I had the surgery done on a Friday, drove to my check up on Saturday and went and spent the day outside watching a disc golf tourney later that day. My eyes did sting quite a bit on Friday, so I slept a lot, but I felt great afterwards.

yeah I probably could have driven on Thursday (the day after the surgery) but Friday and Sat... no way in hell... I couldn't keep my eyes open for more than about a second on Sat... nothing more than a blink on Fri... and again that was in my dark apartment. |

The day after was clear, but the day after the day after I was freaking blind. Both near and far. The only thing I could figure out to do to amuse myself was fly this little cheap foam r/c airplane I had around my complex's garage. That's the only thing I could think of that didn't require any detail vision to do. The big difference between PRK and Lasik is the recovery time--Lasik has basically none.

Yikes! I guess I had it easy. If my eyes don't go back to normal after this baby is born I think I will look into the possibility of a touch up on my left eye. Considering I had 20/200 vision in that eye before surgery, I think they did a good job and I would do it again, if it is not going to screw up my eyes.

I'll say this about the results...when I walked out and got in the car a 1/4 mile down the road I could read road signs at 50yrds when before the surgery I wouldn't have been able to see the sign was there without glasses or contacts. Had mine done in the morning and the first day everything is kinda hazy, but I could see way better than I could since 2nd grade. The next day I went to work, drove myself, could see to function just fine. Every day for a week I could tell an improvement and after that it was gradual but I could see so good I would have been happy with what I had on the 3rd day! |

Woops, didn't read all the posts. I wouldn't do it right before your exams! Your eyes will tire easily for the first 4 or 5 days, mine did especially if I was reading or on the computer. Might want to do it afterward.

Even with Lasik, you're eyes will dry out quickly if reading or looking at a computer screen for long. I wouldn't schedule it near a test.....

Why do they have you wearing contacts? I didn't wear any after mine and i could see to drive to work and work the day after I had mine done. I just had to keep my eyes moist with "refreash tears" eye drops.
My eyes would get tired easy the first few days but i could close them for about 2 minutes and they were fine for a while. |
