LASIK!

Well, I finally realized my forever-old dream of having LASIK.  On the 22nd, after years of having 20/400 vision, and after a couple years of only being able to wear contacts about once a week (my eyes randomly got sensitive on my mission), I went to Hoopes Vision and let them laser my eyes.

The surgery apparently went perfectly.  My left eye cleared up to about 20/20 within a few hours, but my right eye started irritating me after I got home and stayed blurry.  I was pretty worried, but thankfully I found out the next day at the post-op appointment that there was just an abrasion on my right eye, and that it should clear up within a few days.  Until then, I'm trying to survive having different vision in each eye.

In case you're interested, here's a video of the second part of my surgery.  The flap had already been created at this point by a different laser.  It looks like my eye's being cut open, but really the flap is just being lifted up.  I was awake the whole time, but couldn't feel anything.  Enjoy!


Oh...and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I would love to say I watched the video but I didn't want to make myself sick. So cool that you have perfect vision. I am a little jealous. Merry Christmas

So cool, Ry. I'm glad you could have that done. Any progress on the right eye yet?
