Lasers shooting into my eyes
I went for LASIK treatment on my eyes yesterday. And it didn't hurt. Just a little pain when the doctor pressed this suction thing into my left eye. Now dealing with contacts is a thing of the past.
Modern medicine is truly a wonderful thing. The more I think about this technique, the more amazed I am. They peel a little flap off the surface of your eye, they shoot some lasers into your eye to change the contour of your eye, and then flip the flap back onto your eye. Who would even think that was possible?
The process was a little easier for me than most people I think, because I got to watch them do it to Claudine. So as they were doing it to me, I knew what was happening. I think it would have freaked me out to have all these little things jabbing, pressing and cutting into my eyes if I didn't know what they were.
Now my sight is 20-15 in each eye. There are times when everything I see is a little *TOO* sharp. It almost hurts to see this clearly. Because even with contacts, I'm sure my sight wasn't 20-15. It's as if my brain has gotten used to having a little blurriness for so long that it can't process all the data it's receiving now.
