LASIK Part I.
26-Oct-08
Last Friday, I had LASIK surgery (today is Sunday evening). The past two days I’ve been functioning in a relatively normal manner, sans glasses. My eyesight so far is somewhere between good and excellent, disregarding some minor halos around lights at night. It varies a little, but otherwise is everything I could expect. I can drive at night with no issues. I hope things continue on this track, because seeing without corrective lenses is quite nice.
I’m not really up to writing a full description of the process right now, but suffice it to say I’m happy with the results so far. The biggest irritation so far has been a fair number of subconjunctival hemorrhages (warning, creepy image) in my left eye and a little bit in my right. It’s pretty harmless, but looks absolutely creepy. Some people I’ve been around have also commented on how often I’ve been going through eye drops as something that would be annoying to them, but thus far it hasn’t bothered me much. The drops do a lot to promote the healing process, maintain comfort, and ensure that there aren’t complications, so I’m quite happy to use them as much as the doctor recommends.
