The hardest part was staying still but they gave me stress balls and had someone reminding me to breathe and keeping me calm through the whole procedure. I think had I actually remembered to take my medicine I would not have felt a thing.

Following the surgery my eyes have been a bit irritated (I keep instinctively trying to rub them but the glasses they gave me prevent it thank the lord). But they said that's just how it's going to be for a while and that it'll ease with time. I can see fairly well right now and it's only been a day. They said the more I sleep and rest the faster my eyes will heal. Problem is I'm not one to get tired easily so this whole constantly sleeping thing is not easy for me. As for one eye being better than the other, I think that's normal in most people. We all have a dominant eye so one eye is going to be stronger than the other.



Whoa whoa whoa, tape? Nah man that's not what they used on me. My eyes were held open by that cup thing but that might be because of how my eyes are deepset. But when you lose your eyesight for a while it feels like you're asleep. It's trippy. Cause then you start seeing like blurred colors and they're like "focus on the green" but it's like there's green everywhere along with some red and then sometimes you can't see anything. I legit felt like I was on an acid trip or something. It was mildly entertaining actually except for the fact that I was terrified the whole time.
It wasn't PRK you went through then was it? There's a few different versions and I know that PRK is the more intense version they use. That is what I heard yeah. You get the checks first to see if you are a good candidate then by that they decide on how they would need to go about the procedure and what's best for you. See that's a little thing that has me thinking. I have ADD and astigmatism. So it'd be hard to keep focused on one spot. My brother told me that too xD. How they gave him a choice of a stress ball or a teddy bear haha (yes he's 25 lol).

That's another thing he's been dealing with too. Especially after sleeping. The crust around the inner part of the eye he's been having trouble with because you aren't allowed to rub or dig in your eyes. And yeah your eyes will only get better as they heal. I'm assuming you have the same effects he got from it too. The red spots in your eyes from the irritation? It kinda stuck with my brother for almost 5 days. Yeah everyone seems to have some better eyesight in one eye than the other.

XD yeah he told me they used something to tape his eyelids open. Craziest part to me. I asked him how long it took on each eye. He said about 3 minutes, but...then it made me wonder. How did he keep his eye for 3 minutes? His only answer..."trying to close it seemed to relax the eye. So by trying to and failing. It soothed the need to close his eye." That to me doesn't make any sense, but if it works then all the better. The cup thing is what took off that first layer on the eye he told me. Then he took it off and then made him look at the laser. Which he could barely manage to see after it was removed anyway. Due to all the blurriness, colors, and such. Good thing the laser doesn't fire with our technology today unless your eye is where it needs to be.

Still it's something I'm looking into and thinking about it only makes me want to get my eyesight repaired more and more.
