Everything is clear to me now...

So i have finally done it; Lasik surgery,mostly sponsored by my mom and my bro while i fork out the rest.

Before, when i wake up and look outside my window, all i see is a blurry mess.




Ever since i had my Lasik surgery, everything is clear as day.




Fine, i don't have a nice landscape with trees that framed the sun but let's pretend I do okay? =D

I decided to go for Shinagawa Lasik Clinic where i was warmly welcomed by AMAZING staff and doctor.




Everyone was genuinely nice and always explaining every single step/procedure i was about to go through; from the Pre-Op, during the Op and Post-Op.As i am writing thing, i have already went for my 1 Day Post-Op and is going for my 1 Week Post-Op tomorrow.



I won't go into detail in the entire surgery but Lasik surgery is where an eye doctor create a cornea (lining of your eyeball) flap, goes 'tiu tiu tiu' (ok there's no 'tiu tiu' sound) with the laser and you will get almost perfect eyesight. Now, i said almost because every eye is different so achieving perfect eyesight maybe a tad too idealistic.


For my case, i have a thin cornea and my doctor, Mr Lee, said that i am lucky that i have low degrees on both eyes [R:525, L:425] so it's just enough for me to be eligible for Lasik and i will achieve 97% of perfect eyesight. I was not complaining since it was good enough for me, at least i can cross the road without my glasses.


Now, for those who are a little apprehensive about Lasik due to people who just don't know who to tell a story properly, it is NOT scary. Here are the common topics i get:



The Pain (during surgery):  
There is no pain. They will drop some numbing eye drops and come on, what kind of surgery involves pain during the operation? I'd say, a botched one!

The Pain (after surgery): 
I only encounter a slight tolerable burning sensation with tearing 1 hour after the surgery but it went away after i took my nap. That was the only pain i experienced.



The Burning Smell:
I admit, i was ready to smell of delicious cooked meat but seriously, there was hardly any smell. Perhaps a small whiff but it was gone the second time you tried to smell it.


Dry Eyes:
I was told this case is different to different people. Some may experience really dry eyes and some not at all. For me, It was more in the middle. I experienced some mild dryness; like when you stare too long at the computer.


After the surgery, i was given 1 bottle of eye drops for Anti-inflammatory, 1 bottle for Anti-bacterial, pills for pain (if any), for sleeping (if needed) and some tear drops for lubricant. I was also given plastic covers with tape to cover my eyes when i am sleeping just in case i might accidentally rub my eyes at night.




They even gave me paper instructions just in case i wasn't paying attention. haha Perhaps too amazed to know that i can see clearly despite of the hazy effect from the surgery to listen.



I have yet to know my current eye degree, perhaps tomorrow? One thing for sure, i can SEE (clearly)!!!

  8. ooh how much did it cost in the end? i've been thinking of lasik for a long long time but i never dared to in case something goes wrong..

  9. hsiwen: Cost me about 3K. Its best to go to well-established and certified clinics. They cost extra but nothing is important than the assurance of a good Lasik.

    Go for it, no regrets. ;)
