Today is the day after Amy’s LASER (Light Amplificatoin by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation) eye surgery. She opted to go with the LASEK procedure, rather than LASIK or PRK. From what I understand, LASEK is a combination of the other two.
The actual procedure didn’t take that long. They cut open the eye, peel back a layer, and then use the LASER to shape the eye. I was surprised to hear that it took a whole 14 seconds of LASER work, I was expecting more like 1 or 2 seconds.
Immediately after the surgery Amy wasn’t feeling too bad. As the time wore on though, it started to get more and more uncomfortable. The doctors said that today will be the worst of the pain and that is should get better after that.
She says her vision is blurry right now (and has been since the procedure), and the doctor said it will be that way until they take out the ‘bandage’ contacts that she is currently wearing. After that, a couple more days until she’ll see perfectly.
