Day - 0 - Surgery day



This was a nervous day, I was almost bailing out in the morning despite the fact that I was seriously thinking about doing eye surgery for the last five years. My correction was -2.75 (nearsighted) on both eyes, and  -0.75 astigmatism per eye.

At the laser-clinic a nurse talked me through the drops I need to take, gave me painkillers and relaxing pills. I think we spent nearly 30 min talking about the post-surgery drops. This might seem a lot, but it is very important, pay attention, as after the surgery you cannot read until next day.
Surgery itself went smoothly. 35 seconds per eye plus 10 seconds of some medicine on the eye, then the protective contact lenses were put on. Directly after the surgery I could see further then I could before without contacts or glasses, however, my vision was very foggy on all distances and I couldn't read anything, neither on paper or on my IPhone.

 Walked home in sunglasses with the help of my girlfriend.

The first 3 hours was painful, and I had to sit with closed eyes. After the 3 hours the dropping start. The first day it means dropping every 30 min until bed time. Got 4 different drops, one lubricating drop, one cortisone drop, one antibiotic drop and one steroid drop. The pain during hour 4 to the morning after was pretty bad so I took 9 painkillers, then it was okay.

Went to bed early and slept 12 hours, slept with protective googles provided by the clinic.
