Smile LASIK review!

First, I am someone with a big difference in vision between both eyes. In elementary school I started at 0.1 in the left eye and 1.0 in the right, and by now it had dropped to 0.1 on the left and 0.3 on the right. After booking the hospital exam and same-day surgery, I went straight there and they thoroughly checked my eyes. I had similar tests at other hospitals too, but the specialist optometrist here was really kind. And every time they did a test, they explained what they were testing, why they were doing it, and whether my results were within the normal range, so I felt confident. After the tests, I waited a bit and they told me that both Smile LASIK and Smile Pro LASIK were suitable for my eyes. Smile Pro was overwhelmingly expensive, so I hesitated a little, but with mom and dad helping out, they said they would pay for it, so I just went ahead and paid TT They said Smile Pro has a slightly faster recovery and the surgery ends sooner... plus corneal strengthening, which normally costs 50, was included as a service if I chose Smile Pro, so that tempted me. Honestly, being a bit less painful and ending faster did not seem that worth it compared to the price.. During the surgery it felt like experiencing blindness. No matter how hard I forced my eyes open, I felt nothing. I could not see anything. It was not black; it was true nothingness itself. I remembered someone saying that if you ever want to experience blindness, think of seeing with your elbow. At the time I thought, “What nonsense is that?” but that was exactly the feeling. Just when I was wondering whether the eyes were really the organ responsible for sight, it ended. And when I came out, it felt cool below my eyes, like a shooting star had been put into them, pop pop pop. It did not hurt, but I immediately thought winter wind would be bad for it. I basically walked around with my eyes closed (having a companion was mandatory T_T). Once I got home, I tried to doze off right away, but as the anesthesia wore off, pain surged up through the drowsiness T_T T_T T_T If you have been in a dark place and suddenly it gets very bright, you feel the pressure and strain in your eyes and tears just pour out... that kind of feeling. Some people say it feels like sand in the eyes, but it was not that gritty. If you rest your arm under your head for a long time and then release it, it goes numb and tingles, right? It felt like that in my eyes. My eyes felt a huge amount of strain and tears just kept flowing.. not tears from pain, just flowing. After 3 hours the pain disappeared. But I still could not see well in front of me all evening. By the next day, the world was still a bit blurry. I could not see well up close, but far away was clear. Because I could not see well up close, I held my phone far away while using it, and it made me feel like an old lady lol
