My vision was around 0.1, but even though I wanted to wear contacts, my eyes were so sensitive that I couldn't even tolerate wearing them for 10 minutes and kept taking them out.. I heard that you have to wear contacts several times to adapt, so I kept trying, but the foreign-body sensation was just too strong and I couldn't see well anyway, so I made up my mind and got Smile LASIK! I thought about Smile Pro, but the cost was expensive, and apart from the surgery time, I felt there wasn't a big difference, so I went with Smile LASIK. I also had corneal strengthening done at the same time, so the surgery itself finished quickly, in under 15 minutes? The anesthesia wore off after about 30 minutes, but the moment it wore off was really, really painful..😢 I had heard that Smile LASIK doesn't hurt on the day of surgery, so I wasn't worried, but maybe because my eyes are so sensitive, it hurt so much that tears kept coming out of my eyes; it felt like garlic had been poured into my eyes..? I went straight to the pharmacy and took medicine, and after two hours it didn't hurt at all. The downside was that on the same day, light made my eyes feel even more painful, so even with Smile LASIK I wore sunglasses at home that day only haha.. The very next day I had already booked a movie premiere event, so I went to watch a film, and my eyes didn't hurt at all and were completely fine. But when I read Smile LASIK reviews, people say the next day is already a whole new world, while I had a blurred feeling in front of my eyes, so I couldn't feel it right away For 1 to 2 months after surgery, things felt a bit foggy and uncomfortable, but since then until now I have had zero glare and my eyes are not dry at all!! Sometimes when I'm concentrating or tired they get a little dry, and if I use artificial tears once or twice it's fine. It was a bit expensive, but there were no side effects, and other people say they wake up and immediately look for artificial tears because their eyes are so dry, but mine are so fine that I'm completely satisfied!! If you're thinking about it, I really think you should do it! Your quality of life really goes up👍
