Re: Vision Correction/Lasik surgery

They pin your eyelids open so you can't blink. It really isn't that uncomfortable. There were times where I felt like I was blinking but I actually wasn't. It was custom Lasik; I don't know what interlace is. The worse your eyes are, the more cornea they have to burn through. Therefore, if your eyes are bad, you need to have a thick cornea. In my case, I'll probably only be able to get one or two adjustments. My doctor said only one of my eyes might need one down the line.

As far as healing time, I'm still in the process and it's going to take several months for a full recovery. The only time my eyes hurt was for about an hour after the actual surgery. I've been pain-free since. The poor vision at night is true but it's another one of those things that improves over time. I'm already noticing improvement there, and I'm able to drive at night. To me, months of healing is worth a lifetime of being able to see.
