I was honestly a little scared on the day of surgery, but the actual procedure finished very quickly, taking about 10–15 minutes including the laser treatment and waiting. Thanks to the anesthetic eye drops, the procedure itself did not hurt at all. That evening, around the time the anesthesia wore off, my eyes stung slightly and watered a little. After sleeping, the pain had almost disappeared by the next day. I could go out and do light daily activities right away. For the first few days, I had some glare and light sensitivity, along with slightly hazy vision like a veil of light, but it gradually stabilized over about a month. It cost around 3 million won, and I am satisfied. The best part is waking up and seeing the world clearly without looking for my glasses~ I used artificial tears frequently at first, and now I use them occasionally only when my eyes feel dry!
