My Day For Lasik Surgery

My Day for Lasik Surgery

This story is for my family and friends who wonder what it is like to go through a Lasik vision correction procedure. I've shared my experiences with one or two colleagues at work that have besides had Lasik done, and there are enough variations to give divination to those who are trying to choose between different Lasik physicians or different Lasik centers.

First, my Lasik procedure was scheduled for 4 PM in the afternoon, which was fine with me. Solitary of the directions for patient that has just had a Lasik procedure was to go to sleep as soon as possible, in procession for the healing process to begin as swiftly in that possible. And recurrently by the end of the afternoon I am too tired after working all day to be very nervous. Sane, usually anyway.

I had only been there a few minutes when I was called into a room to prepare me for the Lasik procedure, and to get instructions ( again! ) on how to care for my eyes once the Lasik vision correction has been done. They offered me some Ativan, which is a mild sedative just to deal in me calm during the Lasik process. The lasers themselves recorder any head or eye movement and turn themselves off when it occurs, so it isn't that the sedative is for anything other than psychological reasons. I took it anyway. All of my colleagues at work also took it, though none of us in reality felt any different than we did before. Apparently it is a VERY mild sedative.

My eyes were prepared for the Lasik procedure by being dosed with eye numbing drops and some kind of medication. I cannot be sure of the other pre - operative steps, as I think I was trying very hard not to consider about either Lasik or my eyesight. Perhaps the sedative was a bit stronger than I imagined it was.

At this point I was escorted into another room for some time, where I sat back, listened to the piped - in music, and awaited my turn in the Lasik operating room. There were two other people waiting with me in this room, so apparently my doctor different setup for his Lasik patients than my colleagues. Both were alone in their pre - op rooms until they were escorted into the room where the Lasik procedure was actually performed.

As to the Lasik procedure itself, whole of us have similar memories from this procedure. Each of us felt some pressure when the various Lasik implements were used on our eyes, though trained wasn't any real discomfort or pain. There was a blurring of vision for the eye being worked on, but the real atmosphere was mainly audio - the whirring and clicks of the machine. One of my colleagues also remembers a discrete smell, somewhat reminiscent of hair shiny. There may have been a slight smell during my Lasik procedure, but it wasn't significant enough for my attention to be focused on it.

After a short amount of time, my Lasik physician said he was done and that I had been a good patient. In all of our Lasik experiences, the vitality itself was much easier than all of our worries about irrefutable beforehand. I hope this helps those of you being having a Lasik procedure done.
