Laser Eye Surgery – 3 Month Followup
Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on April 30th, 2007
So it’s been three months now, and my eyes are getting better all the time. My vision is 20/20, and the haloing effect I had at night is barely noticeable.
Two Days After PRK Laser Eye Surgery
Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on January 24th, 2007
Today started off pretty crappy. When I woke up, I had trouble focussing, and the contact in my left eye felt out of place. Still, I got showered, dressed up a bit in my new pants and belt (which I bought yesterday when I was waiting for my checkup appointment, using my Bay Gift Certificate… thanks Mom!), and went in to work.
The Day After PRK Laser Eye Surgery

I was in good hands for my surgery. This is the painting I was talking about yesterday, located in the main greeting room for the company that did my eye surgery. I guess the “Prayer Request” card in my surgery package (where I could ask to have my surgeon, who “believes in the power of prayer,” pray with me personally before the surgery) wasn’t an isolated artifact.
PRK Laser Eye Surgery Smells Like Burning Hair

This is what I look like before going to bed. Seriously. This is to keep me from rubbing my eyes in my sleep. Which I would definitely do.
What?!? Look Directly at the Laser?!?

As for safety, my surgeon is apparently a superstar. I googled him, and found a whole bunch of research he is working on, along with a guy who had him as his eye surgeon, and gives the doc a huge thumbs up. About the most disturbing thing I could find about him is a small square of paper in my preparation package with the title “Prayer Request.” It starts “Your surgeon is a Christian and he believes in the power of prayer.” If I check the box, put my name on the line, and hand it in on the day of my surgery, the doctor will take a moment to pray with me for a good outcome. However, the card also says that “Each day [the doctor] personally prays for his patients and he prays for divine guidance as he operates on each patient.” I think that should be enough. After all, if God is looking out for the doc’s performance (and, by association, his malpractice insurance), I’m sure that means I should be fine.
