10 days after laser eye surgery

Well, it seems that I am addicted to this blogging thingie already! I thought I will take a picture of my right eye to show the aftermath of my laser eye surgery from 10 days ago. This is due to suction during surgery - to stop involuntary movement of the eye! The surgeon described this as the "hickey" from the machine. LOL~~ Apparently, this will take up to 2 weeks to go back to normal. I shall wait and see ...

Hi Mudtea...:),

Thats scary....you are putting me off laser surgery...noooooo....hehe. Maybe the camera is a bit too close to your eye, making the inflamation look larger than normal...hehe. However on a more serious note, does this suction effect happen to all patients?

Com'on Gaj! No pain no gain!!

It happened to everybody. If the suction is not sucking any blood to the surface of your ball, than there's something wrong with you!

The surgeon actually received a phone call to his mobile from a patient on the night of the surgery. The patient panicked as that was the first time he was able to see what his eyes look like after the surgery.

I just assumed it was due to the laser cut. :p

Aha!! I was wondering why the time was weird! I think it's fixed now after a few tweak in the Setting!

Ahh that's better, I thought something was up when I posted and it said 1am on my post. PS. Cindy says hi (twice)
