like a hawk

Yes, it’s official. I can see without specks now!! No more squirming my eyes to get a clear vision, no more searching for glasses in the morning as soon as I get up to get a view of who woke me up. No more expenses on different frames! I can see without an external aid now. I can see clearly without misidentifying people or rather ignoring them because I just cant see them.

But at what cost?

At tremendous pain!! (And of course 20 grand)

Who said the laser surgery wasn’t painful. It pains like hell. It feels like the sun right in front of and you not being able to blink because your eyes are strapped up. It feels like somebody playing with your eyeballs and fiddling around them, because someone actually is. It smells like something burning for those 15 or 16 seconds when the laser is being shot at you, because your cornea is actually burning. And it feels like a thousand micro pebbles in your eyes for the 6 hours after the operation because your cornea is adjusting itself to the new position. But after three days I think the pain was worth it. Although the vision is not extremely clear, it still smudges around lights but the doctors say that will go away with time. But yes as someone once said to me the best part is getting up in the morning and being able to see things as they are and where they are. Not to mention the different types of shades I can try now.
