Before sugery, getting prepped with the lovely betadine:
The surgery itself was a piece of cake with no pain and very, very minimal discomfort. It lasted about 10 minutes total. BD watched through a window into the operating room and also watched a huge magnification of my eyeball and the procedure on a big-screen TV.
After the surgery, doing a final check and taping on the eye shields:
I went home a slept for several hours (with these nifty protective shields taped to me).
I am seeing 20/20 as of my 7am post-op appointment this morning; I could even read some of the 20/15 line! I have not had any scratchy-ness or irritation. As a matter of fact, except for being able to see clearly, it doesn't even feel like anything has been done to my eyes.
I had my surgery at TLC of Raleigh at the recommendation of my eye doctor. I highly recommend this surgery if you are a candidate. I'll be happy to answer any questions about the procedure, if anyone's interested.

Yay glad it went well!
BLAH! I'm SOOOOOOO jealous of you. I'm happy for you, but incredibly jealous. :) I'm not a candidate for any type of laser eye surgery due to my super dooper thin corneas. DANG!
I so wish I could get out of these glasses!!!
I'm glad your surgery went well! Trey had it done last year and loved his results.
Love the eye patches, very fetching! A-whoo-hoo for piece o' cake surgery.
I would LOVE to have this done, except for one teeny little caveat:
I DO NOT LIKE ANYONE BESIDES ME TO TOUCH MY EYES.
Glad you had such a great experience! It would be nice to wake up and see clearly.
I had that done way back when it first came out, even though my only problem was astigmatism. I lost my glasses, insurance completely covered the surgery, so it seemed like the best option. However, I suffer from the side effects they have since corrected (difficult night vision, especially with all the super bright headlights out there now; a bit of dry eye syndrome). But, I can say that 12 years later, I'm still seeing just fine without any glasses or contacts! Hope your results are fabulous. Good luck!
