Anyone here got eye laser surgery?

[renchfrieswith]

My eyes are pretty bad and I fucking hate glasses and lenses. It's expensive and also kinda scary, so I'm curious if anyone here has any experience with it.

It was probably the wrong window into which he wrote that. He probably thought he was typing in into a private chat.

I went with a friend who got it done. It was pretty quick, but you could smell... burning. He said it felt like rubber bands being snapped around his eyes, not that bad. He had a rough night sleeping but they give you something for that. It's about 5 years out from surgery and he's noticed his sight going downhill again, but not enough to require glasses.

Yeah, they give you steroidal eye drops that help speed healing.

When I got home, I went to sleep and when I woke up, it felt like I had about five eyelashes in my eyes. So I went back to sleep.

Next day I drove to my follow-up appointment. No problems.

I watched them do the procedure. I couldn't do it. The Clockwork Orange eyelid things freaked me out.

Oh no, I don't blame you. The place where I had it done had a closed-circuit television in the waiting room where you could watch.

Big. Mistake.

When I was on the table, I kept anticipating the laser/knife thing, since they only give you a local anesthetic (drops in your eyes).

I was so stiff on the table, so worried that if I flinched I would cause my own blindness, I stopped breathing.

So, there I am, on the table with my eye pried open, stiff as a board and the nurse says, "FlaFla, breathe."

so I start panting like a dog, immobile in fear and my eye pried open. I must've looked really attractive.

Took less than a minute or so for each eye.

For the TL;DR: Don't watch the surgery beforehand. It's not a big deal and it looks worse than it actually is. And it didn't hurt one bit.

LOL! Cheri

Yeah I'm ruined for it now. I should have never watched. It was pretty fast, and he said it didn't hurt. But still.. I watched

yea I had it done and that was the worst part is relaxing enough to get those fuckers in.

My eyes are good not, but I have noticed that my near vision is starting to go. Getting old sucks.

The procedure was easy and no pain, my issue was the flap they cut would not stay in place and had to go back under the scope to get it set again 2x. Finally the doc put in permeable contacts so that it would hold. It was touch and go there for a while. When I left the docs office all I could see was the worst fog storm you have ever been in. I sat up all night just slowly blinking my eyes and then i was fine the next day.

4 people at my work had it done and 3 of them ended up having to wear reading glasses

Reading glasses treat far-sightedness, which is unavoidable and happens with age.

Laser vision correction corrects near-sightedness, when you can't see things far away.

Correct. Laser surgery has nothing to do with far-sightedness.

why bother?

[Cheri]

why bother?

Because I can't drive without glasses. It's a real pain in the ass. I can see close up just fine.
