3k for the op.. I know its kinda expensive, of cos, for my eyes I rather pay slightly more for the safety..

So what are the steps? 1st-ly, they did a full eye check up for me to ensure that I am a suitable candidate for lasik.. Once done, the next appointment is made for the op...

They did the check once again and bring me to a room to cleanse my eyes, my hands and gown me with the operation clothings... They applied something sticky around my eye for the suction process.. The suction process takes 30secs as they use strong suction to force the eye open for 30sec each and i suppose they cut the cornea of the eye...

Then they bring me to a 2nd room to wait for a few mins for air bubbles to form under the flap before the apply laser to correct the degree of the eye. They put anesthesia eye drops to my eyes once again so that i won't feel a thing. I can see the doctor opening the flap of my cornea and apply laser to it... Smelled something burnt which i was told... It takes another 15 secs and its done...

However, probably i had sensitive eyes, therefore, i kept tearing and had difficulty opening my eyes... I had a bad headache and had difficulties going home.. Damn.. I felt so helpless on the first day and vomitted at night cos of the headache...

On the 2nd day, its getting better.. However, my eyes were bruised... which the doc says that its quite common..

Here's the 2nd day of my eye...
