Not sure if my wife had the same procedure done as <Samson's> wife, but hers basically went down like this:
1)!They measured and mapped out the curvature of her eyeballs. That told them what needed to be reshaped.
2) They gave her a little Valium to keep her calm because you don't want to move around during surgery.
3) They made a small incision in the cornea, folded back the flap, then reshaped the iris with a laser.
4) They thoroughly flush the eyes and lay the flap in each eye back down
5). She had to cool her heels for about an hour post-procedure and then she came out with the disposable sunglasses they give you like the ones if had your eyes dilated.
6) She slept that evening and was reading without glasses by about 4 a.m.
7) She had to keep here eyes lubricated ( artificial years, I believe) and she had several post procedure visits to make sure everything was G2G. Main thing was the flap had to stay moist and lay flat on the eye
Keep in mind this was ~ 20 years ago, so I imagine they've improved on techniques since then?.
