RE: Eye surgery - anyone with experience?

in #blog8 years ago

A former girlfriend had always work glasses or contact lenses. She was tired of the irritations that contacts caused her and she did not like wearing glasses outside of home. So she thoroughly researched laser correction. She like you was very nervous about doing it, because there are some cases where it does not work out. However, after doing so much research, what she concluded, is that the success is largely to do with the clinic and their approach. Now this is , I guess eight years or more ago now. So I do not remember what helped her choose the clinic.

So the fateful day arrived, and I went with her to the clinic. The whole thing was over much quicker than what I expected. When she came out, her vision was blurred, which was normal after such a procedure. So I had to help guide her home.

Once home, she lay on the couch for several hours, by this time it was night. Her vision was starting to clear up. She went to the window, and I will never forget this, she was startled, and exclaimed she could see the craters on the moon for the first time in her life.

I was shocked. I knew she had been short sighted, but I never knew she could not see the details of the moon. Now for the first time in her life she could. So for the rest of the evening she was like a little kid looking at everything, with new eyes.

She did have to use eyes drops for quite a while afterwards, but that eventually went away. Her eyesight is still tip top to this day.

Craters?!?!? I can't see them even with glasses:( You totally convinced me, it really worths...

Anja couldn't see them with glasses either.
All I can say is, just be very very thorough in your research and do heaps of comparisons like Anja did. Only when you find a clinic that you feel assured of, then go ahead.
Being there with Anja through her experience made me appreciate and realise, how much I take my own eyesight for granted. BTW, I'm an artist, a painter, so my sight is important to me.

The same about me. I really need them, as well as brain and hands. All for painting:)

paint, paint, paint... =)

Craters, well the really big ones of course... even for me with good eyesight. So I'm not suggesting you will have Superman eyesight. =)
But there are heaps of details to see.
