hi guys!!!
this is the 1st time im writing my experience to all of u out thr.
this is about laser treatment for my eyes. it took my 2 long years to decide if i should go in for the treatment as it meant a lot me. being a little chick by heart i wasnt sure of it.
it all started when i read about a girl gettin it done in paper and was satisfied with it. i thought il go in for it. as i have been wearing it from the age of 3. not very high eye power, still wearing specs or contact lenses everyday was a process. day wasnt so bad. but yeah if late nights were a plan then yeah, i had to think twice as wearing contact lenses for long hrs hurt your eyes. plus unlike most people, i had axis/cylindrical power. not eye power. so i had to be sure if treatment is done for such kinda eye power.
after 2 long years of self counselling i decided to go in for it. spoke to my parents as they were to pay my bills.
treatment:-
now was the step i had to take. big step for me as going inside the hospital was like climbing the mountain.
day 1:
at 8 a.m was my eye test, met the doc 1st. doctor turned out to my uncle by sheer luck. 1st question:- wat is the problem? my answer:- "no problem doctor, just bored of wearing specs and contact lenses".
2nd question:- so u wanna go for a laser treatment? answer:- yes!!! 3rd question:- which treatment? lasic or zyoptix? (lasic is a general laser treatment, zyoptix is a customised but expensive treatment). answer:- il discuss it with dad and get back in a moment doctor. (reason why i called my uncle doctor is...he hates being unprofessional while in duty)
spoke to dad and got approval for zyoptix ofcourse. should have known dad would never say yes for anything general. a little to protective so perfers things that are expensive and show a bigger tag. :P
it was zyoptix then...
tests started....4 long hours of tests i had to prepare myself for.
1st few tests were fine...no eye drops just look into the system and results out.
retina test was the most difficult one. had to bare the eye drops for 5 times. then the retina test....ah.....i yelled my heart out loud. everyone in the room went silent and were surprised as to wat kinda girl i was. little chick i say :P
got approval from all the doc's for the laser treatment. i was happy to hear my "eyes were fit to bear the laser rays".
day 2:-
early mornin at 8.30 was my operation. had to again bare the eye drops for about 10 times. they were pain killer eye drops. and then had to go inside the operation theater. just before the sister applied some drops over my eye which made it numb. i couldnt feel my eye lids. inside the the operation theater....i enter and c the laser machine...HUGE!!!
uh........i ran out of the operation theater and had 2 sisters running behind me, catch hold of me and drag me inside the OT.
lay on the operation bed and the operation about to start. doctor kept talkin to me around throughout the operation so i can relax and not worry. 10 min.....and the operation ends.
one line from doc and im jumping all around inside the OT. "your operation is successful" phew....no one in the world can imagin my sign of relief and happiness. i come out running again (with joy this time) and get caught by sisters again. why???????? after the operation i have to wear blind man glasses for a month. so i wear it and im out.
wait again....as another doc would test my eye just to be sure of all and give away few needful instructions that are very important to follow. i atek instructions and im out of the hospital. back home...all i do is...eat and go to bed.
whole day i eat...sleep and apply eye drops.
next day again a routine check up for my eye. all fine and a few more instructions.
instructions:-
no tv, laptop, mps, ipod, mobiles, out in the sun or under bright lights for 5 days.
no head bath for 10 days.
i assure doc that i would obey and not give him a chance to fire me.
only when i return home and few min later i realise how difficult it is to be witout laptop, mobile and music for 5 days. my time wasnt passing at all.
all i could do is eat and sleep or talk to my family. i was super bored!!! :(
day 1 to 5 was the most difficult part i had been through till date (atleast i felt so).
day 6 i was over joyed as i could use my laptop and phone now. i was online and chattin. but was cautious as i did not wanna strain my eyes a lot. 10 days and i was the happiest.
11th day i went straight to the salon for a hair wash. i no much water on my face. could enter my eyes and hurt it.
ah.....today is the 12th day and im already feel great. the feeling of no specs and contact lenses........have run outta words.
my vision is clear, no pain, itching or irritation.
no more drops, medicines or glasses. can go out and enjoy life as always.
people who have eye power like me...i would definately suggest this laser treatment to all of u.
its easy, not very expensive and a relief.
think about it and go in for it :)
take care all :)
