LASIK!!

I was finally able to get LASIK done on my eyes!!. We had put money into our flex spending to do my wife's teeth, but they decided to do that surgery later and so we had to use the money. We decided to do LASIK for me!! The whole procedure is relatively quick and painless and it is amazing what it can do.

This video is the intralase part. That means where the use a laser to put thousands of little bubbles a certain depth into your eye and then makes a cut around the edge. It is all bladeless and is very crazy. I put the video in triple time so it would go a little faster

After they did this to both eyes, I went and sat in a massaging chair for about 10 - 15 minutes in order for the bubbles to dissipate. After that then it was time for the actual surgery. I had the Lasik with Wavelight procedure done on me. Once again I put the video in triple time and if you are a little squeamish with your eyes, you might not want to watch.

So with my pre-op and scans to the actually surgery, it only took about 5 hours and that was because they were running a little behind. So after all that, I have to put drops in my eyes for quite a while and wear funky goggles at night for a few nights, but worth it indeed. I had an exam this morning and I had 20/20 vision. They expect to even improve a little more with healing. It's also nice that with this type of procedure, they guarantee it so if my vision does fall below a certain level, they will touch it up for free. Very nice.

To have this surgery, I went to Hoopes Vision in Salt Lake. They were very good and amazing. Everyone was very friendly and nice and explained everything before and as I was going through it. I would suggest it to anyone that is a good candidate for it.
