LASIK



Dan is officially glasses free!!! He went under the laser Thursday, November 30 at 9:30am. He was in quite a bit of pain during and after the surgery. For some reason both of us thought laser meant no pain...not the case. He was prescribed some Vicodin for pain. He took one then went to bed for 4-5 hours. When he woke up he was free from pain! Yay! He had to keep his eyes closed for the first 4 hours completely, so the flap could heal. He did great obeying the doctor's orders!

We went in for a check-up on Friday, and everything healed just great! Dan is still taking 3 different eyes drops multiple times a day. He will continue until we go in for our 2 week check-up.

Oh - Dan had to wear protective glasses when he slept for the first day so he didn't accidentally bump he eyes while sleeping - the picture is of him "sleeping" with him lovely glasses!
