    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?.

    There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

    I had it done by lasik plus in 2013, i was pretty blind. My night vision got worse from it but not that bad.

    I had my right eye touched up in 2012 and in 2015 i decided to get glasses rather then fuck with my eyes.

    Eye doctor tomd me to wait until im in my 40’s when my eyes dont change as much to have it corrected one last time.

    I most likely wont do it.

    Sounds spot on to my ex wife

    It was about 20 years ago when she had it done

    My wife now, just had it done about 5 years back - seems quite similar to what it was back then
