I had Smile LASIK on February 23, and up to now I have been generally satisfied. Right after surgery, my eyes felt sensitive to cold air, but it got much better after a few days, and for about 2 weeks after surgery I felt an unpleasant medicinal taste in my mouth every time I used the eye drops. During the pre-op consultation, I was told that glare could happen, and in actual life I did notice light spreading or my eyes feeling uncomfortable when looking at bright lights or car headlights in dark places. Still, it is at a level that does not seriously interfere with daily life. One thing I found odd was that because the hospital is quite large, the surgery moved very quickly. Even before I entered the operating room, another person was having surgery, and as soon as that person came out, it was almost immediately my turn. It seemed efficiently run, but at first I was a little taken aback. I wondered whether other eye clinics also operate this way. Still, the most satisfying thing is of course being able to live without glasses. I can see clearly as soon as I wake up in the morning, and it is much more comfortable when going out or exercising, so I feel my quality of life has improved. Overall, it was a surgery with a high level of satisfaction.
