Is 15 Jan already, and i have not started my 1st blog this year!

Everyday rushing to reach their school by 6.30pm to pick them. Then rush back to mum place for dinner, then rush home, and rush to finish their homework.....and everyday is rushing rushing rushing!

This my lifestyle this year! And still wanna find time for my sideline! heehee....

I want to blog about my eye lasik done end of Dec.

I did not go to the popular clinic instead, i went to the one at wheelock place. At least i dont feel pain, tearing, only slight discomfort for about 2 hours after the op. Probably is drowsy, the eye just want to close, otherwise everything is ok. Though sleeping pills & painkiller are given, i don need them at all.

The whole thing took about 1.5 hr though the lasik itself is only few mins.

When there, they need u to paid first. Then check the eye again by the staff then by the doctor. Then they will bring u to place ur belonging in the locker and put on their gown, no need to change. Then they will clean your eyes and drop some liquid into your eyes and to be checked by the doctor again. When the OP room is ready, they will bring u in. Where u lay down like the dentist chair.

The 1st part of the lasik will begin. One eye will be covered. The other eye will be clamped for about 20-30 seconds. This is the most u can feel. The clamp. Then the doctor will start to count down 25, 20, 15, etc. and done! The pressure will release! During this 20+ sec, doc will ask you not to swallow, this prodcess is call "intralase" where no blade is used to do corneal flap.

Then the nurse will rinse both eyes with cold saline water and rest in the room for a few mins for the air-bubbles to form. Then they will bring you to the next room where the lasik will be done.

There, u will lie down like in the operation room. Then they will wrap you up with aluminim foil instead of blanket. (i dont know why) Again 1 eye will be covered, the other 1 will be clamp open only, no pressure this time, just to keep open the eye. Look at the beam light where the doctor will flap over the corneal then everything is blur and nothing can be seen liao, and within seconds it is done!.

Then u need to rest for 10-15 mins before they let u go. And eye sight corrected! Finally I can discard the spec after more than 20 years! But there are this Lao Hua to come in few years time! I m contented even with just few years without glasses!

Actually Lasik is best with degree less than 600. And not the higher the better!

So to those still thinking, i seriously think this is worth! Just with about 2-4 weeks downtime, where swimming and diving to be avoided.
