The lasik operation was finally over! Dr Tay was really professional and guided me through the whole surgery process. I thought I would have to wait quite long, but everything went really fast. The last check of eyesight, changing to surgical wear and explanation of the medication kit....all completed within half an hour. I was so nervous when I stepped into the surgical room without my glasses. During the operation, I held onto my crystal bracelet for courage (it was inside the surgical robe, as it need not be removed) and listened carefully to the Doctor's gentle and encouraging voice. The eyes blacked out during the cutting of the flaps. My right eye didn't feel anything, but I felt some cutting movement on my left eye. The 2nd part of the operation was a bit tough to endure, as after the blackout, the eyes were so teary, which made it really hard to focus on the lights. I'm glad that I made it through.
My eyes were teary and quite uncomfortable on my way back home. I couldn't really open my eyes and tears were dripping down my cheeks. Upon reaching home, I quickly popped a sleeping pill from the kit and try to get myself to sleep, but it was so hard to fall asleep with those tearing and stinging eyes. I felt like I was going blind, but thanks to all the well wishes I rec'd, I didn't. My left eye has two small circles of red clot on the white area, due to the suction of the bladeless technology. I can see without my glasses now, but it is still really hard to look at bright things for too long. The vision isn't that sharp yet, and I hope it will improve as days go by. Now, I'm typing with my eyes on the keyboard, as it gets quite blur and foggy when I look at the screen for too long....
I will be going for my 1st follow-up visit later in the afternoon and I hope Doctor will tell me that everything is fine.
