Want to find someone who had LASIK and LASEK at the same time..? That’s me…

I had LASIK on my right eye and LASEK on my left eye. Of course, I had absolutely no intention of doing that from the beginning. They measured my corneal thickness and proceeded with LASIK... The surgery on my right eye went well, but when they started on my left eye, something felt off from the start. The machine that fixes the eye by sucking it in with suction-like force couldn’t hold my eyeball in place and kept releasing it. It was noticeable even to me, like it would suck in with a whoop! and then pshhh... let go? Anyway, after that repeated about 3 times, my eyeball swelled up, so the surgery was stopped midway. My eyeball got bloodshot/bruised and I looked like a vampire...^^ My dad made a huge scene.. He looked ready to grab the doctor by the collar. But for me, it’s not like my eyesight got worse, and strictly speaking it was just staying the same... I heard we should do LASEK a month later, and I was tired and wanted to go home and rest, so I said OK for the time being and came back. I also figured another hospital probably wouldn’t continue something another hospital had started and left unfinished; So I lived like Ashura with different vision in each eye for a month, then a month later I finished the left eye with LASEK, and after that it became fine. But because of the stress I went through during that time, I can’t casually recommend LASIK or LASEK to other people...^^ If you only look at the conclusion, the surgery went well, and the satisfaction compared with the cost was high. I had already assumed I’d have to live with small things like dry eyes or slight glare... If you want to do it, you can, but everyone should keep in mind that unexpected things can always happen~~
