I got my right eye (the dominant eye) done on the 30th. They had a hard time getting my eye to dilate, so they ended up putting in like 20 drops in my eye. This is more than most people get.
They use a device to pry open your eye and keep it open. It feels like a giant lens holding your eyelids back. Then they put something over my eye and you feel some pressure for about 20 seconds. This is where they cut the top layer of your lens off. It only feels like pressure not painful. Next they take a little soft-ended tool and pull back the lens, zap your eye with the laser for about 30 seconds, and flip the lens back over. He put a “bandage” clear contact lens over my eye and took the “eye opener” out of my eye. That was really it.
Once they were done with the eye drops, the whole thing was over in 5 minutes. Some discomfort, but if you relax, there was no pain.
The next day I went back and they took out the contact and my incision was healed. That was only 22 hours later. I am supposed to put drops in for 7 days and wear sunglasses outside for the next month. SUNGLASSES YEAH! I have had glasses since I was 6-9 months old. I am getting me some OAKLEYS!!!!
My eye is still a little dilated so no clear results yet, but I am hoping it will clear up later today. Tuesday is the other eye. I will take questions and try to help answer if I can.
