Plum Crazy: I Can See! I Can See!

Back in 2003...

Lawsy, lawsy, Miss Eva, I can see!

The laser eye surgery has been completed, and so far I am quite pleased with the results. Thanks to everyone for their well wishes. A little rundown on the types of surgery I had.

In the left eye, I had the LASIK surgery, which is where they make a flap in your cornea with the Excimer laser, reshape the eye under the flap, and then put the flap back where it heals naturally in a couple of days. It took about 7 minutes all told to do that eye, although most of it wasn't with the laser. I felt no pain at all, just a little pressure when they inserted the speculum to keep the eye wide open and when they used the microkeratometer to make the flap. Last night, it felt like I had something in my eye, but that sensation was gone when I woke up this morning. My vision in that eye went from 20/400 to 20/30 overnight, and my astigmatism went from 1 point to being completely gone. The vision should improve a bit further over the next couple of days, but even at 20/30 I'm ecstatic.
