I had LASIK. Have excellent vision now, except near vision but I’m 45 and expected that.
Only regret is that they tested me beforehand for ability to make tears and I was at the lower end of acceptable. I now have a problem with dry eyes requiring 2-3 times daily use of eye drops.
Also I found the procedure traumatizing.
Also I found the procedure traumatizing.
How so? I’ve often thought about getting this done. What should I expect?
I found it fascinating, but I can see how some would be traumatized.
I can believe it was traumatizing, I would find it the same. I need it but I am not going to do it.
My eye doctor found a problem with the pressure in my eyes (a type of glaucoma), the drain was in danger of closing up. He said he had to punch a hole, with a laser to let the fluids drain out.
Wish I could remember the medical terms but I can’t. All went well but it just about scared me to death. If I had not known the doctor for 25 years and know him to be good and careful I would have run screaming out of there.
