Hello haha. I’m a 31-year-old man who has lived wearing glasses and contact lenses for almost 20 years.
I had heard so much about LASIK side effects that I was planning to just live without getting surgery,
but glasses and contacts were too inconvenient when exercising or playing in the water, and wearing contacts a lot seemed worse for my eyes, so I decided to get LASIK.
I live in Jeonju, and there were eye clinics famous for LASIK even in my neighborhood, but I had also heard a lot that any major surgery should definitely be done in Seoul.
Since eye surgery is important, after searching hard online and in cafes, I decided on the famous ㅇㅅㅇㅇ Eye Clinic in Seoul.
I took a day off on a weekday and had the examination and LASIK surgery on the same day. From the examination to the surgery, it took about 2-3 hours, and it was over quickly haha.
I went with a friend, holding hands, because we were going to get LASIK together without separate guardians.
It was my first surgery, so I was a bit scared, but Director ㅈㅇㅅ explained everything so kindly and reassured me, which was nice.
During the surgery, they even let me hold a doll and kept talking to me, so I was able to receive it without getting nervous.
Right after the surgery, I had glare, tears, and slight pain, but after an hour or two, it got better.
I don’t think walking around in bright places or driving after surgery would be possible.
To check whether the surgery went well the next day, I booked a motel just 1 minute away and stayed there overnight.
I had the checkup the next day, and the surgery went well, and my vision came out to 1.0.
If you just need a place to lie down with your eyes closed and do nothing, I recommend ㅉ Motel.
I was able to return to daily life right the day after surgery, and I only wore sunglasses until the day after surgery.
Some people wear UV-blocking glasses, but the doctor said there was no need for that.
I also think it’s a luxury to buy glasses after getting surgery when I had surgery to stop wearing glasses.
Since I put in eye drops and artificial tears often, I didn’t have dryness.
However, when looking at lights like a computer or monitor, my eyes were a bit dazzled, but after a month, it got better.
I went back for a checkup after a month, and they said the surgery went well and that I had managed it well.
