be sure to go for all your follow ups -
I have to put in eye drops in the mornings when I get up.. other than that no dryness.
And I dont have any more star bursts than I did with lenses in.
LOVE my new Eyesite!
Yea, the smell of burning tissue - that was the worst of it.
That and my 2nd surgery.. yes I had it done twice.
I was pretty much blind and had an astigmatism.
Numerous prelim. tests so the computer knew just how much to take.
Told Doc to cut short of perfect.. since it was so drastic of a removal.
So after first surgery I had -.5 in my right eye and -1.5 in my left.
Wore glasses with a corrective lens on the left and window glass on the right for a few months that summer.
then once i was all healed up, had the 2nd surgery.. just on the left eye.
At this point it was a very minor removal, but hurt 100 times more than the first time. (had to re-slice my eye open. yea!
Does wig ya out when you totally loose vision during it as they are pulling the flap off and such. But I was very calm and knew Doc was gonna take care of me.
Now I have perfect vision in my left eye and the -.5 in the right.. easy to see the TV, oncoming t raffic, the computer, and read a book.
First time in 30 years I've had perfect vision -
Ran me $899 an eye.
