After the surgery I went home and took a 2-hour nap right away, and when I woke up I could see clearly like magic. Right after the surgery my eyes were stinging so badly that tears kept pouring out and I thought I was going crazy, but that went away right away too. Since I could wash myself the next day, going to work was totally possible too (and there was no pain), though I did take some rest because I was worried looking at a computer immediately would strain my eyes. The nighttime glare was severe for about 6 months, so driving at night was really hard. It is not completely gone even now, but it has improved enough that I can drive, and of course I still have dry eyes. Anyway, it is a surgery with no reason not to do it.

Orthodontic Reviews@ortho-reviewApr 27 Smile LASIK does not correct astigmatism well
If you have quite a bit of astigmatism, I hope you’ll reconsider Smile. I’m not saying refractive surgery is completely not recommended, but if you have astigmatism and it isn’t fully corrected, your perceived vision can be much lower than
