I had negative vision, and wearing contact lenses was so painful for me that I went ahead with it right away. It felt a bit factory-like, but all the medical staff were kind. My corneas were average, and because I was attending school, I had Smile LASEK. Before the director came in, I was lying on the bed listening to the explanation, and I wondered whether I should ask them to cancel even then. They said I must not move my eyes, that if it seemed like it would not work, they could proceed with LASEK, and even mentioned blindness, so my hands were shaking like crazy. The surgery felt like it took about 15 minutes, and as long as you do exactly as instructed, you can finish it safely. But the sensation is a bit strange. Day of surgery -> My vision was cloudy as if cream had gotten into my eyes, and my eyes were sensitive to light. I wanted to sleep, but it hurt so much that I screamed, then at some point I fell asleep, and when I woke up it did not hurt anymore. Day after surgery -> There was almost no throbbing feeling, and I wondered if I was wearing contact lenses. At that time I could see so well that I felt a little dizzy. It was corrected from about -4 to -5 to 1.5.
It has been about 4 months since the surgery now, and although my vision has dropped a little, I am more satisfied than living with contacts and glasses.
