| - I promised an update - so here it is!!!!
I have four numbers and a symbol to sum up my final thoughts: 20/15
My only unanswered question is, why did it take so long for me to start researching and finally decide to do this?????
The day of my "surgery" ( the word "surgery" is SOOOOO OVERRATED) I was a complete disaster. I tried to stay as calm as possible but I was nervous beyond all belief.
Nonetheless, I went in as scheduled, ran through a final round of short tests and then off I was - lined up in the small room with everyone else in line for laser treatment.
I will admit, it was a little odd sitting next to others in preparation for the "laser". And in my brief moment of nervous insanity I thought I was in a mental institution as I watched others next to me be handed their Valium. I just couldn't wait to get mine!
But true to form, when I get nervous or feel awkward I confront it straight on so I lightened the whole room up with some casual conversation. I doubt I'll ever recognize the fine folks ever again, seeing as my eyes had numbing drops and we all had hair nets on with stickers on our heads.
You can hear the laser in the room next to you as you watch others come in and out. It's actually a little freaky but also a bit calming since you can ask them how it was, etc.
So finally, it was my turn. I literally walked in, took a deep breathe to relax, laid down under the contraption - was coached and talked to the entire time (awesome support docs!) - felt some pressure on my eye - stared at a blurry light. Repeat. 5 minutes later - I WAS DONE?!?!?!
Wait.
That's it?!?!
Yes. That simple.
It was actually quite humorous - seeing as I've had more uncomfortable experiences at the dentist office. No wonder it's not that big of a deal for them to line you up in a room with others. It's literally NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL. Doctor Schwartz checks out your eyes under the microscope at the end, and you're on your way!!
Your eyes are a little blurry and shocked but I could tell my vision was better immediately. My driver took me home, I slept the rest of the day and night, and my follow up appointment the next day was 20/15.
Although there was very little interaction with Dr. Schwartz the day of (he's in the OR the whole time) - his staff is absolutely INCREDIBLE. I could not be more satisfied with the final results and experience as a whole. I would HIGHLY recommend this business fellow Yelpers - but more importantly so glad I did this for myself!
