Pre-surgery contact prescription was:
OD (Right eye) -6.00, Cyl -1.25, Axis 20 OS (Left eye) -7.00, Cyl -1,75, Axis 160
The numbing drops didn’t seem to work. I seriously think I could feel the whole thing. They use a brush, almost like a toothbrush, to clean my cornea and then they took the top layer off. Next they did the laser. It wasn't painful but it smelled so bad! They washed my eyes with some drop solution, placed a non-scarring piece my eye for 30 seconds. My visions went white. They took that off and put on the bandage contact lens. When I sat up, I could see pretty good.
I went home and I was in excruciating pain even though they gave me more numbing drops. The Valium did not work at all. When I got home I took some NyQuil as the doctor recommended and tried to take a nap. I never could fall asleep. For the first four hours all I wanted to do was pull out my eyeballs.
Then Eric gave me a Mountain Dew and a Jimmy John’s sandwich and I tell you the truth when I say Mountain Dew is the elixir of life because all of a sudden my pain went away. I was amazed at how well I could see. Eric was watching TV and I occasionally opened my eyes and I could see fine print on the TV. I was really excited.
