I almost fainted during my LASIK procedure back in 2013 as they used to use a metallic “can opener” machine instead of laser to cut the corneal flap, the pressure on my eye was unreal. Nowadays they use femtolaser. At first the doctor used a large sized lid holder to keep my eye open. The holder on the left eye was too large, so I told the doctor, then he changed it to a smaller size. Ever since I have a saggy left lower lid. Without the lids moving your eyes get so dry quickly which is a very irritating feeling. At that moment I was begging for refreshing eye drops that the assistant smears on the eye every now and then. Nonetheless one of the best feelings afterwards as you see the world nice and clear without glasses for the first time, feel the fresh air on your eyes and realize how big your nose really is 😄

I had lasik done back in 2008. I found an institution that was doing LASIK at a very affordable price. My lasik was a bit different. They brought you in groups and gave you 1 Valium 8 hours prior to the surgery. My surgery didn't involve switching machines. They strap you down, cut open your lense, flip it over and they use a laser then they put the flap back down and then you have to go see the dr a couple of hours later. For some reason my eyes started hurting really bad. They gave me this prescription that made my eye really cloudy. The odd thing with lasik is you will see halos around street lights and head lights the halo is very prominent at night. You will get used to that.

Then after doing them day in and day out for years and years they get burnt out on it and get sloppy and careless with their patients. They start using more alcohol and drugs to give their lives some kind of meaning. This strips the protective sheathes of their nerves, giving them tremors. Their work suffers even more. Their patients more so. People complain it has ruined their ability to drive at night because the scarring causes lights to fracture in to 5 lights, blinding them, causing car accidents, permanent injuries and death. They are sued for this and having missed the last several monthly malpractice insurance payments in order to buy more coke, their insurance has lapsed and is suspended. The victims are awarded 100 million dollars. He only has about half of that and it's tied up in real estate investments. He now has to liquidate everything he owns and do 4 times the amount of surgeries in a day. In order to stay alert his coke habit increases. His wife is his assistant that he foolishly married 8 years ago. Being together at work and at home is hard on both of them. She doesn't understand and doesn't want to. She wants a divorce. She's been having an affair with his secretary with the small tits and big ass. Funny part is, so has he. He catches them at it one night in the office. He calls his lawyer the next day and fills out his last will and testament. He sobs as he fills it out. The next morning they find him in the patients chair with the laser surgical tools duct taped to his head. On the surgical tray before him is a bottle of the numbing agent they use in patients eyes, and eyedropper, a powder grinder, a MacDonald's thick walled extra wide malt straw cut in half, the remaining half of the pile of coke he powderized with the grinder and snorted, a nearly half full bottle of blue raspberry vodka the secretary with the big tits and small ass kept there, not to be confused with her oppositely proportioned counterpart, and an empty bottle of the roofies they give patients before surgery to chill them out and erase their memories. The settings on the surgical tools are turned up to full power. There is a distinct odor of burned hair mixed with the mouthwatering aroma of animal fat cooking. The odor is coming from around the edges of the duct tape. From the holes burned deep into his brain through his eye sockets. That mouthwatering smell of cooked animal fat is coming from his cooking brain tissue, which is made up largely of fat. He has burned (is burning) his own eyes out and enough of his brain to kill himself. His wife and secretary arrive at work together. They left together and spent the night together. Upon arriving they see his car is already there. His secretary unlocks the clinic doors while his wife hangs back and gathers her resolve for another day in eternal the hell of cutting remarks and juvenile sexual innuendo. She hears a scream but it seems distant and she is distracted by her own thoughts. Then she hears it again but this time it's MUCH louder, and choked off mid scream. The part that should have been the rest of a scream was a loud wretching noise followed by the sound of liquid splattering on pavement. It finally registered in her morning brain that those sounds were coming from the back entrance to the clinic and those sounds and fluids were coming from secretary #1. She hurried over to her to ask her what was wrong, but she was still trying to scream and throw up at the same time as sobbing uncontrollably. Like she couldn't decide between them, so did them all. Wife turned and hurried to the entrance but slowed down when she smelled frying fat. She cautiously entered and followed her nose. She saw him and looking at his shirt, barked out a brief loud laugh. "HA!" Before wetting herself and fainting to the floor. Pinned to his shirt is a brief note written in his hand writing... "Occupational burnout. Get it?"

I was about to dip too after reading about every horror story, complication and possible long term damage there is, though I'm glad I didn't. The procedure itself is a little scary especially if you're a panicky type like me, because you will be asked to do stuff like keeping your eyes fully open while the doctor and his assistant try to insert retractors under your eyelids, or keeping your focus on the blinking green dot and ABSOLUTELY nowhere else(This was the part where it took every fiber of my being to not divert my eyes.) while the machine reshapes your cornea. Afterwards, you have to immediately put on a good pair of sunglasses, get the drops if you haven't and head home as soon as possible. There's good too. At least the whole thing takes like 10 minutes and is painless asides the retractor part. Also, despite the terrible blurry vision caused by the separated corneal flap(...yeah) you can still notice your vision problems go away and your sight get sharper in real time, AS the machine burns the stroma. It's an experience like no other. The other bad part was the first 2 weeks after the procedure where you have to constantly apply a multitude of eye drops on your eyes that are already burning like crazy, and you have to sit in complete darkness for a day or two(I hogged the bathroom complete with pillows, blankets, snacks and my phone auto playing podcasts.) You will have to continue using eye drops many times a day for a couple of months since your eyes are gonna be dry in the meanwhile(I always had dry eyes long before, so it wasn't too bothersome for me.)

And I got no sedatives. There was no pain and the moment they flip the flap back down, your vision is awesome. Takes a couple days for the flap to fully heal back.

I got it and it was the most horrifying thing I've ever been through. It's what I imagine an alien abduction would be like. if I had to do it again I would much rather be on something to calm the nerves.

I was on 1mg of Xanax for mine and it literally didn't help me calm down at all lol my anesthesia also didn't work right (I expected it cus anesthesia never works right for me and I told the assistant but the doctor went right for the cut without checking first) so the cutting of my corneas was extremely painful lol

[@TR-kf3vm]

@@SweetWasabi I mean I'd prefer someone telling me it was gonna hurt, everyone around me that had gotten it told me it felt like nothing... but tbh even taking into account the pain, I'd do it again, it's an uncomfortable experience but it's super quick and not needing glasses anymore is worth it

What, you can't do it if you have myopia?

[@JoaoPedro-ki7ct]

@@eneco3965 I've heard that you can't or that it is at the very least not recommend to have those surgeries if you have myopia.

@@JoaoPedro-ki7ct That's a bummer. Hopefully something in the future will come along that'll be able to help with that.

@@eneco3965 There's no cure, but there's treatment you can do to slow it down as a child and surgery you can do as an adult to improve it a lot.

Oh shit that's what I have. This is news to me too.

Well had this amazing experience some months ago, it's a life changer if you had an eye problem from an early age and definitely a good reason to Respect those doctors for what they have accomplished!!

[@hellfirehelios315]

Had LASIK done recently [two months ago] and its all in one, takes about 1hr total pricess time with the surgery done in about 10 mins. Its all done at one station now, youre given a muscle relaxer, and it only took about 2 days before i was able to start managing aftercare. In 2-4 weeks i was able to see at 99% 20/20, and in 6-8 months it should be healed in full. Doctor reccomended no contact sports until atleast a year later but all in all it is well worth it. Price for both eyes was $4900 and medication was only about $37. Eye drops after the fact are, at this time, roughly only $64/3 months depending on how dry your eyes get. The eye drops were non prescription and the brand i use is Systane. All in all well worth the investment

[@hebam.3318]

getting lasik was literally the coolest experience i’ve ever had

[@ittimjones]

Cool?!? It's terrifying! Slicing up ur eye. Losing vision when they move the flap. Smelling ur burning eye. Too stoned to be fully aware, but not stoned enough to not care. But getting to wear sunglasses when I want and not having to fiddle with glasses while laying down is great.

[@hebam.3318]

@@ittimjones i didn’t go in with the fear that something wrong could happen, they’re doctors who’s done it a hundred times its highly unlikely it would go wrong. and the feeling of seeing without glasses after 12 years of wearing it was so worth it 😂

[@koresaliva]

@@hebam.3318 Did you have nearsightedness or something else? And how bad was your vision? I'm considering doing this so I'm curious about it

[@hebam.3318]

@@koresaliva i think it was nearsightedness? i didn’t really know what it was called so i had to google it, but what i do know that i was a -5, and anyway the doctors test out everything to see if you’re suitable for the surgery

@@hebam.3318 Ah just like me then, except I'm currently at -3, still thanks for the reply I appreciate the info!

As someone who is very big on body horror and stuff like that especially eyes, I could barely watch this, let alone have it done to me, I'm blessed to have good eyes. I have friends who have had eye surgery and say it's amazing for them so I'm very happy for you :)
