The procedure itself was as comfortable as they could make it, you know, for cutting a flap in your eye and blasting part of it away.
This morning I went in for followup and have 20/15 vision. A mild amount of blood under one flap which will dissipate within a week.
So far, only mild discomfort after the initial healing yesterday, which was pretty irritating. Now, it just feels like there's an eyelash that won't go away. I have to keep reminding myself that I can't adjust my contact lenses any more.
There is some staring I noticed looking at the clock display in a dark room, but nothing worse than the old pair of glasses I was wearing in the interim. But that's supposed to almost completely fade over 6 months.
I know that, "time will tell", but thus far, I'm very optimistic. I'd definitely recommend this doctor to anyone.
This is a bit disturbing of a headline to see, literally a couple hours before I'm scheduled for a Lasik procedure.
But after reading the article, I don't know how much weight there is to this. Seems to be a small sample and that report is heavily highlighting a couple negative items out of a largely happy pool of patients.
Was there any connection to the doctor or clinic? Did some clinics or equipment have a higher rate of complications? I'm getting mine performed at a well reviewed practice in San Jose.
This article isn't enough for me to cancel the procedure, but it was enough of a scare to put me on the edge for a second. Sensationalism? Maybe not quite, but it'd be great if these reports would work to remove their bias.
This is only a mildly disturbing headline to see, literally a couple hours before my Lasik procedure...
But from what I see in the article, the negative experiences are few and far between, not to mention, they don't seem to take into account variation between different clinics. Is there a connection in quality to the doctor or their practice? Is there some problem with a piece of equipment?
