Goggle eye Joe! 4 Days after Laser Eye Surgery...

Wow. All I can say laser eye surgery is a surreal and amazing experience. I could see perfectly straight away after it was done and 4 days later it just keeps getting better and better.
So, what happens is you are taken into the surgery room and you lie on a dentist type couch. A nurse puts anaesthetic eye drops in and you close your eyes and rest while they take effect. The surgeon then checks the anaesthetic has taken effect by gently touching your eyeball - I felt absolutely nothing. Once this check has been done a plastic clip is placed over your eye (only one eye is done at a time), this is slightly uncomfortable as you can feel a squeezing pressure but it's not painful, then there is a clicking sound and the small flap is cut around your iris. This literally takes seconds and is over before you know it. It's time to have the laser now - this is the easiest part, you can't feel anything but you can see a flashing dot which you concentrate on and 10 seconds it's all over. It is literally that fast. I was really pleasantly surprised. My surgeon was Joanna McGraw, she was very friendly and explained everything clearly to me, she is a Harley Street surgeon who travels to reading to do the procedures there.
I would say it is well worth doing, and now I don't need to worry about losing my glasses or getting them scratched or paying out for new ones!!
My Dad is now even thinking of getting his done, he accompanied me throughout my process and saw how easy it was so hopefully we will both be free of ol' blind pugh!
