The surgery was super quick, and I could see amazing right away. Then it all went away. I probably slept for 2 or 3 days straight... waking only to take a pain pill and sleep again. I remember looking at the ceiling fan each day and it looking clearer and clearer before my eyes hurt and said pills.
I could finally work but my eyes were super light sensitive and my resolution was trash. I was sitting in a room with no lights, sunglasses, and my laptop screen zoomed way in when I started back at work, and even then kept confusing minus for equals.
In short time it healed and like most things, I forgot the bad and am completely happy.
My wife got Lasik and could see perfectly a few hours later with no side effects.
I guess she doesn't mind that gross eye flap I kept reading about, lol.
In the end, we are both happy with our choices and would do it again in a heartbeat.
