The surgery itself was awful for me. The doctor told me this is VERY uncommon though! And I still recommend the surgery! I was very calm going into it, so anxiety was not a factor at first. I actually felt them cutting my cornea and it was extremely painful. The drops didn’t start working until the second part of my second eye - where they lift the flap. I could feel that it was getting a little numb. Thankfully the procedure is very quick! Post-op was a breeze for me! I only had discomfort for a 2 days after and occasional dryness at night. But my eyesight was excellent and I had no complications or discomfort after the surgery.
Update!: Day 7 check up. Still seeing 20/15 with both eyes together. Things can be slightly blurry but i can see MUCH further than before. Everything is healing nicely. Loved everything about the location and everyone I interacted with. First day eyes were sore but the nap did wonders! Next day I was able to drive myself to a volunteer opportunity and today day 3 drove to my follow up. Seeing 20/15 with both eyes together! So happy already and it's still healing. Highly recommend and worth every penny! Also, able to wear fancy sunglasses and not spend a whole bunch on prescription.
Great experience from start to finish. Only two days out from my procedure so healing is still taking place. Currently a little eye sensitivity, dryness and halos; other than that I can see just as well as I did when I used to wear contacts. Except now, I don't have to worry about my morning and night routine. Will update when healing is finished and hopefully the halos go away :)
Awesome experience. Extremely friendly and helpful. Operating room set up with observation window and let my daughter who is studying to be a nurse watched. Great experience for both of us. No more glasses, wonderful people to deal with.
Staff was friendly & helpful. The girls at the desk were very nice as well.
