So it has been 48 hours since my Lasik eye surgery. I can see perfectly clear. I went the next day for my check up to see if everything was healing properly and was told I had better than 20/20 vision.. It hadn't even been 24 hours since the surgery! How amazing is that! Before I had the surgery, the surgeon asked me about the clock on the wall. I couldn't even tell there was a clock on the wall, that's how bad my eye sight was. (-6.00 in right eye and -7.00 in right.) Immediately after the surgery he asked me once more about the clock. I could see the clock and even see what time it was. It was amazing and surreal that 15 minutes changed my entire life. I walked out of the room, glasses in my hand and a massive smile on my face. The procedure set me back ?3,500 roughly. It is the best money I have ever spent in my life. It cost a lot for me because my eyesight WAS so bad. So the only thing I could feel was them putting eye drops in (the eye drops make your eyes numb) then I felt quite a lot of pressure (I'm being honest here) which was when they were putting the eyelid separator on in my eye to prevent me from blinking. From then on I felt nothing. The surgical team told me what they were doing every step of the way, from putting drops in, to creating the corneal flap (everything goes dark for about 5 seconds), to letting the laser do it's work. They made me at ease and made me comfortable. About 15 minutes after I had left the surgery suite I started to feel stinging in my eyes which lasted about 1/2 hours. I took some Nurofen Express to head it off at the past and after 2 hours I felt no pain at all, and haven't since that moment. All I feel now is really dry eyes from time to time which is prevented by using regular drops (3 different types) that Optical Express provide you with which are for anti-inflammatory, anti-infection and one for dry eyes. I cannot say thank you enough to Optical Express right from the get go. Thank you thank you thank you!! (Ps; it was so good, even my sister has booked to have it done in a months time!!) Don't be scared, you won't feel a thing, I promise you that!
