Norm- Surgery Day!!!
Surgery Day:
I was so excited to get my Lasik I couldn't wait to get to the office! I wasn't really that nervous but they give you a little something anyway to help you relax. Then you sit on these really comfortable sofas as they wash your eyes and around them. The guy next to me promptly fell asleep and began snoring!
I got on the table fairly easily after they mark your eyes with what looked light a pencil. I have to say that was probably the scariest part, even though it didn't hurt at all.
Dr. Howerton came in and they closed off one eye and got the other one ready. They use a device to hold it open with some kind of tape, it was not painful at all. Then you look into a light it gets dark for a second and it's over! Took about 30 seconds to a minute. The worst part is when they rinse your eyes with water after. I could smell the laser burning too, not a pleasant smell but not a big deal either. They did the same for the other eye and it was over!
I put my goggles on and kept my eyes closed on the way home. When I got there I ate some lunch and took about a 4 hour nap. The drugs they gave me really helped me sleep. Upon waking I could already tell the difference in my sight. I could see the clock without glasses!! How great is this!
