Yes! My surgery was a success! You can't imagine how relieved I felt when I opened my eyes immediately after the surgery to discover that I still have my sight. Haha. The experience was terrifying; I was uptight the whole time. Thank goodness I have a nice doctor and nice nurses around. This marks the first and only selective surgery that I will ever put myself through in my life.
Today is considered the third day, or specifically, 43 hours after the surgery. Yesterday when I went for the first follow up, doctor said everything is excellent, I have 6/6 eyesight on the first day of recovery, and no signs of infection. I was soooo happy to hear that. And he said I could do and eat whatever I want, as long as no swimming and contact sports for a month. And so, I watched a movie last night already. Terminator Salvation, with a bucket of popcorn. :)
Well, I wasn't supposed to wash my face and hair for the first 48 hours after surgery, but who could stand doing that right? So, I did both of the 'sins', being very careful not to allow water get in my eyes. Unfortunately, a few drops of water did flow across my eyelids last night while I was washing hair and it was a little stingy. But I think everything is under control. Hehe. :P
I might have lost quite a good portion of my fine vision though. I can't see my pores at all. Either they have miraculously disappeared or more logically, my eyes can't see tiny things like pores anymore. As a result, I appear prettier on my mirror and my man appears more handsome. The illusion of a smooth complexion.
I sure hope my fine vision gets better. I wouldn't want to think that I'm a swan when everyone else sees me as an ugly duck.
And by the way, my doctor is Leonard Ang, Premium Lasik Surgery Clinic.
2 weeks of turbulence but we survived.

Hi yuNi,
I happened to stumbled into your blog while googling for info on Lasik surgery here...
I'm also going for Lasik soon... currently deciding which centre should I go to... Shinagawa, LSC, etc.
Btw, may I know how many days of mc (including the actual day of surgery itself) are you given huh? :P
Hmmm... your pre-lasik evaluation and the surgery are on the same day huh? I thought they are usually on different dates (for some centres)... and I was told that the pre-lasik evaluation will take around 3hours... true? :)
Many thanks in advance!
Hi Lynn,
I'm not sure bout other clinics but LSC has very good service and you'll feel comfortable there. I was given 2 days (actually the doctor ask how many days I want) so I think if you need more, you can just tell the staff there.Haha.
The evaluation will take 3 hours and yep, I did mine all on the same day (evaluation in the morning, surgery in the afternoon).
Hope the info was helpful! :)
All the best for your surgery!
Thanks for the update, yuNi! :)
