There was a successful case in my family, so I went straight away without looking into it much. There were tons of people even at the examination area... and there were so many types of tests that until the surgery, I was confused whether I was having surgery or still getting examined. During surgery, I had to look at a red dot, but I was exhausted from the long exams and waiting, and because I had severe astigmatism and very poor vision, I couldn't focus well... Maybe because of that, my vision, which should have recovered in 2-3 days, did not fully recover for 2-3 months. Objects still looked doubled and blurry. I worried a lot that the surgery had failed, but from the 3-month mark, I think I could see completely. I recommend staying fully alert and concentrating during surgery. Also, my eyes were originally a bit dry, but after surgery, they have been so dry that I still can't live without artificial tears.
