| - WOW!!! I did my research and read plenty of reviews about Lasik surgery, but could not have imagined the magnitude of how life changing this procedure really is! I had my surgery 3 days ago, and couldn't be happier. I made an initial appt a few weeks ago, to learn more about the cost, procedure, etc. The staff couldn't have been nicer, very professional. I made the appt and returned for the surgery, last Friday. I was checked in at 1:00, signed final paperwork, purchased the recommended drops. By the way, Dr. Thomas called the night before to see if I had any questions or concerns. One of the nurses lead me to an exam room and explained the post-op process and also offered a choice of valium or Tylenol PM (more about that later). Dr. Thomas checked my eyes one more time and I proceeded to the waiting area. A short time later I was escorted to the surgery suite, where I was given some numbing drops and the first part of the procedure began, little bit of pressure, NO pain whatsoever, and the staff was great about explaining each part of the process. I was then escorted to a table where the laser portion of the treatment took place, once again no pain. The entire procedure was over in less than 15 minutes. Dr. Thomas checked my eyes one more time, I was given sunglasses to wear and released at approx 2:00. A friend drove me home, approx 25-30 minute ride, I started to feel a bit anxious, I guess because I couldn't really open my eyes. I arrived home, very much looking forward to the recommended sleep needed after the surgery. I couldn't sleep, even after having taken the Tylenol PM, I was just much too anxious, couldn't relax. I wished that I had taken the Valium, I opted for the Tylenol, thinking that I only need to sleep, obviously I need to relax first and then fall asleep. My husband arrived home from work a couple hours later, which I guess helped me to relax, knowing that I could fall asleep and someone was home. I finally drifted off to sleep at approx 5:00 and woke up 3 hours later. I could IMMEDIATELY see! My eyes were still very sensitive to light, but OMG, the change was drastic in just those few hours. Once again Dr. Thomas had called to check on my progress. Gotta love him! Fast forward, after a good night's sleep, the next morning was even better. I returned for my post-op appt on Saturday and Dr. Thomas confirmed all was ok. and I proceeded to run errands (with sunglasses), throughout the day. I am SO glad that I made the decision to have Lasik surgery, should have done it a long time ago:-)
