My procedure...
Nurses gave me half a tablet of valium(!!!), to sooth nerves they said and a painkiller. After 1/2 hr, I went inside the op room. Lie on a bed. They used something to hold my head in place. Then I was pushed under a machine. Doc used tape to tape my eye lashes and then a metal prong pushed my eye lids out to expose my eye balls. A metal round thing was placed on my eye ball (to hold it in place i think) And the doc used water to clean the eye ball. Then he used a cotton wool to dry the eye ball. Yes, I could see this all happening. Surprisingly, there was no pain at all. Except the part where the metal thing was placed around the eye ball. I could feel some pressure.. and then I think the doc asked me to look at the red dot of the machine and concentrate. Don't move eyes, don't move head. I couldn't anyway, because eye was held in place. Couldn't even blink! Then they switched off the lights and the laser started. Lasted few seconds. After that, eyeball was washed again. Cotton wool to dry my eye ball. Then released it from the metal thingy and untape my eye lashes. They covered my right eye and then did the same thing with my left eye.
Whole procedure was done in 15 mins. Right after the surgery, I could see things quite clearly, except it felt like there was a film covering the eyes. I came out of the op room, put some eye drops, and closed my eyes to rest. After a while, doc came to check. He said ok and I went home. I opened my eyes to walk out of the clinic to the car and my tears keep flowing.. Quite difficult to open my eyes! When I went home, I immediately went to bed. Put eye drops again, put a protective eye goggle and went to sleep. -

then after my surgery, i put on my glasses
wah....it was a total blur -
i scared i scared i scared ...!Originally posted by monkeybusiness:aiyah...dun think so much lah
that time before i did mine, i oso worry alot
but no risk no gain mah
besides, the doc already highlighted that the only probably risk is due to infection. If you apply eyedrops and antibiotics as prescribed and avoid crowded and dusty environment for the first wk, you will be fine oredy
