Default Re: Damn, I need some lasek for my eyes

With Lasik, there's barely any recovery time.

I laid back in the chair, they lasered each eye for 15 seconds each. I sat back up and I could see. Literally.

The first exam where they determine your eligibility took about an hour. The time in the office for surgery took about a half hour, but I was only in the chair about 5 minutes.

Recovery was very fast. There's no pain, but your eyes feel itchy and you can't scratch them. They want you to keep your eyes closed for the next few hours after the surgery, to help the corneal flap to heal. You have to take eye drops for a couple of weeks, and then go in for a follow up exam.

It did not affect my close vision at all, I could see fine close up before and still can. My distance vision is perfect, I have had zero side effects.
