Laser-assisted In Situ Keratomileusis

Posted on Thursday, March 23rd, 2006 at 9:50 am

I went in for laser eye surgery yesterday. They stuck something in my eye to keep it open during the procedure, applied suction on my eyeball until it went dark, sliced open my lens, the laser went ZAP ZAP ZAP, folded the lens back over, and 10 minutes later I’m seeing without glasses.

It’s not perfect yet…things are still a little fuzzy, but they say within a week I’ll be fine. And I can expect some “halo effect” while driving at night for a few more weeks or months. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Now I can go buy some awesome sunglasses instead of using a dorky pair of clip-ons. And I don’t have to worry about Maggie (or child #2) grabbing at them. That was the real impetus for having the procedure done.

scary! scary-cool, but still… scary! (especially the idea of having an open eye but seeing darkness)
