So I finally obtained clarity. Made laser correction, that is.
Going from -5.25 on both eyes to 100% clear picture is great. 10/10, would recommend. The process is painless, yet unpleasant. What baffles me is that it's cheaper to buy clear vision that an iPhone. Hail capitalism.
I'll describe the process. First, diagnostics are run to determine the cornea thickness. Then, in a wekk (one shouldn't wear contact lenses over this week) the surgery begins. The nurse disinfects eyes and provides you with a nice hat, coat and a mask. You lie down on a table, a sterile cloth is put over your face.
A laser cuts cornea, surgeon puts it aside and another laser burns parts of the eye (the lens, I suppose) to change the focal strength. The cornea is then put back and the process is repeated on the other eye. Unpleasant sensations come mostly from fixators that keep eyelids in place, as well as the vacuum fixator for the eyeball. There is also an intense smell of burned fried eggs that comes from the eye when the laser is on.
If anyone has questions I'll be happy to answer to the best of my abilities, but keep in mind that I'm not a medical professional.
@academicalnerd It's always nice to get some good news in the world: somebody feels better than yesterday. 👍
