My new eyeballz

So it's almost been 2 weeks since I had my LASIK done...and I'm finally starting to get used to the fact that I don't have to deal with contacts anymore. Not that I really ever had any major issues with my contacts...after all, they let me see. It's so strange to wake up in the middle of the night or in the morning and be able to just see! The surgery...ahem, procedure...lasted all of maybe 5-10 minutes. It was the fastest $6K I've ever spent!
My appointment was at 1pm and as I walked in, I was greeted with a smile and a Valium. Then, my eyes were checked again to make sure my prescription hadn't changed any, a bunch of drops and numbing something or other were placed into my eyes and then I was escorted to Phase 1 of the procedure. This lasted all of about a minute per eye and this is where there was some pressure on the eye as they created the flap. I then had to be escorted to Phase 2 as I couldn't see a thing at this point. I could see just on the outer edge of my eye but in the middle it was like a grey sticker was placed there. This caused me just a slight bit of panic because you sort of think, holy shit, what if I can't ever see again?? Luckily this is all normal. Then, in Phase 2 they reshape the cornea. While I was told to look at the flashing green light...and somewhat enjoying my hallucinatory "visions"...I wasn't prepared for the burning hair smell as the laser did its thing on my eyeball. However, this only lasted maybe 30 seconds per eye and then I was done! They put some lovely patches over my eyes and told me to keep my eyes closed while I waited for my hubby to pick me up. I waited for a few minutes and at 1:40pm Jim and I were outta there! The best part was getting to go home and take a 3 hour nap since I had to keep my eyes closed for the first 4 hours...whens the last time I got to take a nap...much less a 3 hour nap?? It was heavenly. For the next week I had to put all sorts of drops in my eyes 4x a day. I am now just putting in rewetting drops as needed. As for my vision?? Well, the first couple of days, my vision was excellent though because of the swelling, you feel like you have dirty contacts on. That feeling can last up to a month they say but each day has been getting better. Since I sit in front of a computer all day, my eyes get tired by the end of the day but again, that is all normal and in a couple more weeks my eyes should be feeling really good. My eye checkups have all been good, my eyes are healing as they should. I will have another checkup at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and a year. All in all, I LOVE my new eyeballz!! Thank you Pacific Vision Institute for doing your job so well, and THANK YOU to my wonderful husband for encouraging me to finally just go for it!! :)
