I'm slowly recovering following my eye surgery yesterday. I keep getting brief glimpses of what my vision is going to be like after I'm fully healed and it's so exciting. Right now though my vision is incredibly poor.

That's pleasant to hear man. I hope things get better for you.

Hope it'll be worth it! My eyesight has always been bad but not bad enough for me to be brave enough to get surgery for it

@Sean I've only worn glasses for a few years. And prescription was very low; -0.75 in one eye and -0.5 in the other. The worst part of the surgery is the recovery, where it feels like you can't escape a room full of chopped onions (plus this is the surgery with the liner recovery time). The operation itself is nothing. It took 30 seconds in my left eye and 12 seconds on my right eye. That 30 seconds procedure was a long one, by all accounts. You just lie down and look at a little red LED. If you look away (which I did twice) the procedure stops. You don't feel anything. It's incredible. I wish I could convince you that there's nothing to be afraid of.

Whoa that's pretty cool to learn. I had no idea laser eye surgery was so unintrusive, I assumed you get put under and they're literally cutting up your eye physically with lasers sci-fi style lmao
Well, even that's an overdramatic description, I mean more... lasers are doing something physically akin to burning music to a CD but to your eyeballs, somehow.

Not that I have a wealth of knowledge about surgical procedures, but it's certainly the least invasive procedure I know of. Your standard trip to the opticians for an eye test is more invasive.
ngl, it is expensive (adverts say "from just £399 per eye and thats bullshit). But everyone u know who had had it done has said it's the some of the best uses of their money ever.

That's good to know regarding the procedure as I thought it would be some painful and complicated process but I'm still going to stick to my glasses as I'm still a coward on the matter as well as too broke.
Hope you recover completely and soon.
