My vision was really bad (I think it came out to about -7? during the exam), so they said I couldn't do LASIK and I got LASEK instead, but it seriously hurt like hell Another friend who got LASEK said it hurt for about 3-4 days, but for me I think it hurt for nearly 5-6 days, almost 7 days. It felt like I had put a ton of shampoo in my eyes and rubbed them? My eyes hurt so much I couldn't even open them, so I took painkillers and just slept. Later, because I only slept, I couldn't even fall asleep anymore. It's been over 2 years since the surgery, and my vision comes out 0.7/1.0. They said it could go up to 1.5, but I guess it's because I look at the computer and phone a lot After doing it, my quality of life went way up completely

At the consultation back then, they said my left eye could reach a maximum of 0.9, and we aimed for 1.0, but now I don't really seem to have any decrease in vision! But my dry eye is definitely severe, and I still have glare/halos. I can…
