Last week I had LASIK. My mom came up from San Diego to take care of me and enjoy – for once – the beautiful weather! I had a wonderful experience with the procedure at Casey Eye. I have to admit that I was quite nervous before doing it, but really, it wasn’t that bad. The worst part was when my first dose of pain meds wore off while I was sleeping afterward and I woke up feeling like I had been chopping onions – not bad at all! I had been nervous about the pressure people talked about during the portion where the flap is created (imagining it would feel like my eye would explode or something equally dramatic), but I actually didn’t even notice the pressure that much and it certainly didn’t hurt.
I’m enjoying having clear vision without having to deal with contacts or glasses, though I’ll be really happy when the light sensitivity goes away a bit more since it’s hard to drive much or stare at the computer for very long.
Glad that I no longer need to be jealous of all those people who had LASIK done before me!
