NO MORE GLASSES!!! ^____^

I’m getting LASIK + Wavefront eye surgery TODAY (actually tonight after work)!!! YAY! No more glasses!!! I’m getting it done at Dream Eye Centre in Myeongdong, South Korea. I am extremely excited not having to wear glasses ever again but also a little scared. Your eye is one of the most important organ in your body right?

Anyways, I went for my consultation last Friday and everything went well. It turns out I have small pupils, astigmatism, thick cornea layer so I’m a perfect candidate for both LASIK and LASEK. Personally, I prefer LASIK because the recovery time is quicker than LASEK and it’s not painful!

The surgery doesn’t take long at all (about a minute for each eye) and then testings before and after surgery, so approx. 30mins max. Here is a description of the procedure from the Dream Eye Centre website if anybody interested ( http://www.hellolasik.com/eng_site/refractive_surgery/lasik.asp).  Everyone there was very nice and helpful, especially my doctor/consultor, she talked me through every test that she did and also answers all my questions. 

After the surgery I can pretty much see with my glasses ( ~70-80%), but I ‘d have to wear sun glasses because the eyes gets very sensitive to light. My LASIK+Wavefront surgery will cost me 1.8million won ( I got a 10% discount because I’m a foreigner ^___^), and that’s including everything before  and after the surgery care. Will write more later.
