Welcome

Hi. Welcome to Frank's blog on his experience with LASIK.

I had LASIK eye surgery on January 5, 2005 with a followup procedure on November 8 later that same year. My surgeon was Dr. Ella Factorovich at the Pacific Vision Institute in San Francisco.

I documented my experiences leading up to and immediately after both procedures as a resource for those of you considering the procedure yourself.

Day 3

We drive down to visit my folks. They are geniunely relieved the surgery went well. They had heard some horror stories, had not read anything about LASIK, and were generally Pretty Worried.

After seeing that my eyes looked normal and I was seeing better, they declared the technology a near miracle. Which, I suppose, all things considered, it is.

I'm getting used to seeing halos and the general blurriness. I might be able to see things clearly at a greater distance (say 10-12 feet), but it's not consistent -- and it might be my imagination or my brain trying to compensate. Who knows?

No pain, though. I feel like I'm sleepier -- maybe it's my body telling me to close my eyes to hasten the healing.

I'm getting better at drops slowly. I've got three types 4 times a day to apply. I'll be glad when that's all over with (about a week). Ditto for the eye shields.

Colin says, "daddy -- you look funny, hee hee hee." Katie seems used to my no-glasses look now after giving me a few strange looks the previous days.
