i had it done... 2 years ago now.. maybe 3... ooo maybe more.. lol... It is the best thing i've ever done.
they will do a whole bunch of tests at first. at least here they did.. i went to TLC.. they are world wide... the worst of it all is when they trust your eye pressure.. but they put a numbing liquid on your eye.. so it isn't even that bad!
Then the day of you go in... they give you a mild sedative.. i could have used two
it just makes you calm.. it doesn't knock you out or anything.. they bring you into a room with other people who are also going to get it done that day... they put the numbing liquid on your eyes twice... then .. at least with us.. they asked who wanted to go first
i didn't! i had my ex with me (wasn't my ex at the tme) and he was able to watch through a window. we went in and they hold your eye open with something or other... but you dont' feel like it is dry or anything because it is numb.. they slice your eye but again.. you dont' feel that... you just feeel the pressure of the machine they use to do that... they pull the flap over.. again NO pain... and ask you to watch a light and then they are done that eye... 1 min max. then they do the other eye... and you are done.. you go in the waiting room for a bit and they ask you to read a chart to make sure you can see and you get to go home. When you are home... you have 3 different eye drops that have to go in.. the first day it is every 2 hours for 24 hours and then they are more spaced out... your eyes are... sore i guess... they are tender maybe... VERY VERY Sensitive to light... you are supposed to sleep as much as you can because when they are closed they heal... and again.. they are sore so you want to keep them closed.. you hav eto sleep with these plastic concave things over your eyes for the first 4 nights which is tough... you can't wear make up for a week and have to wear sunglasses outside for a week.
if at anytime in my life i need it done again... TLC will do it for free which is part of the sevice they offer
if you have any other questions pm me or just ask on here
i am so glad i had it done!
