The backside of Lasik..

Lasik... Everyone knows the good part.. But no one says anything abt the bad part..

So here it goes..

First.. The price.. Pretty obvious... $3k is no small sum..

Second.. The freaking eyedrops.. The amount of times I have to put eyedrops during the first 3 months after operations is insane!!!!! I have a total of 3 eyedrops.. 1 is the antibiotic eyedrops, another is the steroid eyedrops and the last is the a normal eye lubricant eyedrops..

First day after operation, I have to put the antibiotic and steroid eyedrop every 2 hourly with a space of 5 mins in between those 2. On top of that, the lubricant eyedrops to put every 15 mins.. EVERY 15 mins!!! Haven even watch finish 1 How I Met Your Mother episode must put 2 times already!

2nd day - 1st week. The antibiotic and steroid eyedrops every 4 hourly.. And the lubricant every hour..

2nd week.. Only the lubricant changes to 2 hourly..

3rd week - 3 months.. The lubricant eyedrops change to 3 hourly.. 3rd week to 3 months is 9 weeks! 9 weeks of 3 hourly eyedrops! Where got time!!!! No joke leh..

There's more...

Not allowed to rub the eye for first 2 weeks after op..
Have to wear a cool shades/googles 24 hour after op.. Subsequently to wear it nightly for a week!
Eyes cannot have contact with water/soap/shampoo.. Bathing time becomes troublesome since I have to bend my head down to bathe..
Cant play contact sports for 1 month!
Still have to go back the eye centre for 3 more reviews!

But for 10 years of specs-less convenience.. This is a small price to pay.. Focus on the big picture..
