LASIK

Well it has been just over a month after my LASIK + Wavefront operation and it went very well. I got it done on the 4th December. You need someone to go with you so Shawn went with me (thank you Shawn! ^___^) I had to wait a while since a came a little late so the schedule was moved. Anyways, I got in there and the prep me for the surgery, the nurse put anesthetic drops on my eyes and basically just sit and wait.

Finally, the nurse helped me into the surgery room (my eyes were closed the whole time) and the operation started. My doctor talked me through the whole operation, like what he will do and what will happen so I’m not suprised. The whole procedure was went very well, the only uncomfortable feeling I had was when a metal ring was placed on my eye. It felt like someone pressing their finger on my eye. After the ring was put on, I couldnt see for like a few seconds. I think thats the step where your coneal layer is removed for the laser treatment. The whole process took 10 minutes! They even played a “Congratulations” song after your surgery…I was a little suprised to hear it lol.                                                                                                                                             I layed in a nice warm room with music for about 10 mins. Then i was taken downstairs and was given directions for after care and I went home. My eyes were so sensitive to light I had to weat sun glasses for the train ride home.

I came back the next day for a check up, then again a week later, and again a month later and now 2 months later. I see perfectly well now without my glasses and it feels awesome! I had to wear eye shields for a week and put eye drops in my eyes. I see halos sometimes at night but thats about the only thing that’s kinda annoying. I’m very happy with the operation and the staff at Dream Eye Center in Myeongdong was AWESOME!!! Thanks you very much guys ^___^

CYA ^____^

  1. Hello, I am coming to Ansan Korea next month. I am curious about the eye surgery…was it in English? Does it last forever?

    • Hi Emily,
      My surgery went very well. It’s been 2 months already and I can see perfectly. The doctors and staff at the place where i had my surgery done ( Dream Eye Centre) all spoke English. You need to book for a consultation and it takes about 2 hours. When you come in, your consultant will go through all the tests and will explain to you what each of the tests and their result means. They will answer all your questions and tell you about the surgery.
      The surgery is permanent, but you will probably need to wear glasses when you are older but thats because of old age and not because of the surgery.
      I hope this helps, if you need anything else just ask.

      Tami
