So yeah, I just got that new fangled LASIK eye stuff done on saturday. Pretty painless, even though it hurt like a bitch when I got home from it.
Took about a 3 hour nap, and woke up able to open my eyes. Then I could see perfectly without glasses/contacts... It was a weird feeling.
and now my eye has this big red blotch, from the surgery.
just thought i'd show it to ya.

Maybe a nice, cool, shot of my semen in your eye would help ease the pain.
Let me know.

I want to do this, but I'm horrified of the procedure. I mean, they're doing very precise surgery, how do they keep you from not moving your fucking eyeball around during it? They can clamp down your head so you dont move, and keep your eyelids open, but your eyeball will be free to do whatever the fuck it wants, which will be to roam around like a madman out of sheer panic.
----------------------------------
MeTHod - they don't keep you from moving your eye around. If the machine detects the slightest movement within a VERY small threshold, the laser automatically shuts off. Plus, the laser part of the procedure takes all of thirty seconds max per eye, so it's not that long.
Ally - you can have the doc put in permanent plugs to fix the dry-eye problem. If your insurance covered the LASIK, they should cover the plugs as well. (Otherwise they're like $250/plug.)

"...and then I shot it in her eye!"
That's the punchline to a pretty good joke whose set-up I can't seem to recall. This post reminded me of that, for some reason.

3000 dolla

where do you live?

I'm in Connecticut. I think the price is the same all over though, i went to Lasik Plus. the lasik surgery is all they do, so that makes me feel safe... you know? If it's all they do, they gotta be pretty good at it. But it worked out fine for me, i an see!
and i do need to use the eye drops for a bit, my eyes do dry out a little. They said it would only last for at max 6 months, but even if a dry eye is the price for vision, i'll gladly pay that.

You got ripped off, Ally. I just use those awesome contact lenses that change your eye colors to impossible things, like bright red or yellow or green or purple or gray...

my eyes have been called green, purple or gray without the benefit of contacts.

I had mine done a year or two ago. Now my left eye has a tendency to get very dry. I carry eye drops everywhere I go, just about.

Also, this is for BigMike, I have shitty vision, astigmatism and myopeia, am I eligible for this?
If you have severe myopia then you might be a good candidate. Myopes are good candidates, hyperopes are not.
Only your doctor can tell you for sure because he/she will get a good look at what's going on in there.

Mrs. Thorns had that done this summer, too...and also had a red spot in one eye for about 5-6 days or so. Just don't pick at it and it'll go away! ;)

pretty amazing though, how it works. I don't even know "how" it really works, but it sure as hell did.
They take a microscopic slice of your cornea, leave it attached at the end, flip it up, and laser the mass underneath it. Then they flip the cornea slice back down and let it heal.
Obviously it's a little more complicated than that, but you get the picture.
You used to be severely nearsighted is my guess, and now life is a wonderful thing.
Hopefully there will be no scars to alter the way light refractrs into your eye. Those halo's are a bitch.

i used those contact too... but this will end up being cheaper in the long run...
let's say an average of 500 dollars a year for glasses/contacts (new glasses every other year. contacts are 250/year)
in six years it will be even... And i'm only 22. By the time i'm 28, i'll never have to buy contacts, or glasses, or anything like that.
If you look really closely in my other picture, you can see i'm wearing contacts.
well. maybe you can't see it, but it's there. Now... i don't have to clean the contacts, take them out, make sure my eyes don't get infected with bad contact solution, or worry about getting broken glasses cause my dumb drunk ass steps on them.
now i wake up, and can see.
Without correction, i used to be legally blind. Now i have 20/15 vision. wow.
